Fetterman scoffs at AOCs push to impeach Trump after Iran strikes: Thats not going anywhere

Pennsylvania Sen.John Fetterman brushed aside far-left “Squad” Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s clamoring to impeach President Trump over his Saturday strikes against three of Iran’s nuclear facilities.Fetterman (D-Pa.), who lauded the attack, warned that Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) threat reduces the significance of impeachment, which he implied should be reserved for more extreme circumstances.“Of course, no, she knows it.I know it.

We all know it,” Fetterman told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” when asked about the possibility of Trump getting impeached over the strikes.“That’s not going anywhere on.

And you know, he’s been impeached twice, and now he’s still our president,” the Keystone State lawmaker added.“I think if you throw that term around, that actually diminishes what the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for.”On Saturday, Trump announced that he had ordered strikes on Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan nuclear facilities.

Top military officials are still assessing the damage done during the strikes, but Trump claimed there had been “monumental damage” done.Shortly after the announcement, Ocasio-Cortez publicly declared that Trump’s actions rose to the level of impeachment.“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers,” Ocasio-Cortez fumed after Trump announced the attack.“He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”Other Democrats echoed that argument as well, with Rep.

Sean Casten (D-Ill.) calling it an “unambiguous impeachable offense.”Despite those calls, Democratic leadership has declined to go that far, though they did rebuke him for the attacks and argued that he should’ve properly consulted Congress before launching the airstrikes.“I think impeachment is not a wide sentiment.

That’s fring...
