Welcome to 2019, when a congresswoman says “we’re going to impeach the mother——er.”

For about the 100th time - didn't Hillary apologize the very next day for saying that? I know if your children said something and apologized and never said it again you wouldn't constantly bring it up.

formthe 100th time, she apologized after she said it, and after people
told
her that it would
benefit her politically to do so. you didn’t answer
my question, where was the outcry on the left when she said it?

there is a lot
more to the gop than trump. compare paul ryan and mitch mcconnell to nancy pelosi and chuck schumer? come on.

Do you mean this awful statement, that you and other Trumplicans have extracted one word from and repeated it endlessly?
That word somehow justifies the multitude of awful statements and enabling of racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic groups by Trump.
And remember the Call and response "Who's paying for the wall?" Chorus: Mexico

"I know there are only 60 days left to make our case — and don’t get complacent, don’t see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think well he’s done this time. We are living in a volatile political environment. You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?

[Laughter/applause]

The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."

She's talking about tens of millions of Americans.

There was more than one word that made her statement awful. Her whole statement was awful. And it enabled or justified calling people who supported Trump rather than Hillary racists, sexists, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic. It was an ugly, divisive politicized statement that is worse than anything I recall Trump saying.

Try this one and you don't have to look far for more
Today's Democrat Party is held hostage by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep state radicals, establishment cronies, and their fake news allies.

You're right. She, like most politicians, are as disgusting as Trump. He fits right in with the crowd.
