House Democrat backs down from impeachment: 'I don't see the value of kicking him out of office' Washington Examiner, Nov 25, 2019
Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan now favors censuring President Trump after backing impeachment proceedings over allegations that he withheld military aid from Ukraine for his personal benefit.
Lawrence appeared on the Michigan radio show No BS News Hour with host Charlie LeDuff on Sunday to discuss the impeachment process in the House. Lawrence told LeDuff, to his surprise, that she does not support removing the president from office and that she would ask her caucus to censure him instead.
"We are so close to an election. I will tell you, sitting here knowing how divided this country is, I don't see the value of taking him out of office," Lawrence said. "I do see the value of putting down a marker saying his behavior is not acceptable."
She continued, "I want to censure. I want it on the record that the House of Representatives did their job and they told this president and any president coming behind him that this is unacceptable behavior and, under our Constitution, we will not allow it."
Lawrence also said she would have a "discussion with the party and with the caucus" to censure Trump instead of impeaching him.
Trump is turning this "Impeach Foety Five" investigation into an investigation that is uncovering dirt on Biden and other Democrats in Ukraine. We know that is just the tip of the iceberg. On top of that - everyone is getting weary of the constant attempts to lynch Trump. This is playing VERY badly for Dems.... I love it!
