Rep. Brenda Lawrence ordered back onto the Democrats' impeachment plantation
By Monica Showalter
So deep-blue, safe-seat Detroit Democrat, Rep. Brenda Lawrence, has supposedly backtracked on her call to censure instead of impeach President Trump. No peel-off, no pullback, Democrats a solid bloc for impeachment, everything hunky dory in the party.
According to the Detroit News:
Democratic U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence is walking back statements she made on a Detroit area podcast Sunday in which she seemed to be wavering on her support of President Donald Trump’s impeachment.
Republican groups, such as the National Republican Congressional Committee, had noted her remarks about censuring Trump, using them to ask why freshman Democratic Reps. Haley Stevens of Rochester Hills and Elissa Slotkin of Holly weren't similarly backing off support of possible impeachment.
Lawrence of Southfield issued a Tuesday statement noting she was an early supporter of Trump’s impeachment inquiry and found Senate Republicans behavior regarding the impeachment “unacceptable.â€
“The House Intelligence Committee followed a very thorough process in holding hearings these past two weeks,†Lawrence said. “The information they revealed confirmed that this president has abused the power of his office, therefore I continue to support impeachment.â€
The statement came a couple days after Lawrence told reporter Charlie LeDuff that lawmakers could “censure,†not “remove†the president.
