- 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.
#CNN #News
“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
Well quoted how soon they forget
Didn't Schiff try to get some dirt on Trump after talking to a Ukraine radio station comedians claiming that they have naked pictures of Trump with bimbos at a pool party in Russia only to get played by the comedians? How is it that if Schiff can acquire dirt from a foreign country but Trump can't..how is it that Schiff is above the law?
I'm glad that Trump gave the finger to pelosi and Schiff by not cooperating with the democrat congress
@@bidenbrain9amto8pm if he did then he should be investigated. The Donald released an incomplete transcript that clearly states that he said, "we would like you to do us a favor though"..... That's worth looking into....THEN he states in a tweet..."I, in my great and unmatched wisdom" JFC! That doesn't convince you of his arrogance and mental instability? It should. SMH 🤦
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
@eiram55 judah I agree with you so how do we get trump an exorcism...
It seems She had bigger balls than ANY republican today.
MD P that’s Maine women for you (minus Susan Collins 🙄)
Wow now that statement will eliminate the partisan politics! Would the proper response be maybe she has the same size pussy as all the democrats have today.
@@Michael-yl2iq jerk
@N Gemmiti i don't think his balls are bigger, just think trump has him by his pussy. Not to insult any gender.
@N Gemmiti I think the left are bigger pussies for not just letting a man they hate go 4 years and then vote him out.
She was a REAL American Patriot Hero!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Fred Jones ❤️😍
Bad things happen when good men and women stand back and do nothing to correct a wrong.
thank you Chris for bringing this remarkable woman's words to a modern audience. Margaret Chase Smith obviously had a damn sight more balls, honour and integrity than the entire current GOP.
I've never seen in my years such a messy, corrupted administration like this,its despicable disgusting disgraceful.
Magdalis Almodovar how old are you
Magdalis Almodovar - If you think that little of the CNN administration, don’t watch their leftist propaganda... problem solved.
Elizabeth Warren says
trump is corruption in the flesh
And I agree
Ohhh! Yeah remember FAST AND THE FURIOUS OPERATION? remember Syria was good until Obama administration showed up? Remember Libya was better under Gaddafi then Obama administration again messed up Libya now is Chaos. Wooow! Zombies don't have memory better said Zombies don't have no brains
@science wins Obama who else?
Trolls are out in full force now. He calls for decency and they fill the comments with anything but.
@Donald Trump not sure what you're getting at. I suggest you crawl back under your bridge and think up a new strategy.
*like you guys dont slander people.. dems are such a hypocrites*
In the event that Donald loses the election, there will be even less decency.
@@iamdone7094 Just a reminder that not everyone that opposes Trump is a Democrat. I'm conservative, and very opposed to Trump. I know you want to see the world as black and white, Trump and Dems, us and them, but there is a lot more to politics than such a narrow mindset.
@Donald Trump ah. Now I understand. You're a 12 year old trying to insult me by insinuating I am gay.
BRAVO CHRIS!Well said,well chronicled,we can be better.
Iris Huntley
Yes we can.
SHE WILL FOREVER Remain BEAUTIFUL!!! You Can Do It AMERICA!!! ✌️🤠🇺🇸
Oh yeah, I remember reading about Margaret Chase Smith and her "Statement of Conscience" years ago - this lady was a true patriot, standing up to the tactics of Joe McCarthy and defending the American peoples' right to criticize the government and hold unpopular beliefs... We need more congresswomen like her in office now more than ever!
Wow well put.
It is comforting to know the problems we face today have been faced down before. We need to come together as a nation and ask the hard truths from our leaders.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln. "A House divided cannot Stay!!!". This is how Democracy Dies!!!!
Cannot stand.
Republicans need to remember her statement to Congress as whole ,Margaret chase Smith spoke a real statement for both parties.
Well said Douglas Barton,with citizens as well informed and inspirational as you,the US is not beyond redemption.Looking on from Europe we are totally mystified but we haven't given up on Americas force for good .
Thank you
Good old days when Republicans used to think for themselves. All we get now is GOP sheep🐑🐀
Well said. Absolutely what our leaders need to hear.
Wow. Smith was a shining example of what a politician should be. A person working for the people to make the country a better place and telling the truth despite party lines.
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.
Proud to be from Maine when there’s a woman so historically strong and trailblazing. I’m just sick to my stomach that the woman we currently have representing our state has so little spine comparatively.
those who don't know history are bound in all ways to repeat it.
Come on people let's share this video every where, this has to go viral!!!
Just listen to Trey Gowdy and Lap Dog Lindsey Graham give speeches on impeachment with Clinton and impeachment with trump. Hypocrisy at its GOP finest
Go Cuomo! one of the best real reporters there are right now.
Divide and conquer..... the romans and now Putin...
I don't think anyone commenting sees the big picture. And Putin is laughing everyday.
@@briandaniels8880 I agree!
Cris I'm old enough to remember the saying " I rather be DEAD THEN RED" This is partly what Mrs. SMITH is alluding to in that era of America when The USSR was the honest to goodness threat to our Democracy and we had to come together as a NATION WITH OUT ALLIES! THE GOP was a Ttue party at that time in our countries History! MRS.. SMITH HAD TO PULL CONGRESS TOGETHER AND IT WORKED, THANK GOD!
We are seeing what could become a kingdom if brave people do not come forward with the truth. Besides the brave whistleblowers there has to be ambassadors or congress man /women who can stand up and speak truths. Flake and others who choose to resign should have the courage to speak out ! You know yes you know!
