Ayanna Pressley: Democrats can 'walk and chew gum' while pursuing impeachment

U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley says Democrats can “walk and chew gum” when it comes to pursuing an impeachment inquiry against President Trump while continuing to legislate on issues affecting everyday citizens.

Pressley joined MSNBC’s Joy Reid to discuss Democrats’ moves toward impeachment against the president, as well as Trump’s latest attacks on her and the other three freshmen minority congresswoman who make up the “squad.”

Trump tweeted Saturday morning, “Can you imagine if these Do Nothing Democrat Savages, people like Nadler, Schiff, AOC Plus 3, and many more, had a Republican Party who would have done to Obama what the Do Nothings are doing to me.”

The missive, targeting Pressley and U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), came after The Washington Post reported Trump’s re-election campaign was flooding Facebook with up to $1.4 million in advertisements that included “misleading messages about the ‘socialist squad.’”
