Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of overseeing a “rushed” impeachment effort against President Donald Trump.
“For weeks now, Republicans have been asking Democrats to take off their impeachment blinders and let Congress legislate for the American people. We’ve argued that American families deserve better than this partisan paralysis where Democrats literally obsess over impeachment and obstruct everything else,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on Dec. 5, shortly after Pelosi announced she'd directed House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to draft articles of impeachment.
