Deval Patrick on Trump: I Would Support Impeachment

TAPPER: “Let me ask you, two in three Democratic voters say Democrats, if they win the House, should begin the process of impeaching President Trump. That’s according to a recent poll. Would you support that?”

PATRICK: “Yeah, if the grounds are there, then that — we should proceed. I think there’s a lot of basis to believe the grounds are there. But I don’t think that’s a first order of business. I think the first order of business is acting as real check on this President, having — doing the job that the Constitution requires and expects, that is not happening with the House today. And there’s an awful lot of policy and legislative business that is going undone today because we cannot get bipartisan or nonpartisan behavior out of the House today because of the extreme behavior of a small number — small minority — small but vocal minority of the Republican — the Republican Party in the House. That’s got to change.”
