Representative Matt Gaetz also argued that the impeachment inquiry was simply for 'television consumption.'

independent Representative Justin Amash of Michigan. Amash, one of the legislative body's most conservative members, was elected as a Republican but declared his independence in July.

"I've been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path, because it divides the country," she said."And he's just not worth it."

She did and there are plenty of democrats who stated as much just after Trump won.

This is one of those absurd fact checks by morons at Newsweek. There is no way to falsify the statement. You can’t say it is not true. It is impossible to say it is inaccurate. Even if Pelosi denies it, that doesn’t PROVE it is false.

He was wrong. She planned it before she took power.

That’s not inaccurate at all.

Perhaps, because even by then it was clear trump would do something illegal.

PELOSI & THE DEMOCRATS THREATENED IMPEACHMENT BEFORE PRES. TRUMP WAS SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT !!!!!

MattGaetz projecting again.

Bullshit, Newsweek. Nancy admitted that this process has been going on for over tow and a half years. Blind Freddy and his deaf dog know that impeachment was on Nancy's agenda the moment she took over.

Fits right in with the gazillion other lies of the Trump administration...🤣

Inaccurately? Says who?

'idiotically claims' -- She was long attacked for resisting the movement to impeach the Insane Clown President.

Republican lies are spinning out of control. American politics is greatly damaged by the creation of a false narrative fed to a receptive significant number of people by the trumpian partisans.

Was she not opposing impeachment of the president, bc she saw it as harmful for the US? However it seems that those in the WH thought this was a sign of inability to finally act.

I trust the congressman before you.

Democrats stepping up the political war👎👎

Nope, that'd be false.

Why not just call it what it is? A lie

They are liars and must stir the base before they go to the next shiny thing.

The Dems sure have, whether she participated at the beginning or not! She admitted they’ve been working on it for 22 months! So it didn’t take long!

The DEMs did...Nancy just played politics with the idea.

But the speaker openly said they've been working on impeachment 2 n half yrs ago....so wats inaccurate about it? Fake news i guess

What a circus!

I would have as well . ImpeachedPresidentTrump

Hes just a DWI

TV News HQ TVNewsHQ 17h17 hours ago More Nancy wants to play games and squeeze a little more drama. She’s afraid that if she sends these weak impeachment articles, the Senate is going to find Trump not guilty” — JesseBWatters.

matt was probably under the influence when that thought was put into his head by trump from putin.

These guys don’t face facts.

Liars. They are all freaking liars.

Congress republicans are like delinquent teenagers. When caught misbehaving they (1) say they didn't do it, then (2) blame someone else, then (3) admit doing it but try to find 'good' excuse for it. Now, Trump DESERVED impeachment back in 2016 for all the shit he was saying.

well voting 5-6 times, spending 3+years and even saying they would before it happened seems pretty planned

So you think the GOP lies. Yes that’s all they do.

OK. “Russia, if you’re listening “ was enough for me

GOP Republicans LIE all the time and having a proven, very well documented liar like Trump at the head of their party is the icing on the cake, so, of course, Nancy Pelosi 'planned' to impeach Trump.

What would be the problem if she did seeings how he won the race on falsities. He never actually won. He purchased electorates which is why the discrepancy in popular. He totally should have been

He and Nancy Pelosi inaccurately claimed the assume thing...... Weird

Prove it.

Your right, she was in mourning the first week.

She refused numerous times when being pushed to do it.

Very very tired of republican lies. Don't they know how to be honest. Trump got himself impeached by abusing his power.

Pelosi was the one telling the Democrats no. They were upset with her. Some people think they can tell us anything and feel we’re gullible enough to believe it. Research the info for yourself. Don’t be the uneducated.

...and Trump handed it to her on a silver platter...

Or, Republican congressman lies about (fill in the blank).

TrueStory. NancyPelosi is visiting a couple 'psychiatrists' in WashingtonDC. She is complaining of seeing DonaldTrump 'naked' every single night😎

Blah blah blah.... DNC Propaganda Machine.... 🤢

Why are Republicans so dumb

Newsweek is a propaganda outlet likely owned by Chinese interests

It was an hour after

Gemorace Her counsel from Brookings Institute were the authors of impeachment and Nancy’s subsequent withholding tactics 💥⚡️

she is a mind reader🤣 republican idiots!🤪

My aunt would say he's drinking mad pu** p*** // too much orange-flavored koolaid cult45 cultfollower

Trump hacked his way in to his current position. Trump 3

She did not want to go down this road!

Newsweak

Whatever, she would rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the sidewalk and tell the truth! She only wants power and that’s it!!

Audible gasps fill the air as peoples minds are blown that someone finally found a Republican Congressman who made inaccurate claims!!!

Where is the evidence ?

Not publicly but, all Dems were waiting for any possible reason since 2016. They couldn't wait any longer da they had to generate a reason.

Dear - you're lying again. He was accurate. Here is Nancy in her own words. 'Two and a half years'

Well he is a crook since day 1

Not inaccurately claims, he’s LYING.

in simulacra on the end nobody really knows why they elected him or why they are getting rid of him

Lol Hoped for? Absolutely true for many democratic house members.

