The speaker’s words immediately caused the hashtag #ImpeachedForLife to start trending on Twitter
, including holding back sending the articles to the Senate. Pelosi had been postponing because she did not trust that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would allow a fair trial or allow witnesses to testify. She also spoke about the Democratic Caucus voting this coming week on when to send the articles to the Senate.
“We’re confident in the impeachment,” Pelosi said. “And we think there’s enough testimony to remove him from office. However, we want the American people to see the truth, and why are [Republicans] afraid of the truth?” Asked by Stephanopoulos whether she had “any second thoughts” on holding back the articles, Pelosi responded, “No, no, no. We feel that it’s a positive result in terms of additional emails and unredacted information that has come forward. [Former national security adviser] John Bolton has said that he would testify if subpoenaed by the Senate, [and] other information has come forward.”
Additionally, Pelosi did not rule out adding more articles of impeachment but said she wants first to see what the Senate does.
