SiriusXM podcaster and former top-rated Fox News host Megyn Kelly asked former President Donald Trump to respond to the GOP-led House’s announcement of an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden during the Thursday interview.
Trump, who was impeached twice — the first president in history to have that dishonor — by a Democrat-controlled House, did not necessarily say he supported the current effort against Biden.
“Alright, so let’s start with the impeachment news,” Kelly began during a segment. “Yesterday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that the House is going to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. I know you were supportive of it. Some people believe this could do for him with Democrats what the indictments did for you with Republicans – rally support around him. Do you think there’s any risk of that?”
“Look, he’s a horrible president. Our country is going to hell. Whether it’s impeachment or not impeachment, this man is destroying our country at the border. He’s destroying it economically. Inflation’s way up. Now, you see what happened just today? That’s up to them if they want to do impeachment or impeachment inquiry,” Trump began.
“I never had an inquiry. Nancy Pelosi, Crazy Nancy, said, ‘We’re going to impeach him.’ They didn’t do inquiries. They went out, and they voted because they had the votes. And as usual, everybody votes, you know, for the Democrats, it’s a little bit easy. They didn’t have Mitt Romneys of the world, and that’s really nice,” he added.
“But that’s going to be up to them whether or not they want to do it. I have no idea whether they will or not. We do have a lot of other things, but it’s quite important,” Trump continued. “And they did it to me. And had they not done it to me, I think, and nobody officially said this, but I think had they not done it to me, and I’m very popular, they like me, and I like them, the Republican Party, perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them.
“And this is going to happen with indictments, too. They’re fake indictments. And I think you’re going to see that as time goes by, you’re going to see Republicans, when they’re in power, doing it. And it’s a shame when that happens. I’m not in favor of that, but that’s what’s going to happen because that’s human nature,” he predicted.
“Would you do it if you became president again, turn the indictment tables on the Dems?” Kelly asked.
“Well, I would think about it differently. I would have never even thought of doing it. But now you certainly have to think about it differently. It doesn’t mean I’d do it, because I think it’s so bad for the country,” Trump said.
