“If and when the time comes for impeachment, it will have to be something that has such a crescendo in a bipartisan way,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said on CBS News on Sunday. Democrats are unlikely to pursue a path of impeachment without Republican backing, Pelosi hinted. Many of Tlaib’s colleagues have cautioned against moving too quickly toward impeachment. But Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s acting chief of staff, rejected the idea that Trump has helped coarsen the public discourse. “I don’t think anybody blames the president for the coarsening of the language,” Mulvaney told CNN on Sunday.
