House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) went on CNN on Friday to discuss Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, and he ended up issuing a major warning to the former president during his interview.
Clyburn Issues Warning To Trump
Clyburn said that he does not think Trump is “going to escape” without consequences over Capitol riots, warning the ex-president that “this is just the beginning.”

“You know, I watched very intently, especially on yesterday as the House managers closed their remarks. They were brilliant all week. They have allowed the American people to see exactly who and what Donald Trump is,” Clyburn said.
“This, to me, is a big contribution to the Republican Party,” he added. “I don’t see how they could possibly not take this opportunity to free themselves of the yoke that this man is around their necks.”

“And so, I don’t know that they’ll do it. I suspect that they’ll give him a mulligan as they did before, but Donald Trump knows very well the next mulligan he gets is going to have to be on the golf course because they’re waiting for him down in Fulton County, Georgia, as well as up in New York. I don’t think he’s going to escape this. This is just the beginning,” he concluded.
Democrats are currently trying to impeach Trump in the Senate for allegedly inciting the Capitol riots last month. If they succeed, Trump will not be permitted to run for office in the future.
Clyburn Discusses Conversation With Bush
Last month, Clyburn claimed that former President George W. Bush told him he’s “the savior” for endorsing Joe Biden during the Democratic presidential primaries.
“George Bush said to me today, he said, ‘You know, you’re the savior because if you had not nominated Joe Biden, we would not be having this transfer of power today,’” Clyburn said on a press call with reporters just before the inauguration.
“He said to me that Joe Biden was the only one who could have defeated the incumbent president,” Clyburn added.

"January 6th was a disgrace.
"American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.
"Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President.
"They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth — because he was angry he'd lost an election.
"Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty.
"The House accused the former President of, quote, 'incitement.' That is a specific term from the criminal law.
"Let me put that to the side for one moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago: There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.
"The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their President.
"And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated President kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

No, Rep Clyburn, this is the end. You and your party have put the country through 2 impeachments. The first was when you and your party should have been focused on the early stages of the pandemic but were too obsessed with trying to destroy Pres Trump. Now you and your party have again taken your eye off the priority of helping needy Americans recover and distribution of the vaccine but again obsessed with the politics of destruction towards Trump.
Can you and many Democrats be any more out of touch with the American people?
I know you and the democrat party will be planning some other action against Trump but at some point you have to realize that it is over, move on to the business of the country.
Does he know a yoke helps farm animals??? clearly he used the wrong word just goes to show…..

Hey Clyburn, your "beginning" had a very abrupt, powerfully quick ending. Not much to celebrate there eh, jimmy. LOL. Now go back to that Bush clan and tell them they're no longer relevant in politics. They just don't seem to understand these things. They're too infatuated with themselves and their family self love that they can't seem to identify with most of us citizens, victims of their past failed "leadership". They're has beens, at best. Failures for sure. Leaders? Absolutely not. Any yet, you, mr. clyburn fellow seem to keep all of the bushes on your mantle. Who cares what those has been's think. Maybe the global elite, their handlers. Certainly not most of us conservative and many liberals.
IMHO
TRUMP2024 KAG!

The strength of the case against Trump is such, that when Republican Senators vote to acquit him, they will also be voting to convict themselves of collusion, dereliction of a constitutional duty, and for what it is worth, a complete lack of character. By failing in a moment of historic need, they are writing their personal history, of the sort that no one should want.
Most people throughout the country benefited from Trump polices including many if not most Democrats. The country was getting safer under Trump's military and police support, especially at he borders. US finally started to stand up to China and it was working. China and Russia feared Trump. He wasn't predictable like most politicians but most importantly, he wasn't corruptible. They knew he was his own man.
Trump should have won the election on his policies alone but the establishment Dems and Reps saw him as a major threat to how Washington works- bribes, pay offs, pay to play arrangements, government grants, designed regulatory controls which benefitted key donors on and on. This is how so many politicians become millionaires. After being a politician for decades (Biden) you collect many debtors beholding to you for certain legislations. Trump was trying to weed that out of Washington, D.C.
Trump also was disgusted with the billions thrown away to organizations that did not benefit the US like the Paris Climate Accord, NATO, WHO and he was tired of US spending its money and resources to defend other countries who were content to sit back and let us do it. "America First" was born.
As a result he made many enemies. So Dems formed an alliance with news media/big tech/politicized FBI-DOJ/Socialists and rich Socialist donors/obstruction and collusion hoaxes/ unfounded impeachments and finally mail in votes. Dems all in by any means necessary. Now we have Biden. SOS – US

I think they are the ones suffering….Trump has left office and even if he did run again he could only serve 4 years…..what a joke to waste all this time and money because of 1 man…

Of course they'll keep going after Trump. He's the only one that will expose how corrupt our government really is. These politicians are all on the gravy train at the expense of our country and it's citizens

And how many times have democrats on camera said go fight or riot in the streets, or go get in their face, or I have thought about burning down the White House,or someone will have to put a bullet in Trumps head. This impeachment thing is a hoax. It’s just taking everyone’s mind off the EO’s Alzheimer Joe is signing. I would pay big money for a video of Joe after say 4:00 in the afternoon. That sundowners is something to see. That is what they need to show American.
No one that I know (ZERO) that votes democrat, voted for pedo Joe or Karmela in the primaries. They were all Bernie lovers, Bernie sold out or Bernie couldn't be controlled enough? Will we ever learn the truth to that one?

And to think they truly believe Joe Biden (the best they got) is their savior. Their is no doubt in my mind that the election was stolen and that Donald J Trump (the best president ever) is still our president. Very evil and sick people are out to destroy this county, don't be a part of it.
Trump-won……joKe…..was installed Demand one day elections counted the same day before 10pm results posted in cities and counties.. Bernie Sanders won the Primaries with the dems supporters. Trump won the primaries with the Republicans supporters. The dems violated every single election legislation changing the rules unilaterally. The CCP hacked the secretary of state computers . the election is null and void.
Why is anyone still connected to FB and Twitter!!!!

Thumbs up for the truth, thumbs down for the people that Cuomo killed. If my Mom was in that nursing home (I never allowed my mom to be in a nursing home, but for sake of making a point), Cuomo would have eaten a hot lead sundae.

Clyburn ought to be kicked out of office for his insulting behavior…..he is projecting the behavior of himself and his party onto a man they cannot outsmart, outdo or keep up with…they are guilty of all they say the President is guilty of and now this is the kind of evidence you cannot deny…..Blowhard allegation and unsubstantiated gossip is how they went about this unethical, Unconstitutional, illegal kangaroo court sham….

Hopefully Clyburn will be out of Congress if Trump is re-elected. Drain the swamp on both sides.
Left is Bullshit

What do you mean by defeating someone? Only by cheating and all the wrong things the dems did. Losing all faith in the democrats because of this. Buying votes with tax payers money for all illegals. Doing things that no person lower than a politician can do ( help others do the wrong-letting illegals cross the border into AMERICA and pay their way through life.
look, there is right brain, left brain and no brain then Democrats.
look, there is right brain, left brain and no brain then Democrats.
Trump's lawyers showed us exactly how much the democrats lie and twist everything that Trump has ever said. How some of these democrats are not in jail or stripped of their political office is just mind boggling. They constantly make rules and then break their own rules like they are" ABOVE THE LAW".
Remember what they always say "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW". This will come back to haunt them.
