As Pelosi Visibly Shut Down House Democrats’ Applause, Underwood’s Republican Challengers React to Her Votes
(Scalise is House Republican Whip)
After the House of Representatives passed both Articles of Impeachment with Congresswoman Lauren Underwood’s support, several of her Republican opponents responded through issuing statements and/or through social media.
Ted Gradel
“Once again Lauren Underwood has put the agenda of Nancy Pelosi and her socialist allies before the interests of the American people.
“With less than a year until the next election, Underwood continues to undermine the Democratic process with partisan impeachment.”
Jim Oberweis
“Washington politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Lauren Underwood are doing nothing but playing politics.
“We the People elect the President, not Pelosi and Underwood. Impeaching the President is nothing but partisan politics at its worst and it’s wrong.
“It has been nothing but a waste of time and a waste of our tax dollars.
“Today is a sad day for our nation’s history. While the House Impeachment Inquiry failed to come anywhere near the bar for impeaching a duly elected President – Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Lauren Underwood are doing nothing but playing politics.
“Moments ago, Nancy Pelosi and Lauren Underwood voted to send the Senate the thinnest and least thorough Presidential impeachment in history.
“We the people elect the President, not Pelosi and Underwood. Impeaching President Trump is nothing but partisan politics at its worst and it’s wrong. It has been nothing but a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.
“The time wasted by Congresswoman Underwood could have been better spent helping to protect and create jobs, cover pre-existing medical conditions, lower drug prices, solve our border security problem and help fix our failing roads and bridges.”
James Marter
“Shame on Lauren Underwood for impeaching the greatest president in our lifetime with the greatest economy in history. We will impeach you on November 3rd, 2020.
“DEMOCRATS committed TREASON!”
Catalina Lauf
This is an embarrassment to our district and our country. IL-14 deserves better. Voters will remember in November.
“Tonight, we’ve officially seen a complete mockery of our Constitution and of our country’s sacred history.
“2020 has never been more important. IL-14 it’s time to flip this Swing district back from Lauren Underwood and get President Trump re-elected.”
Sue Rezin
“Lauren Underwood is voting to impeach President Trump today.
“And she’s doing it knowing full well that her district doesn’t want her to.
“It really is that simple.
“Luckily, we’ve got a simple solution as well: defeating Lauren Underwood and taking back the 14th District in November!
“When Lauren Underwood votes to impeach today, she will be siding with Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and radical liberals over the people she promised to represent.
“Recent polling shows that independents oppose impeachment in greater and greater numbers, particularly in swing districts like Illinois’ 14th.
“Sadly, Lauren Underwood is siding with her political pals in D.C. over her constituents in Illinois, she knows what she is doing.
“And she’s doing it anyway.”
Jerry Evans
“Tonight, Lauren Underwood chose to support the impeachment sham.
“It’s clear she has to go!”
This is the takeaway:
President Trump was impeached yesterday and amid all the rapturous cheering from liberal celebrities they all seemed to miss the point – that they will help him get re-elected.
Indeed, all the gloating and social media bleating did was confirm what has been self-evident since the day Trump won the 2016 Election: that most of America’s mainstream hates him and is absolutely thrilled to see him impeached.
So, of course, are the Democrats, which was obvious when they exploded into raucous cheering in the House of Representatives as their leader Nancy Pelosi solemnly announced Trump’s fate – before she frantically silenced them like a crazed kindergarten teacher.
The truth is that she and her party have been plotting this since Trump set foot in the White House.
They couldn’t beat him at the ballot box in 2016 and fear they won’t be able to beat him at the ballot box in 2020.
So, they’ve concluded impeachment may be their only route to stop him.
Yet as I have repeatedly said, it is an act of extraordinary stupidity and self-harm.
And never was this more apparent than in the moment of its happening
Yesterday was one of the most pointless, farcical days in the history of America’s Congress.

Thank you Lauren for defending the Constitution of the United States of America!
And thank you Lord for answering my prayers!
The “impeachment” has pushed POTUS over 50% here.
The dims will laugh..

Nov 2020. She gone.
My old Humboldt Park pal Mario got a ‘one-liner’ in as a bit play thug.
So he’s my go-to ‘Above The Law’ expert, whether it be Trump or Steven Seagal.
Lauren Underwood, and others will face serious and swift action from the people on election day!
The voices of the people will be heard loud and clear.
The actions of our leaders have devastated and divided the people of our Country.
The people should never forget!
The truth is, both real parties, repub and dem, have in the modern era used divide and conquer tactics,
win or lose, no middle ground.
At some point a new idea will emerge if they continue to abuse US citizens.
Paul Revere, true.
Here’s Washington Posts response.
Reporters celebrating “Happy Impeachment” with a tweet.
Glad there is objective reporting and efficient but fair Dem trials supported by Underwood.
Can’t wait for her to push her party to finally prosecute those witches in Salem.
Dems can have them drowned before new year.
Although if any of the witches float in the boiling oil they will face obstruction charges.

FAKE nurse = FAKE impeachment.
KAG #TRUMP2020
Haters gotta hate.
Trump: Be GONE!
Lauren, you’ve done great!
Underwood – You have managed to post on every single article tis morning and have yet to say anything other than “Bumpersticker lingo for the wingnuts.” (Bump sticker is two words.)
Feeling a little adrenaline this morning after the vote yesterday.
What happens when the reality that it means nothing sets in?
Interesting fact I just learned. Trump won IL-14 in 2016 BUT Trump did NOT reach 50% in IL-14 in 2016.
More people voted for someone OTHER THAN Trump than voted for Trump.
He won 49-45.

Underwood’s vote to impeach accurately reflected will of the voters.
Thank you Congresswoman!
SHE’s TOAST!
Trump will be re-elected.
Not so sure about this rabid baby-blood thirsty, side-show Bob Socialist.
Yeah I take that back, I’m sure…SHE’s TOAST!
She’s Ghost!
