House Dems stalled impeachment vote to boost TV views

A Democrat member of the House Judiciary Committee admitted that the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), abruptly delayed a vote on impeachment articles late Thursday night to Friday morning in order to increase television viewership.

With polls showing most Americans wanting the costly and time-consuming impeachment proceedings to come to an end, Nadler extended the debasing process even further by postponing a vote that was to take place slightly before midnight on Thursday at the conclusion of the long hearing – because virtually no one was paying attention at that time.

Nadler’s postponement move infuriated Republicans – who have already accused Democrats of using their impeachment powers to wage a partisan attack against President Donald Trump – and essentially proved the merit of their allegations, which were ultimately corroborated when Rep. Ted Deutch (D. Fla.) admitted to the Democrats’ motive behind stalling the vote.
