Kellyanne Conway raged about the “very shameful” impeachment of President Donald Trump on Monday when a reporter asked her how the president was observing Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “Well, I can tell you that the president is preparing for Davos and agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for and agreed with for many years, including unity and equality,” the White House counselor responded before pivoting to Trump’s impeachment: “And he’s not the one trying to tear the country apart through an impeachment process and a lack of substance that really is very shameful at this point.”Conway went on to criticize the two House-passed articles of impeachment against the president ― abuse of power and obstruction of Congress ― and added that she didn’t think it was “within Dr. King’s vision to have Americans dragged through a process where the president is not going to be removed from office, is not being charged with bribery, extortion, high crimes or misdemeanors.”“And I think that anybody who cares about ‘and justice for all’ on today or any day of the year will appreciate the fact that the president now will have a full-throttle defense on the facts,” she added.
