As Twitchy reported earlier Thursday, Rep. Adam Schiff, taking some time out of his secret bunker, said that House Democrats “take no joy” in proceeding with the impeachment inquiry. Speaker Nancy Pelosi also wanted it known that she personally took no “glee or comfort” from the impeachment effort.
She also claimed to doubt that “anybody that you know comes to Congress … to impeach the President of the United States.”
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House vote on the impeachment resolution "is not any cause of any glee or comfort."

What? They campaigned on it in the midterms.
Is that so? Most have been vying for impeachment before his inauguration.
Here are three that claim they did come to this Congress to do just that:@RepJerryNadler @RepMaxineWaters @RepRashida
You know it, @SpeakerPelosi, I know it, everybody knows it. https://t.co/szBLaNgheB

Actually, I can think of at least 10 that came to congress specifically to impeach Trump.

She’s lying right there. So many ran on that very platform.

That was literally the freshman posse's campaigns

Unreal. Her caucus literally had members running on that issue in 2018, but okay.

Is she serious? @TheDemocrats campaign message in 2018 was "elect us so we can impeach this President"!
They think we're all stupid.

Impeachment is what they ran on in the 2018 midterms. It’s exactly what they came to Congress to do.

That’s weird cause that’s been on the agenda since before he was elected lol

Come on now Nancy, since 2016 you've been trying to impeach Trump.
— Mbora Mneecy (@MboraMneecy) October 31, 2019
Yet, Democrats started planning how they were going to impeach Trump before he even took office. With, of course, the help of their willing accomplices in the MSM. @CNN and @MSNBC at the top of the list.https://t.co/Z4tc7IMzPC

Yes, that's why they've been talking about it since day one. Give me a break.
— I Am Easy to Find (@MeyerW0lfsheim) October 31, 2019
But that’s what they’ve said they would do since the beginning.
— jonathan hall (@hardwoodshall) October 31, 2019
Really?!? The "Blue Wave" of 2018 ran on that platform! #Nadler and #FullOfSchiff got their committee assignments because they promised to do just that! Your rewriting of history is breathtaking.

Majority of the DNC got their best night sleep thinking this will actually happen.

This looks like a good place to repost Newsbusters’ supercut of impeachment talk:
The media started pushing impeachment within days of President Trump's election. pic.twitter.com/EmqGAQ8JX9
