'He's just not worth it,' Pelosi said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks at an Economic Club of Washington luncheon gathering in Washington on Friday, March 8, 2019.
"All of the above. No. No. I don't think he is," she said."I mean, ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit. No, I don't think he's fit to be president of the United States." Pelosi's comments come one week after the House Judiciary Committee, the panel with jurisdiction over impeachment proceedings,affiliated with Trump's administration, campaign and businesses. Rep. Jerrold Nadler , the chairman of the committee, called the requests the first step in a larger probe into obstruction of justice and abuses of power by the president.
She echoed that bipartisan requirement in the Post interview. However, given congressional Republicans' unwillingness to push back on their leader in the Oval Office over the last two years, some Democrats disagree with Pelosi's assessment that any impeachment proceedings must have support from the GOP. House Democrats, they argue, have a job to do in holding the president accountable -- regardless of the GOP's stance on impeachment.
