Chair of Congressional Black Caucus says Trump sending troops is impeachable offense

The fact that Democrats want to impeach Trump is not exactly news.

However, the reason they now want to use is a new one.

Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY), who is currently serving as the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), believes she can use Trump sending troops to California without the request of Gov. Gavin Newsom as an impeachable offense.

Impeach him!

Democrats are looking for reasons to impeach Trump if they take back control of the House in 2026.

It would appear that they did not quite learn their lesson about bogus impeachments after Trump’s first term in office.

Now, while I have expressed concerns about Trump facing impeachment over his pardons of the Jan. 6 protestors, this is not something I am all that concerned about in terms of gaining real traction in Congress.

I don’t believe Trump should have overridden Newsom on this issue, as I would have offered but still waited until the request was made, solely to let the American people see how much Democrats are supporting thugs and criminals in this country.

That said, Clarke believes Trump stepped over the line, stating, “I definitely believe it is [impeachable]. But we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

The chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) is also looking at this, stating, “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”

Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) added, “I have to study all the facts. This is not over yet, but it certainly hasn’t started out in a good way.”

As I have stated in previous reports, I think sending the troops in without the state’s request was a mistake by Trump.

This plays into the Democrats’ contention that Trump wants to be a dictator, and it allows them to go back to his pardons of Jan. 6 participants.

In essence, Democrats set the trap, and Trump fell right into it, even to the point that the president has been referring to the riots as a possible insurrection.

If Trump calls this an outright insurrection, he is loading Democrats up for a massive attack against him for how differently he treated the Jan. 6 unrest at the Capitol and how he is treating the rioting in Los Angeles.

I have already seen the attacks suggesting that Trump only believes an insurrection is bad when it does not benefit him, and those allegations will only get stronger the more he tries to use the military to quell these riots.

If I were advising Trump on this, I would have recommended that he held a press conference to discuss the state of the riots, saying that if California wanted help in the form of the National Guard, he would fully support the troops being activated, but that it was the state’s call on that matter.

If Democrats want their state destroyed like this, let them destroy it, but don’t allow them to create an attack narrative when they are the ones who are screwing this up.
