South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a candidate for the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination, made the comment about President Donald Trump during a CNN town hall.
Pete Buttigieg said President Donald Trump “deserves impeachment,” though he stopped short of demanding that Congress act on it.
“I think he's made it pretty clear that he deserves impeachment,” Buttigieg said after CNN’s Cooper asked him for his view on impeaching Trump. “Congress is going to have to figure out how to do several things at once, but while we're making sure there's oversight and accountability, which there's got to be, we've also got to make sure we're talking about the things that most affect people in an immediate and concrete sense. The more we're talking about him—if we're only talking about him—then folks at home feel like nobody's talking about them.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, told House Democratic leaders to continue their multiple investigations into Trump during a conference call on Monday but cooled off talk of impeachment proceedings against the president.
