Varney on the Impeach Trump Crowd

Varney on the Impeach Trump Crowd

Fox Business host Stuart Varney responded Thursday to news that six Democrat representatives have introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, saying the real reason liberals really want to impeach Trump is because they despise him.

Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced the introduction of the articles of impeachment on Wednesday. He was joined by Reps. Al Green of Texas, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, John Yarmuth of Kentucky and Adriano Espaillat of New York.

“Given the magnitude of the constitutional crisis, there’s no reason for delay,” Cohen said in a statement.

However, Varney suggested that this “latest push for impeachment” from the “far left” has nothing to do with the Constitution.

“There are no grounds for impeachment. What the left is doing is showing its utter contempt for President Trump,” he said. “They won’t use the word but I will. They hate him.”

Stuart Varney was on fox business and speaking his mind on why the left really wants to impeach Trump.

Varney said he wants those pushing for impeachment to be given “maximum publicity,” so that it’s “very clear just who the haters are.”

He noted that establishment Democrats like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez are “worried” about talk of impeachment.

“Nancy Pelosi knows her colleagues have gone way too far. That’s why she says impeachment is not a priority. DNC chair Tom Perez is running away from impeachment too. He says, ‘We need to concentrate on jobs.'”

The Fox Business host said the result of impeachment talks actually depends on whether Republicans are successful in their efforts to reform the tax system.

If Republicans fail to push through tax reform, Varney said, then Democrats may take back the House in the 2018 midterm elections.

“That would mean the House, the place in charge of impeachments, will go to the Democrats, and you can bet Speaker Pelosi –as she would become — will charge full speed ahead to get rid of and cripple the Trump presidency,” he said.

Varney added that he doesn’t think there is any good reason to impeach Trump. But that might not stop the Democrats.

“Impeachment is a highly political process, and if the left is put back in charge, they will exploit their political power,” he said.

“If Senate Republicans vote no on tax cuts, the GOP is surely destined for defeat next year, and hatred, contempt and yes, impeachment, will be unleashed full force.”

“The stakes could not be higher,” Varney concluded.
