One of the most difficult and unforgiving part of being a career politician is that everything you say publically is recorded and may be used against you at a later date. If you said something in defense of an impeached Democratic president 20 years ago, those words could come back to haunt you when you are the ones running the impeachment process two decades later.

This is exactly what has happened to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY). Videos of both of these liberal leaders were unearthed this week following Pelosi’s announcement that Democrats in the House would be pursuing the impeachment of President Trump.

Both the videos offer stunning levels of hypocrisy as the two much younger Dems offer heated defenses of the president under fire at the time, Bill Clinton. They take Republicans to task for hating the president from the opposite party and for trying to undermine an election that was the will of the people. Sound familiar to anyone?

Pelosi speaks to fellow congress men and women from the floor of the House saying, “we are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton and until the Republicans free themselves of this hatred, our country will suffer.”

Nadler speaks at an outdoor rally and says, “the impeachment of a president is the undoing of an action of election.” The congressman continues reprimanding Republican House members saying, “they are telling us our votes don’t count and that the election must be set aside.”

While the level of hypocrisy from opportunistic politicians such as Pelosi and Nadler is amazing to watch, many people are rightly drawing comparisons to political fallout of the Clinton impeachment. Many consider that to have been an ill-conceived political move by Republicans and one that backfired on them in the long run. This move by the Democrats definitely seems as if it is heading down the same path.
