Clyburn Says GOP Will Try to Impeach Obama

· 11 Comments

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is predicting that Republicans will try to impeach President Obama so that they can “put an asterisk” next to the name of the first black president, Politico reports.

Said Clyburn: “There will be some reason found to introduce an impeachment resolution. These Republicans have decided that this president must have an asterisk by his name after he leaves office, irrespective of whether or not he gets convicted. It is their plan to introduce an impeachment resolution.”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
