NAACP supports Trump impeachment at Detroit convention

Source: MLive

America’s oldest and largest civil rights organization called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump at its annual national convention in Detroit.

Each year, the NAACP appoints delegates to vote on resolutions that set its policies and actions for the upcoming year. A resolution to call for Trump’s impeachment was unanimously supported at the 2019 convention in downtown Detroit.

The resolution passed one day after the conference hosted speeches from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has opposed starting impeachment proceedings against the president, and U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who called to “impeach the motherf****r." Delegates elected at the convention to represent NAACP members ultimately sided with Tlaib.

NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson celebrated the decision on Twitter Tuesday.

nevertheless a great move. Hopefully they will move from this to prosecution upon defeat of the orange bastard as a campaign issue. Should somehow the next election be "clean" (which honestly I have little faith it will) then the dotard will be defeated and a democratic president will be installed. Should this happen I really won't want be hear about "forgiveness", "national healing" or "unity" as an excuse not to prosecute trump for treason. The union be damned, that motherfucker must at minimum go to to jail for crimes against this country.
