Liberal Media Scream: Call on MSNBC for weekly Trump impeachment votes – Washington Examiner
The article discusses a call from SiriusXM host John Fugelsang on MSNBC for Democrats to introduce impeachment articles against former President Donald Trump on a weekly basis. During a segment on “The 11th Hour,” Fugelsang argued that Trump warranted impeachment almost promptly upon taking office, citing his actions during the inaugural address. He suggested that democrats shoudl regularly demonstrate their opposition to Trump to energize their base and showcase their commitment to accountability. This commentary is set against the backdrop of Trump’s previous impeachments, which did not hinder his political career. The piece notes that the media’s portrayal of Trump’s eligibility for impeachment right after his inauguration reflects ongoing partisan divisions. The article received a high criticism rating for its handling of the topic.
Liberal Media Scream: Call on MSNBC for weekly Trump impeachment votes
Have you heard this one? Democrats want to impeach President Donald Trump.
This week’s Liberal Media Scream features a SiriusXM host demanding on left-leaning MSNBC that Democrats vote to impeach Trump weekly.
“I hope some of them will start introducing impeachment articles every week,” said Tell Me Everything host John Fugelsang on MSNBC’s The 11th Hour last Friday.
“Donald Trump was eligible for impeachment one minute into his inaugural address,” he said.
“I think Democrats should start having a different guy come out every week and introduce new articles of impeachment, just to inspire people and show them that we’re doing something and let the record show for history we are fighting against this,” he added.
In his first term, Trump was impeached twice, and Democrats thought that would end his political career. Of course, it only strengthened Trump, who won office again against somebody who voted for impeachment twice, former Vice President Kamala Harris.
From Friday’s The 11th Hour With Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC, picking up as Fugelsang reacted to news CBS may make a financial settlement with Trump to end his lawsuit over misleading editing of its 60 Minutes interview with Harris, which followed an earlier financial settlement from Facebook over that platform removing him in 2021:
John Fugelsang: They’re bribes. I mean, these are bribes. You know, Donald Trump was eligible for impeachment one minute into his inaugural address for violating the emoluments clause. CBS has got a big merger coming up. This is a bribe. …
The Democrats are going to do what they did last time. They’re going to lick their wounds, slowly assemble, let Trump do some work for them, and they’re going to be talking a lot about education and healthcare. I hope some of them will start introducing impeachment articles every week.
When the GOP was trying to repeal Obamacare 70 times, we laughed at them. But what they were doing in their impoverished state was consolidating the base, fundraising, and getting their messaging across. It worked for them.
I think Democrats should start having a different guy come out every week and introduce new articles of impeachment, just to inspire people and show them that we’re doing something and let the record show for history we are fighting against this.”

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “So much for even pretending to allow President Trump to have a chance to give voters what they voted for in electing him. MSNBC thinks it’s a legitimate and credible position to contend Trump had earned impeachment less than an hour past noon on Inauguration Day — well before he had signed a single executive order. So much for reflection and serious analysis from the press corps. But it is what Democrats and so many journalists like to do given this would be the third attempt to impeach him. Will they go zero-for-three?”
