Arizona senator John McCain is pushing back against all the impeachment talks, because although he believes the president should be impeached for… being president, McCain is pushing back because he realizes that “there just aren’t the votes” in congress for impeachment.
“We’re not gonna impeach the president of the United States,” McCain told Phoenix radio station KFYI. “There just aren’t the votes there even if we believed that it was warranted.”
Saying that Democrats are happy with talks of impeaching the president because they’re able to raise funds off the issue, McCain implied that if Republicans win the Senate in November, then anything, even impeachment, is possible.
“I think the Democrats view [impeachment] as a good way to raise money to use against us, and I don’t want to let that happen. But I do believe the President has broken more laws by executive order — let me put it this way, I think he’s abused the executive branch in a way I don’t recall any other President doing that, by these executive orders that are just directly contrary to the law.”
