The head of the Republican National Committee on Monday dismissed the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump as “a political stunt” that only enflames a divided nation.
In a fiery commentary posted by Fox News, Ronna McDaniel derided Democrats as having “nothing else to offer” except the “one issue that unites them most — their hatred of President Trump.”
“With millions of Americans still out of work … Democrats have decided the best use of their time and taxpayer money is to try to remove President Trump from a job he no longer holds,” she wrote.
“While the eventual outcome of the Senate’s verdict is not in question, by moving ahead with impeachment, the credibility of the call for unity by President Joe Biden and the Democrats is.”
“This Senate impeachment trial is nothing more than a political stunt that flies in the face of our Constitution, common sense and any notion of furthering the common good,” she added. The trial is expected to begin Tuesday.
According to McDaniel, the Democrats are throwing away a chance to work across the aisle to help solve urgent problems Americans are facing in the coronavirus pandemic.
“They could be working with Republicans on solutions that get vaccines distributed, Americans back to work, our kids back in the classrooms, and targeted relief to those who need it most,” she wrote.
“Instead, they are opting for a score-settling exercise they know is destined to fail. In addition to being a complete waste of time, this political charade is also unconstitutional,” she wrote.
McDaniel called on President Joe Biden to look to Abraham Lincoln’s warning that “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
“Biden should heed Lincoln’s words by urging his fellow Democrats in the Senate to abandon their political game of impeachment so the People’s House can get back to doing the people’s business and we can start the work of bringing our badly divided country together,” she urged.