Hippocrates........

that would mean she had a damn good idea of the kind of person who was moving into the WH and that it was only a matter of time. clairvoyant, shrewd judge of people or a bit of both?

Nope. He did this to himself.

Seems as if Republicans forgot about Mitch McConnell and him trying everything in his power to make Obama a one term POTUS! He didn't like nor love him...... 🤷

How's that inaccurate? What planet do you live on? Or maybe you didn't get the script....

And Republicans planned on how to screw America the moment Trump was elected.

She held off the other democrats who wanted to. But if she knew about Russian involvement in our elections, you have to wonder. Remember US banks won't even loan money to Trump because he's such a screw-up. That alone proves he's not good at his job. We have the debt to prove it.

She maybe not they absolutely have been

Yep they said they were coming to DC to impeach remember Maxine and the crazy woman saying impeach the MF

They all did.

Rewriting history. These people are nuts😂 Remember the Birthers and Obama’s Mom and his birth certificate.

Total B.S. .....check Snopes

Was that BEFORE or AFTER the Electoral College PLANNED for realDonaldTrump to win by the 'OLIGARCHY' over-ride vote? cc: HillaryClinton TeamPelosi RBReich

BS

She hates Trump cut and dry.

Actually, she started planning it on 1/20/17

*since the minute trump decided to invite foreign influence into our elections

Oh I see!!! So, she planned in January to make Trump use Ukraine to investigate his rivals in July. The logic of Trumpists

Actually, Trump planned for Impeachment, from day 1 by his actions relative to BRIBERY with UKRAINE; Obstruction of Congress by not allowing White House staff to provide information relative 'concerns' about the 'abuse of power' coming from the 'presidential office'🧐

He’s right

It's been confirmed by SpeakerPelosi herself. Enough with the fake clickbait headlines already!

Looks pretty obvious to me that dems had this in mind from day one

Of course we know this! And her Catholic praying shit is over the top.

I sure she did

It’s a lie but so what? He is still guilty.

No fue desde el momento en que Trump ganó la elección. Fue cuando los demócratas alcanzaron la mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes. Gracias a esa persecución política sin sentido, el Presidente Trump será reelecto.

I can legit say that's right. She pissed me off for awhile for refusing to do it.

well TeamPelosi refused to condemn the calls for impeachment...using the CNN analogy that someone must be guilty if they refuse to condemn......

Oh I see!!! So, she planned to get Trump to use Ukraine to investigate the Bidens since 2016-2017 Wow!!! She must be a prophet.

Pathological liars.

These guys have seen to have no problem going down in history as a bunch of liers with no morals what so ever. America has some serious credibility issues to contend with

That's putting it politely! Tell it like it IS newsweek. Please. This soft peddling is only helping Putin.

Nonsense. The Muller report provided a better case for impeachment than the Zelensky call. If this was the plan from the beginning why not start impeachment back in May?

It's not a claim its a flat out lie! Everything out of Republicans mouths are lies RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

She said so. Live. On TV.

Who cares what any GOP members says?

Republicans say anything and everything that is nasty or mean to see if it sticks or goes anywhere. Anything to jeopardize chances for others or put down anyone even if it costs America’s freedom.

The majority of Americans know better than to believe this tweet. Pelosi has always been the head, nothing happens without her involved somehow.

Another Republican lie.

This is boilerplate language for any story about the ComplicitCorruptGOP : 'Republican congressman inaccurately claims _____________________.' just fill in the the blank VoteOutGOP2020

Be real Your people know the congressman meant 'since the moment he(Pres Trump) took power' And this happens to be true. Besides, are your creative writers so hung up on TDS that this is all they can come up with as news?

I do not think any one could imagine that a president of the United States would so unethical to abuse power for personal gain... not even Democrats.

She did, she said it.

How is it inaccurate? The fix was in after the 2018 midterms. They just needed a pretext.

We’re you expecting a deep insight from an R? They only do self serving propaganda. They’re all Russian plants now

It's simple. Americans gave the Democrats control of the House of Representatives in 2018, *because* House and Senate 'leaders' were allowing realDonaldTrump to run roughshod over Congress. Then, Trump tried to double down on his carefree corruption, got caught and impeached.

What is hyperbole for $500 Alex.

False. It was actually day one of the president's term:

Grasping at straws.

I dont think She ever wanted to impeach. She has to lead the Compound. She has a lot of entitled ethnics on her compound that her able judgment has to appease, or she would have an insurrection on her hands. This Congressman should be a better person and not lie on her.

'Republican congressman inaccurately claims' & Matt Gaetz at that.

The ignorant are on full display!

Not like she ever admitted it on tv...nope not at all.😂

mattgaetz GOP GOPLeader SenateGOP HouseGOP RepDougCollins Jim_Jordan DebbieLesko SenSusanCollins

She did.

I agree 100% with that. The impeachment was planned the moment they knew the result of the election, not the moment he took power. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer Impeached45 Impeach

How stupid He is sticking to the Trump is being picked on defense That doesnt work against facts unless you are a 6 yr old

there you go press, media in the headline say inaccurately

The Republican's have an agenda to push.

Nope.
