Judging by the breathless coverage in the mainstream media, Americans are all but storming Capitol Hill to demand that their elected representatives impeach President Trump.

But that is not the case, apparently.




A website called ImpeachmentAugust.org said there would be an impeachment rally on Monday at 11 a.m. on the House side of the Capitol.

No one showed up, Breitbart News reports.

Not. One. Person.

Maybe because it’s September and not August? Who knows.

The website says “Donald Trump has broken the law, abused presidential power, and stoked hatred in our country. … If the average person did this, they’d be in jail. It’s past time for Congress to do their jobs and begin a formal impeachment inquiry. But the reality is, unless their constituents show up this August during the congressional recess, they won’t act.”

So the site — supported by a slew of liberal organizations, including MoveOn, Need to Impeach, Indivisible, Stand Up America, March of Truth, By the People, Common Cause, Free Speech for People, Democracy for America, Progressive Democrats of America, Credo, and Democrats.com — urged people to “Find a town hall or plan your own district office visit and ask your Representative: ‘Will you uphold your oath to support and defend the Constitution and support an impeachment inquiry into crimes committed by Donald Trump?’ ”

Now, Washington, D.C., is perhaps the optimum place for such a rally. First, it’s where Congress is (and the president just happens to live 16 blocks away). And second, 75% of the city’s residents are registered Democrats. So you’d think there’d be hundreds, nay thousands, of Trump haters gathered at the Capitol. Not so.

There was another event called for the same place just an hour later. A posting on eventbrite.com said a protest would take place at noon on Monday on the “Capitol lawn below the steps.”

No one showed up for that, either, according to Breitbart.
