Why this GOP senator’s words from 1950 are so important today

CNN's Chris Cuomo uses the words of Sen. Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to hold a seat in the House and then the Senate, when appealing to Congress by asking both Democrats and Republicans to set aside partisan politics during the impeachment inquiry process and start thinking patriotically.

    1. @John Conforto Bush and Cheney loss over 1 million emails. Clinton didn’t have to rape any woman that’s Trump. Women made themselves available to Clinton and sought-after Clinton themselves. Everything else you said describes the Republican party to the T

    1. Well the only party proposing term limits and getting big donor money out of political elections is the Democrats. No Republican would ever touch either issue.

    1. @Jared Ferguson Whats the reason for the impeachment inquiry? Well haven’t the Dems unjustly said they would impeach Trump right from day one? They wielded the DOJ against his campaign and when that failed they’ve been obstructing his office and falsely accusing him non-stop. There was interference in the 2016 election and that’s what Trump is getting to the bottom of. The Dems pretended to care about interference until the Russian Collusion blew up in there face and now Durham, Horowitz and Barr will be exposing the Dems and the DOJ as the true colluders. The whole impeachment thing is a desperate joke. All the lame reasons the Dems come up with would never stand up in court and that’s why they won’t take a vote, they won’t go on record. If they did, then the Republican side of the house would be able to subpoena and haul people in for questioning and the Dems don’t want that. Even if it got out of the house it would never pass the senate. It’s all smoke and mirrors just like the anonymous whistle blowers. The sad part is that the country is the real loser in all of this.

    2. I voted for Donald J Trump…he won fair and square! And he’s the president now!
      And we’re are doing pretty good!

    3. Wet & wild…the president is fine. It’s you Leftist that can’t understand what the president is all about.

      President Trump is about doing he was elected to do: work for the people.

      In the meantime, the Dems in the House don’t do anything for the people. All they do is complain and persecute the president!

      That is not working for the people!

  1. I’ve never seen in my years such a messy, corrupted administration like this,its despicable disgusting disgraceful.

    1. @science wins consider yourself already with mental degradation, where is original docs to overturn those facts? oh wait it not there, now pull up your diaper and roll yourself to sleep

    2. @Alla Veles Here is your acid test.. have you ever believed a negative conspiracy theory about someone you liked or supported? I’ll answer that for you “no you haven’t” you just.live in a fantasy world where you believe anything and everything negative about those you don’t agree with! Actually I did research it and what you say is blatantly false! It first surfaced as an April fool’s prank. Barry was a family nickname for Obama and Soetoro was his Indonesian stepfather’s surname.

    3. @Alla Veles And you have been played by the actual “DEEP STATE”!!!! I do my best to remain respectful in my comments but you are a fucking idiot!

    4. El Taco H. SARCASTIC AND TASTY
      F&F started under Bush, as did Syria (due to the invasion of Iraq, the prime purpose of which was to destabilize Syria.). I agree about Libya though.

    1. Don’t look at Susan Collins. She talks out of both sides of her mouth, depending on who the audience is.

  2. “So important”!?!? The GOP doesnt care about what they said yesterday let alone what someone said 50 years ago.

    1. @Poe try If you think you can write off Democrats’ crimes by saying, “That is the past,” then you are sorely mistaken. Ask Manafort and Cohen. There is a 10 year statute of limitations and the illegal activities in question happened between 2010-2016 which is why the Democrats are squealing like stuck pigs. Obama prosecuted whistle blowers and media for doing what the law required them to do; report Obama’s illegal spying on Americans. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/08/14/if-your-name-isnt-hillary-the-hammer-for-mishandling-secrets

    2. @Robert Clawson How come you neglected to mention Repub lican crimes? I know you are being paid to be deceitful. Only Dems commit crimes. Who the fk believes that? People in N. Korea and Russia? Anyway after this impeachment which takes top priority then yes , all corruption should be investigated by both parties.

  3. You’d be lucky to find a GOP senator who even acknowledges Smith existed. She was from before the GOP got taken over by Thurmond’s Dixie exodus; they kind of stood for the polar opposite of what they do now.

    1. Waypoint
      It is a strange thing that one time political organisations do a 180 deg. turn, and behave like right wing nut jobs.

  4. “The day Richard Nixon failed to answer that subpoena is the day he was subject to impeachment because he took the power from Congress over the impeachment process… and he became the judge and jury.” — Lindsey Graham, 1998

    1. And just think he was so upset about Clinton cheating on his wife. Nothing to do with abusing power or breaking the laws both of which trump has done

    2. @Blue Moon LG didn’t forget, he’s serving a devil chump, he’s pledged his soul to do whatever that beast tells him. People don’t realize this is about an evil beast running the nation, chump is a demon straight up and Graham is scared sh*tless, they all are except some willing worshippers of that devil. This is about spiritual wickedness, evil and hate basically all things chump.

    3. @Blue Moon If that’s sarcasm ahahaha! Not funny but CHRIST is going to take care of the wicked soon, just put your trust in HIM. HE’S ALL MIGHTY AND FAR MORE POWERFUL THEN chump lil wicked a*s. The LORD will send HIS message straight to the WH doors, let them devils keep testing HIM. Pharaoh played with the LORD to and got utterly destroyed, his whole nation of Egypt, his ppl and his army. Chump is testing the wrong POWER and chump is NO god king like evangelicals would have him believe, he’s just a devil in the flesh.

  5. It’s harder for Greedy, Self-Entitled and Hate Filled Conservatives, Especially Men to Concede to Truths. Especially today when they have been more Empowered by a Slick Conman who has never faced Consequences for his Prior Evil Acts that caused many People to Suffer to this date.

  6. The democrats NEVER said or acted like the GOP now. Dont say that, its the GOP. Always the GOP! While the Clinton impeachment, the dems said: its wrong, its not presidential, but not impeachable.

  7. Politicians serve the people. They’re _public servants_ and they seem to forget this all while they get their massive salaries and benefits; all of which come from tax payer dollars.

  8. The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.
