Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) told NBC’s Chuck Todd on ‘Meet the Press’ that “Democrats had a bad week,” referring to the House Intelligence Committee’s marathon of public witness-questioning in an impeachment inquiry about President Trump.
He told Todd that Washington pundits are in a bubble about impeachment and used recent polling data to support his conclusion.
The Washington pundits have the impeachment issue all wrong. Democrats had a really bad week last week because American voters see this for the partisan hoax it is. pic.twitter.com/pgXfYMmSNi

Wicker says he believes the American people see the effort by Democrats to remove the president as an unfair process.

Wicker also pushed back on the notion that there was untoward pressure on the Ukrainian president applied by the Trump administration.
.@SenatorWicker says that there was “no direct evidence of pressure on the Ukrainian government to do a certain act” in order to receive military aid from the U.S. #MTP #IfItsSunday

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-California) also seems to be in a bubble. He claimed that support for impeachment has “increased dramatically,” despite polls showing Americans going the opposite direction.
Oh BULLSCHIFF! Adam Schiff gets fact-SLAMMED for claiming public support for impeachment has ‘increased dramatically’ https://t.co/SbAKu3iJwB

‘Proceed with caution’ is not a maxim currently being used by Democrats.
