Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), one of a dwindling number of Democrats who did not support the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, said on Friday, Sept. 27 that she changed her mind and now backs the inquiry.
“Up to this point, I have been opposed to pursuing impeachment because it will further divide our already badly divided country. However, after looking carefully at the transcript of the conversation with Ukraine’s President, the whistleblower complaint, the Inspector General memo, and President Trump’s comments about the issue, unfortunately, I believe that if we do not proceed with the inquiry, it will set a very dangerous precedent,” Gabbard, a contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, said in a statement.
