She told roughly 40 newly elected Democrat members of the 116th Congress who had just won in many districts that elected Trump President in '16 that "impeachment would not be part of the Democrat agenda". She also advised them to "not mention impeachment" in their races. Then she lied and said "any impeachment would have to be bi-partisan or it won't be pursued".
excerpt:
When the new Congress convenes in January, the focus will not be on impeaching Donald Trump, but on a policy agenda that could even include cooperation with Trump, Democrats say.
Rapprochement, not impeachment, appears to be the plan.
“I think impeachment, to use that word, is very divisive,” California’s Nancy Pelosi
excerpt
“(The voters) don’t want to hear us criticizing the president,” Pelosi said. ....to criticize the president personally is to disrespect their judgment,” Pelosi said. “So I say to my members, ‘This is about what we’re going to do.’'

excerpt:
"I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country".
So clearly she lied because Democrats have done nothing but pursue impeachment since being given a majority in the House, the support is NOT bi partisan, nor will the vote to impeach (if it ever happens)
On top of those 3 blatant lies Nancy has lied about the nature of the impeachment itself! First she said it was about a "quid pro quo" as Trump demanded Ukraine investigate his chief political rival. Then she lied and said it was about "extortion", then she lied and said it was about "abuse of power", then she lied and said it was about "obstruction of Justice & Congress". Now she claims it isn't about any of that, it's actually now about Trump helping Russia control Ukraine!
So now she claims the impeachment is over Trump aiding Putin? [eyeroll]
This woman lies. She lied about impeachment, she lied about the reason(s) for impeachment, and now she's even lying about actually impeaching! She doesn't have the votes to impeach Trump. She won't admit it. However you can tell because she hasn't even scheduled a vote to do it!
She refuses to call a whip count to show how strong support among her caucus is for it! She won't even schedule a date before the end of this Congressional session to hold full House hearings! She reads the polls. Those newly elected members are terrified of going back on their word to their constituents who don't like impeachment talk, but Nancy forced them to pledge "no impeachment" in order to get elected! Now she's trying to force them to go back on their word to remain loyal to her?
She's a liar. You folks on the Left trust her?
Why?
- Democrat's policy agenda likely to include cooperation with Trump
