Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) described the House Democrats inquiry into impeaching President Donald Trump as \u201cSoviet-style.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey dont agree with the result with the 2016 election,\u201d Scalise said on the House floor, referring to the Democratic leadership, while saying that this notion is not enough to impeach a president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Soviet-style rules,\u201d he said, \u201cmaybe in the Soviet Union you do something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scalise brought a poster to visualize his critique of the impeachment process, showing a communist hammer-and-sickle behind the Kremlin along with text saying its been \u201c37 days of Soviet-style impeachment proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the United States of America, dont run a sham process, a tainted process,\u201d Scalise said.<\/p>\n

Before this, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) attempted to invoke the Founding Fathers of the United States constitution, saying that U.S. democracy is at stake.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis constitution is the blueprint for our republic and not a monarchy,\u201d she said, adding that thats \u201cwhat this vote is about.\u201d<\/p>\n

House Rules Chairman Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) said hes not celebrating the impeachment process.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor all the disagreements I have with President Trump, for all his policies, his tweets, and his rhetoric that I deeply disagree with, I never wanted our country to reach this point. I do not take any pleasure for the need of this resolution,\u201d he said on the floor. \u201cWe are not here in some partisan exercise. We are here because the facts compel us to be here. There is serious evidence that President Trump may have violated the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Republicans slammed how the Democrats have controlled the impeachment proceedings, saying they have been secretive and serve to benefit the majority in the House.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now have a full-fledged impeachment committee in the basement of the Capitol,\u201d Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) said. \u201cThink about that, America.\u201d<\/p>\n
