It started with a whistle blowers. Complain about president trumps contact with a foreign leader, perfect foam. With the President of Ukraine, like I mean perfect today, I'm announcing the House of representatives moving forward with an official. Impeachment ornate. Did you have a good thanksgiving How do you got out of the question? I will just say: ok, it's Julie Davis in the Washington beer of the near. Times so the news today is that how Speaker Nancy Policy did the thing that had long been expected, but that is a huge deal nonetheless, sadly, that with confidence and humility, with regions to our founders and her heart, full of love for America. Today I am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. She announced that Democrats will draft articles of peace

against President Trump. We will proceed in a manner worthy of our oath of office to support and defend the constitution of the United dates from all enemies, fine and domestic, so helpless. Guy, the way plus you went about announcing all this was full of symbolism in history. She calls the press to the speakers balcony and the capital there's this backdrop of american flag. When crafting the constitution. The founders feared the return of a monarchy and America. She gives this formal address, invoking the constitution and the early days of the country and having just bought a war of independence. They specifically feared the prospect of a king resident corrupted by foreign influence. She named checks all these founding father is James Madison George Mason insisted said engineering our democracy, but the latest

and what really stood out to me is what happened a couple hours later, at the very end of policies, weekly press conference. The solution we have two hundred and seventy five feels that our by partisan on National Connell's desk after she wrapped up she's walking away from the podium thank them and a reporter fer, a conservative television network, a guy named James. And asks appointed question: do you hate the president and pollution Kind of wheels around stopped in their tracks and points her finger at him and said rose? I don't hate anybody, I do not accuse The question of representative columns yesterday suggested that the democratic do this simply because they don't like the guy, so Pelosi walks back over the lectern leans into the microphone, looks at the cameras.

That is an important point. Is that powers when it comes to helping our kids, who are afraid of gun violence? I think he is cool when he doesn't deal with helping our dreamers, though of which were very, but I think, he's in denial about the constitution about the climate crisis. However, that's about the election. This is about the elect, take it up in the eleven. This is about the constitution of the United States and the fact that leads to the president's violation of his oath of office and as a catholic I resent you're using the word hate and the sentence that addresses me. I don't hate anyone I was raised in a way that is for a heart, full of love and always prayed for the president, and thus

pray for the present. I pray for the present all the time, so don't mess with me when it comes to words like that, and the reason is moment stands out for me. Is it ties together? An inescapable dichotomy about this impeachment process. First, we This stayed somber sober vibe to the whole thing, in the morning. You ve got Nancy Pelosi very form. All reading from her teleprompter announcing this historic proceeding in the impeachment and invoking the weight of history a few hours later, policies in this heated back and forth with a reporter over whether she hates President Trump Democrats have been investigating this precedent for years. They know exactly how explosive the impeachment as politically, how risk caters for them and Nancy Policy earlier in the press conference was even rattling off pulling numbers about the public support for impeachment off the top of her head. This is very much top of mine for her. As
