when you watch the news conference yesterday, that was used quite a bit. is that, in the end, what this becomes about, jessica? this idea that maybe nancy pelosi, as speaker of the house, can stop battling with these four women, the squad, and how she has to deal again with impeachment. jessica: she does have to deal with impeachment. but it s about harris: does this make it more of a focal point? jessica: i don t think it makes it more of a focal point. we will talk about al green. separate topics from these four women. i think it needs to be what it is about. that s a president unleashing a tirade of racist tweets against four women of color in this country, three of whom were born in america, all four citizens. president trump says this is about living in america or not, bernie sanders and kirsten gillibrand, for instance, call for the same things as these four women. they talk about abolishing i.c.e. they say the same things about the president. they call on the races and
it s time for us to impeach this president. we remain focused on holding him accountable to the laws of this land, and accountable to the american people. leadership, many of my colleagues come to take actions to impeach this lawless preside. harris: any member of the house can bring an impeachment resolution to the floor. i could keep the pressure on speaker nancy pelosi, who has so far managed to head off that effort. we are awaiting fresh remarks from the president. he s meeting with his cabinet right now. we will play out that moments-ago video for you as soon as we get it. we will get a heads up, hopefully a two-minute warning. steve? steve: as melissa was saying earlier, for many of them this is been the agenda all along. and the reason will do. they think the president was they think is illegitimate. they don t think he should be there. they can t accept the 2016 election. doesn t matter what it is, they want to get him out. they can t wait to do it democratically in 202
had five ads and as of wednesday said 15 ads. invest in my leadership, it holding the president accountable, asking for money. we don t have time to wait for the mueller investigation. harris: that s an intriguing perspective. jessica: i didn t know that about the facebook ads. nancy pelosi is in a tough spot. she has been for months about this, we seen a slight uptick in public support for impeachment. the number of democrats supporting it is still hovering around the same point. but people have to do what s best for them. if you are in a moderate constituency, which of the majority of democrats are, generally the newly-elected ones, you will be talking about this. they will keep doing it. we will see what jerry nadler does. he was in favor, he spoke to nancy pelosi, had backed off of it. melissa: it s cracked wide open and the democratic party. i think that s the plan. harris: nadler, though, might a little bit distracted right now by the delay in the mueller jessica: h
unpalatable. these four voices of a new face of the democratic party and look what you would be voting for if not me. harris: jessica coming on once i can pray to have a specific point i want to get to with you. but the strategy idea emily is bringing up a something of that i know you feel melissa: it matters very much less what people are sayin saying, especially people like us. it matters much more what people are doing. i think this whole thing has cranked up the heat by a million on nancy pelosi to impeach. that s the first thing we hear them say last night. i think that could be his strategy. i don t know that it s a good one. i don t know how that turns out, i don t know that it s a winning strategy. but it did look like the moment they came out and said that, that it was his goal. it may be too clever by half, it may backfire, that is what feels to me like is going on. harris: now i want to segue to that point of impeachment.
harris: this is other politics, that would ask a different question. whether the president would walk down i want this or not. we will set that aside. the question would be, is this a strategy that allows the democrats to crack up and split? to fight over impeachment, as they fight over what is incendiary, what is racist, what is xenophobic. as they have that because many democrats might feel they set the rules on some of that stuff. ask joe biden. emily: i think this is one more example of the continued inability to agree and to maintain a united front. thus, it s like an abscess. where it s kind of just destroying itself underneath the surface. 21% of americans support impeachment as of this sunday. that was after the tweets. i want to point out that this is strategic on the part of each individual, as well pair this is not altruistic. for example, congressmen rashida tlaib s facebook, as of tuesday,
