BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., insisted that if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not deliver articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate by the end of the week, the Senate should “take matters in our own hands.” Graham accused Pelosi of playing political games and trying to exert control over the Senate trial by keeping it from starting. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recognized on the Senate floor the chamber’s rules prevented him from doing anything until Pelosi does her part, but Graham proposed a solution that could remove what McConnell has called an “impasse” in the process. Pelosi responded to the threat. “This is completely sexist,” she began. “No male Speaker of the House has ever been forced to deliver articles of impeachment if they didn’t want to, or is scared to, like I currently am. If they keep bullying me, I just might withdraw the whole thing as if it never happened, and that will teach them to ever mess with me again! Also I think it’s sexist that I am not allowed to run the Senate as I ran the House. I am convinced that solely because I am a woman, I am being deprived of the opportunity to oversee and control the Senate, to be President Trump’s ultimate judge and jury, so that I alone could then fairly and objectively determine his fate.”
