Rep. Ro Khanna on Impeaching Trump: He’s Going To Be a ‘Lame Duck,’ the Point Is to Stand Up for the Constitution

‘Impeachment says that you can’t get into an illegal war in Iran without constitutional approval’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KHANNA: "No, it’s not because it’s not about Donald Trump. He is going to be a lame duck and in my view largely increasingly irrelevant. The point is to stand up for the Constitution. Impeachment says that you can’t get into an illegal war in Iran without constitutional approval. Impeachment says you can’t just start firing federal employees when — in defiance of what Congress says. It says you can’t do deals with foreign governments to allegedly enrich your own family. It’s about setting a standard. And the Democrats can impeach to uphold constitutional values at the same time have a first 100 day agenda that deals with the cost of living to have childcare. I just unleashed a free childcare plan to have an increase in minimum wage, to have paid family leave, to tax the billionaires. We can do both."
