Gohmert Rages: If Trump Passes DACA With No Wall, GOP Will Lose Congress And Trump Will Be Impeached

House Judiciary Committee member Louie Gohmert (R-TX) wrote a scorching op-ed on Wednesday warning that if Trump betrays his base and works with Republicans to pass a “DACA amnesty” bill without first “securing the border and building a wall where it is needed,” Republicans will get slaughtered in the 2018 midterm elections less than ten months away – with Nancy Pelosi reclaiming her seat as Speaker of the House.
Once that happens, Gohmert writes, Trump would most certainly face an impeachment attempt:
Following that devastating loss, the first order of business for new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in January 2019 in the 116th Congress will be an impeachment vote regarding President Donald J. Trump. The great hope for a return to the rule of law that was created when President Trump was elected will be gone.
Gohmert goes on to assert that Trump is working too hard to impress members of Congress – most of whom were not supportive of him even just weeks before the election – and would gladly “stab him in the back” at their first opportunity. The mere fact that Trump broke a campaign promise to compromise on DACA amnesty “no matter what legalistic or deceptive name it is given,” will be used as ammunition against the President, says Gohmert.
“No wall has been built nor is it being constructed right now on our southern border despite President Trump’s constant pushing and urging Congress to get it done, wrote Gohmert, adding “These House and Senate “leaders” have not found the time or ability to provide much more than token startup costs as they continue to talk of a coming non-amnesty amnesty.”
