Faso says if Dems take House, impeachment will soon follow
The Mid-Hudson News Network is reporting U.S. Rep. John Faso dismissed his critics and vowed victory for Republican candidates in remarks made at a political fundraiser on April 22. “There is, no doubt, excessive polarization in our country,” the Kinderhook Republican said. “The other side is very energized. They are determined to reverse the outcome of the 2016 election; that’s what this is really about, folks, when you really cut to the chase. The Democrats, if they win control of the House of Representatives, the very first item on the agenda, is going to be impeachment [of President Donald Trump],” he said. Faso said Democrats have failed to produce anything that could be seen as an impeachable offense. “Excessive tweeting is not an impeachable offense, last time I looked,” he laughed. Faso told those in attendance that Republicans should talk to Democrats to find common ground, at the same time he characterized "people on the other side" as intolerant. In late 2017, the first-term Congressman was named one of Roll Call's 10 most vulnerable House incumbents at mid-term. A field of seven Democrats are currently vying to unseat him in November.
