Veronica Escobar: “Impeachment number two, didn't go through my committee, but…”

“Let me, let me tell you first, as someone who was a part of the first impeachment, I helped impeach him. I served on the House Judiciary Committee, and we went through impeachment number one. Impeachment number two, didn't go through my committee, but I obviously voted in favor of impeachment. When it got to the House, we couldn't get the number of Republicans needed to ensure that he was convicted. Had that happen happened, he could have never served another term again.” (01:36–01:44)
