I peaked on Twitter and all it was was a food fight between Democratic leadership and Ocasio-Cortez's chief of staff. Needless to say, the extremely online are furious with Pelosi already for not impeaching Trump, so she's an easy target. Ironic, really, since for years Pelosi served as the GOP's liberal bugaboo before AOC came along. Now, the Jacobin crowd sees her as.. centrist? I dunno, I can't always follow the logic.
I have said and will continue to say that it does not make any sense to impeach Trump before Columbus Day, because the point of the hearings is to drag them into the election cycle, not have them disappear into the politically apathetic's summer vacation. Until then, Pelosi remains the most adept political infighter in the Democratic caucus.