Women of wisdom are systematically crushed/ignored/laughed-at by empty barrel men, everywhere, not just in politics. It's a long way to civilization when half the population is looked upon as mere eye-candy
Oh so now the 50's are legit? Pick a lane CNN, and Fredo.
AMEN! That is the most sensible and correct view of what made America great. It is sad to see how far down the rabbit hole our elected officials have gone. Please repeat this as often as you can!
Mr. & Mrs. Office Holder don't need to be REMINDED by these words. They are fully aware of their sentiment.
They just don't care.
Both the far-right and the far-left need to hear this speech.
wow! that just gave me chills
Margaret Chase Smith lived just down the road from me- she was an amazing woman of honor and integrity and had a true Maine spirit in her blood! The Republican Party of today could learn a few things from her.
Thank you Margaret Chase Smith
Thank you Senator Margaret Chase Smith for the strength of courage
1:09 Does anyone really think trump's loyal subjects will possess the cognitive ability to understand so many multi-syllable words?!
Think again.
In spite of all the McCarthyism, Margaret Chase Smith made folks in Maine proud to live in a red state.
Did any of you listen to what he said? Damn
Low IQ trolls out to deflect and distract from all the bull💩for their sad, demented leader. Not worth the words to bother with them. There's no reasoning with them ... they are a lost cause.
All I hear out of Fredos mouth is "blah blah blah...I am a dicksucking h0m0...blah blah blah..."
That was so profound. I can listen that over and over again Chris. So, i think i will. Great job!
Margaret Chase Smith was a class act.
Your best yet, Chris. Bravo!
So, they have to go back to the 50's in order for them to have an argument?
Just because we refuse to be beat up on don't mean we are seperated, take for instant my friend and i are differ in the political arena but she knows a liar and call him out on it. And because of that factor alone she is going to vote for a different candidate for simple reason his lies does not represent her.
I think we can honor Margaret Chase Smith without disrespecting Joseph N. Welch. Also worthy of note is the one of the six supporters of her Declaration was Wayne Morse, and Wayne Morse was one of the two Senators to vote against the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.
Actions speak volumes America
That was spoken beautifully 👏🏾👏🏾
LOL! What the hell is the country coming too?
@Donald Trump LOL! Its a pleasure to meet you El Duce.
Some Republicans in the House and Senate can't even answer a simple Constitutional question. Not even from their own constituents. My Republican Grandmother is turning over in her grave.
Doesn't CNN smear Bernie quite often? Quite hypothetical.
Country and people before Party!
2016-2020 gop strategy is keep your head in the sand
2:10 is it just me or does she really look like AOC? 😱
Yes, she kind of does. Good eye.
Spittin image!
Dandy - same smile
I learned something today.
Oh, for heaven's sake, Chris! It really makes me angry to see you get all warm and fuzzy inside about words of former politicians. In view of the very real problems your corrupt president has been causing outside of your US bubble, that's utterly inappropriate
Thanks again Chris. Well Done!
Well said! !
Thank You.
Credible news Network.
SEEKING ANSWERS FROM THE DEAD...😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Thank you.
Nicely put Chris
Ouch, he should have looked up the pronunciation of "callumny" before going on the air.
I would vote for her.
Conservative values 😂 Evangelical morals😂😜
Margaret Chase Smith my hero!!!
Mental mutes blindly following demagogues.
My new bumper sticker.
It’s not a two way argument the Republicans have just gone back shit crazy
She was talking about Democrats.
Fredo
GOP had integrity back then.
So in other words the liar depends on who's side you're on.
Your father would be so proud of you.
For sharing - In Vegas somebody just bannered Trump Tower. Can’t find it on UA-cam yet but is from a reliable source.
These are the real Republicans. Why would you think there are better versions of these people?
So is abuse of power not a crime then? 🤨🧐🤔
Hear Hear!!!!! 🌹
The media needs to stop focusing on just Trump. It's a lot of people in government not doing their Civic duty and should be cast out.
2:10.....holy shit that’s AOC!! 😱
Touche
Calumny -- the right term for trump but wrongly pronounced by Cuomo, unfortunately. Accent on first syllable, Chris.
Thank you America.
I and the rest of the world is laughing at you 😜😜
There was a time we believed in you.
But now it’s a comedy show 😂😂😂
*are
I don't know where you live but we are laughing at you for electing politicians that won't put your country first.
Democrats have always been a comedy show.
I live in Denmark.
Where people can think for them self’s
...not a funny comedy show, but sad one.
Thanks fredo!
The word “though” is quickly becoming the single most important word of the English language.
Not all of US
Looks so much like AOC at 2:11
I don't usually agree with Mr. Cuomo but he's ACTUALLY MAKING SENSE RIGHT NOW
Those people was very racist in those times.
Amen brother.
so what's changed? what does this say about the US of A?
This!
America WAS great , so sad
Why is it that all the Trump trolls are unable to frame a simple, declarative sentence?
Their translator needs an update
Unemployment is 3.5%
How many hookers did Cohen have to pay off, to get it that low - damn!
@@iro6758 why do democrats profit from the drug cartels?
Awesome Video.
@@LiftingGunsBibleTradition what did they lie about in this video ?
That Democrats are worried
Its too Late... it's over
Tick tock tick tock tick tock incoming
Liberal Democrats don't think about that put the people and country first means something
She reminds me of AOC. Anyone else see it?
NO
Nixon’s policies were further to the left than todays Democrats, so its not surprising that a female Republican from an older era would draw similarities with AOC.
FREDO and the Dems and double standards.
