The articles of impeachment that the democrats have introduced and are debating right now accuse President Trump of questioning the results of the 2020 election which then, they claim, incited a mild protest at the Capitol last week. It should come as no surprise that democrats are equally guilty of the non-crime they are charging the President with. One of the Speaker Pelosi’s impeachment managers questioned the results of the 2016 presidential election and even objected to the Electoral College vote.
Here’s Nancy Pelosi “solemnly” and yet excitedly announcing the clowns she is tasking with once again impeaching President Trump for no particular reason:
Tonight, I have the solemn privilege of naming the Managers of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump.@RepRaskin@RepDianaDeGette@RepCicilline@JoaquinCastrotx@RepSwalwell@RepTedLieu@StaceyPlaskett@RepDean@RepJoeNegusehttps://t.co/6yMWMEnBTW

Is that Eric Swalwell on the list? Isn’t he the dumb guy who was banging Chinese spy, Fang Fang? Pelosi is really going with her “A” team here, isn’t she?
And speaking of poor choices for impeachment managers, Jamie Raskin provides some really bad optics here. Check out this tweet Raskin sent in response to the 2016 presidential election:
ICYMI: I joined @USProgressives in raising voter suppression & objecting to #ElectoralCollege votes. https://t.co/rPRjurn6IG

And in that linked article that Raskin tweeted, there were a whole slew of democrats who objected to the 2106 election results:
A number of members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus hoped to open a debate about the certification of Donald Trump’s Electoral College majority and about concerns that have arisen regarding an election in which Democrat Hillary Clinton received almost 3 million more votes than the Republican nominee.
As the Electoral College votes of the states began to be announced, with the count from Alabama, Congressman James McGovern, D-Massachusetts, asked to be recognized and calmly said: “Mr. President, I object to the certificate from the state of Alabama on the grounds that the electoral votes were not under all of the known circumstances regularly given and that the electors were not lawfully certified especially given the confirmed and illegal activities engaged [in] by the government of Russia—designed to interfere with our election—and the widespread violations of the Voting Rights Act that unlawfully suppressed thousands of votes in the state of Alabama…”
Newly elected Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, a passionate defender of civil liberties and civil rights from Seattle, rose to note how long lines and delays had made it difficult for Americans to cast ballots.
Californian Congresswoman Barbara Lee was gaveled down as she spoke of concerns about Russian hacking and the disregard of voting rights.
Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee objected to “massive voter suppression.”
Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chair Raul Grijalva, D-Arizona, raised an objection regarding “violations of the Voting Rights Act.”
Newly elected Congressman Jamie Raskin, a constitutional law professor from Maryland, rose to question the process.
And here’s some video of Raskin objecting to the Florida electors:

“I have an objection because 10 of the 29 Electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified because the violated Florida’s prohibition of dual office holders,” said Raskin.
According to the newest articles of impeachment against President Trump, questioning the results of a presidential election incites violence and is a high crime and misdemeanor. Democrats, including Raskin questioned the results of the 2016 election and there certainly was a tremendous amount of violence against Republicans in the years to follow. Obviously democrats incited this violence with their objections to the Electoral College votes, but none of them have been held accountable.
Democrats don’t even care how full of shit they come off. Everything the accuse others of, they are guilty 100 times more. Naming Raskin the lead impeachment manager proves this point perfectly.
