Vice President Mike Pence said congressional Democrats abandoned reforms on gun control, health care and opioid abuse in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump.Judy Woodruff, said Democrats have chosen a"reckless pursuit of impeachment" rather than potential progress on bipartisan domestic reforms. Pence said the Trump administration was working with both Republicans and Democrats over the summer to come up with changes to gun laws and combating opioid addiction.
Pence repeatedly called on Americans as a whole to let"their voice be heard" on Capitol Hill and to encourage Democrats to give up what he lamented as a secretive impeachment inquiry. "This summer, we were talking with Republicans and Democrats about possible solutions that could go forward. Now, we'll always protect the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms of the American people, but there are things that we can do that would make the country safer," Pence said Monday evening.
"We have a crisis of opioid abuse and addiction in this country. Our administration has made historic investments in supporting local law enforcement and healthcare providers," he continued. Instead of pursuing reforms on immigration, guns and the economy, Pence added, Democrats have"gone by the boards in this reckless pursuit of impeachment."
