Republican John Kasich Announces his Support for Impeachment
During his historic 2016 Presidential victory, President Trump dispatched a number of traditional Republicans on his way to the White House. Many of these contenders were very unhappy a political novice was able to beat them so thoroughly and have continued to attack the President instead of giving him support.
One of the sore loser Republicans is John Kasich, former Governor of Ohio. He was so upset about the Trump primary victory, he boycotted the Republican National Convention in 2016 even through it was hosted in his home state of Ohio. Now, he is turning against his party again and coming out for impeachment of the President.
After hearing Mulvaney's comments, I now believe that @realDonaldTrump should be impeached by the US House and face a trial in the US Senate.

This is not a decision I've made lightly, but it's clear now that a line was crossed. This is an abuse of power. Action must be taken. pic.twitter.com/5p3QGmp8YN
This is an announcement that has, unsurprisingly, been praised by the left and celebrated on networks like CNN. The “Fake News” network gave the story the full Breaking News treatment and even included a graphic when announcing the statement that said, “Just in: GOP’s Kasich: Trump deserves to be impeached.”
