You don’t ignore crimes because someone is popular either. You look into the information and if an impeachment is necessary, go for it. Impeachment does not remove someone from office.
He’s really not helping his case by calling this a coup. If anything, it’s the final end game for Mike Pence.
What does he have to panic about? Are you suffering under the delusion there is any indication there are enough Senate votes to successfully remove him from office? If he is panicked, it’s not for any discernible reason.
Democrats fought back against McCarthy’s efforts, pushing what’s called a motion to table McCarthy’s privileged resolution. That is where the vote of record happened–a vote for the motion to table was a vote against the resolution, and vice versa. The motion to table succeeded along party lines, with 231 House Democrats voting for it and 193 House Republicans voting against it. Former Republican, now “Independent” Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, also voted with the Democrats. Five Republicans and three Democrats did not vote.
In other words, in plain English, the Democrats, by shooting down McCarthy’s resolution, have now formally all gone on the record in support of Pelosi’s impeachment inquiry–and the Republicans have now all gone on the record against it. Even more plainly, this was the vote that formally opened impeachment proceedings. They are all on the record now.
So you are suggesting we ignore a POTUS breaking the law because he’s really vindictive and black hearted and you’d rather not have your party disrupted?
