White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said she is happy House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "sees what the rest of us see" when it comes to the possibility of impeaching President Donald Trump, and said other Democrats should "get on board" with her.
"I think it's time for other Democrats in Nancy Pelosi's party to get on board, start doing what they were elected to do, do their jobs and quit trying to focus so much on making excuses for the historic loss that they suffered in 2016," Sanders told Fox News'"Outnumbered" anchor Harris Faulkner. "Let's work with the president and solve some real problems."
The Washington Post reported Monday that Pelosi does not think House Democrats should seek impeachment proceedings against Trump because the matter is divisive, and "he's just not worth it."
However, Pelosi also commented she does not think Trump is "fit to be president."
Sanders argued Tuesday that Americans are not interested in seeing Trump be impeached.
"Nobody wants to see President Trump impeached other than Democrats in Congress who are failing, who have no other message, and that's because our country is doing better," Sanders said. "And they know that's hard for them to run against in 2020, and I think they've got a very, very hard uphill battle ahead of them."
Sanders also defended Trump's national emergency declaration for the border, saying he has a "constitutional duty" to protect the United States.
