Sarah Palin called for President Barack Obama’s impeachment Tuesday
over his handling of a growing immigration crisis, becoming the most
prominent right-wing US politician to make the provocative demand.
The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee wrote on conservative
website Breitbart that Obama’s “unsecured border crisis is the last
straw,” and that lawmakers should evict him from the White House, 30
months before his scheduled departure.
“It’s time to impeach,” Palin wrote, focusing on the president’s use
of executive orders to ram through legal action opposed by many
Republicans.
“President Obama’s rewarding of lawlessness, including his own, is the foundational problem here,” she added.
“It’s not going to get better, and in fact irreparable harm can be
done in this lame-duck term as he continues to make up his own laws as
he goes along.”
Palin’s remarks follow those of several far-right Republican politicians who have also demanded Obama’s exit.
