Nancy Pelosi has instructed her caucus today not to gloat about impeaching Trump and to show unity during the impeachment debate, because they want to the American people to think they are serious and somber:

Pelosi and her staff have instructed her caucus to show unity and not to gloat at all during the proceedings, per multiple sources. She wants the public to see Democrats as taking this moment seriously and not be seen as cheering the President’s impeachment, members say — Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 18, 2019

The mere fact that Pelosi had to tell her members not to gloat and cheer over impeachment just shows everyone how unserious and joyful they really are over impeaching Trump. If they were actually somber and reflective about this, there’d be no need to give these instructions.

Here’s how people are responding to this…

This impeachment day is as predetermined and scripted as you could ever expect for the Democrats. They've been pursuing impeachment of @realDonaldTrump for three years. The American people won't buy their feigned, somber attitudes today. https://t.co/QWgC2CVKIy — Rep Andy Biggs (@RepAndyBiggsAZ) December 18, 2019







Today is so “somber” and “solemn” the Speaker needs to remind her own Caucus not to gloat… https://t.co/6Nz7MO3Lyw — Rep. Paul Gosar, DDS (@RepGosar) December 18, 2019
