'Impeachment is so divisive to the country,' Pelosi said, adding of Trump, 'and he's just not worth it.'
In a wide-ranging question-and-answer interview with Washington Post reporter Joe Heim published Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said President Donald Trump was unfit for officer in multiple ways—but “just not worth” impeaching.
Heim asked Pelosi, the most powerful Democrat in the United States, to address increasing calls from members of the Democratic Party to impeach Trump. She responded by saying “I’m not for impeachment,” then elaborated on how her perspective had evolved. “I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” Pelosi said. “And he’s just not worth it.”
