On Wednesday, Speaker of the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced the impeachment managers who will be participating in the Impeachment trial in the Senate and during a floor speech before the final Impeachment vote, Pelosi responded icily to Republicans who criticized her for sitting on the articles of Impeachment for weeks.
On the floor of the House, Pelosi said, “Don’t talk to me about my timing. For a long time, I resisted the calls from across the country for Impeachment of the president for obvious violations of the Constitution that he had committed, but recognizing the divisiveness of Impeachment, I held back. Frankly, I said, this president isn’t worth it.”
She continued, “But when he acted the way he did — in relationship to withholding funds from Ukraine in return for a benefit to him that was personal and political — he crossed a threshold. He gave us no choice.”
