"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace on Friday said it is "insane" that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) has discussed impeaching President Trump for a second time, arguing that both Democrats and Republicans need to focus on problems facing the country instead of resorting to "politics of personal destruction."
The comments from Wallace come after Swalwell told CNN earlier this week that Democrats are "not going to take our options off the table" regarding future impeachment while discussing Trump's critical comments regarding the Roger Stone case, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called "an abuse of power" for allegedly attempt to influence a Justice Department matter.
"We’re not going to let [Trump] just torch this democracy because he thinks that he’s been let off once and we’re not going to do something about it," Swalwell added.
Wallace joined Fox News radio to advise against a second impeachment, saying that "the last thing" Americans want is "to go down this road again."
"When you're hearing people like Eric Swalwell say, 'Well, maybe we're going to impeach again.' Insane, just insane," Wallace told host Chris Foster on "The Fox News Rundown" on Fox News Radio.
"Both sides need to focus on actually helping people deal with the problems that they face in this country," Wallace continued. "Whether it's the economy or jobs or education or health care or foreign policy, whatever. They need to be focusing on that and not ... staying in this kind of politics of personal destruction."
Wallace also said Trump should not have weighed in on the recommended sentencing in the Stone case, which was originally set for 7-9 years. The president commented that the length of the sentence was egregious after the recommendation was made public.
