A former Republican congressman who voted to impeach President Bill Clinton in 1998 told Fox News Saturday that the current claims against Donald Trump are far more damning.
Cavuto cautioned Inglis about the"wrath of the president" and there being"a lot of hell to pay" for criticizing Trump. But Inglis reiterated that Republicans need to always"speak truth to the president and his base" of support. He pondered aloud if one day the GOP will understand they"went along with something quite embarrassing."
Inglis, who helped draft the articles of impeachment against Clinton in 1998, reflected on his regrets during his tenure as a congressman from 1993 to 1999. He went on to serve again from 2005 until 2011. "In retrospect, I think it really didn't go to the heart of the operation of the United States. However, what we're dealing here with President Trump does go to the heart of American foreign policy and to the heart of the office."
