Pelosi on Trump: ‘I’m Not for Impeachment’

She said he’s “just not worth it.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told The Washington Post that while she thinks President Trump is “unfit” to hold the office, she is not for impeaching him. “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. And he’s just not worth it,” Pelosi said. She later added that she thought Trump was unfit for the presidency ethically, intellectually, and politically. “No, I don’t think he’s fit to be president of the United States. And that’s up to us to make the contrast to show that this president—while he may be appealing to you on your insecurity and therefore your xenophobia, whether it’s globalization or immigrants—is fighting clean air for your children to breathe, clean water for them to drink, food safety, every good thing that we should be doing that people can’t do for themselves,” she said. “You depend on the public sector to do certain things for the health and well-being of your family, and he is counter to that.”
