RINO Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) floated the idea of impeaching President Trump if he invades Greenland.
“I would lean that way,” he said of supporting an impeachment over Greenland. “The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.”
Bacon announced his retirement from Congress last July, and he’s eying impeachment as his final act.
Bacon also co-sponsored a bill with Democrats to curb Trump’s power and prevent a military invasion of Greenland, which Trump has not expressed plans for. Still, he has signaled that the option is on the table, likely for strategic purposes.
“I think it should be unnecessary,” Bacon told the Omaha World Herald while speaking about the legislation.
“It’s ridiculous that this has to even be done. But when the president talks about taking Greenland one way or the other way every day this last week or so and that it’s unacceptable if Greenland refuses to be part of the United States, I felt like I needed to make a statement that Republicans disagree,” the lone Republican sponsor of the bill added.
Trump has repeatedly said the island is needed for national security and to prevent Russia or China from taking over.
Trump told reporters at a news conference last month at Mar-a-Lago, while announcing a new Golden Fleet of battleships.
