In an interview with the Washington Post yesterday, Nancy Pelosi revealed a lot of her thoughts of the current political climate, including Trump's fit for office, the border wall and her time as minority (and now majority) leader.
Pelosi said that she does not support impeachment because it would be "so divisive to the country." She'd only go down that road if something turned up that's "compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan." We have discussed impeachment in class with Gingrich and Clinton; the impeachment trials backfired heavily for Republicans, and it is worth considering if Pelosi has this history in mind.
Pelosi often does not speak at length about Trump, but this interview was much different. Pelosi certainly had political motivations to speak at-length and personally about the President's poor conduct in office, especially as the 2020 election approaches.
