The unsparing anti-impeachment op-ed by the GOP’s Ken Buck betrays two core ideas: that impeachment is purely partisan and a weapon of the left and that the impeachment process shouldn’t be used against a sitting president. Buck argues that Democratic efforts to remove President Trump from office lack due process and fairness, suggesting that the Democrats have been focused on impeaching Trump since his election. He views the process as a way for Democrats to subvert the 2016 election results and prevent any positive progress made by the current administration. He also states that the impeachment efforts should not be rewarded, calling it a waste of time that would further politicize and divide the country.
