No doubt they are going to think they took too passive of an approach and will double down on what has turned voters off. They are truly a nasty bunch.
More Americans feel the Democrats have done a bad job handling the inquiry (52%) than a good job (48%.) And more feel President Trump has done a bad job handling it (56%) than feel he has handled it well (43%.)
During an 11 p.m. segment roughly an hour before Trump’s tweet, Fox News chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel said on camera, “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi circulated a memo to Democrats tonight telling them it would be dangerous to let voters decide President Trump’s fate when it comes to the Ukraine investigation.”
But here’s what Pelosi actually wrote in the memo, which she titled, “Dear Colleague”: “The weak response to these hearings has been, ‘Let the election decide.’ That dangerous position only adds to the urgency of our action, because the President is jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.”
Emanuel did not say he was quoting Pelosi directly, but his paraphrase is distorted. Pelosi said waiting for the election is dangerous because she believes the president is “jeopardizing the integrity of the 2020 elections.” She did not say it’s “dangerous to allow voters to decide Trump’s fate.”
