The chairman of the influential Conservative Political Action Conference was stunned on Friday when his audience delivered an unexpectedly awkward response.
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” Matt Schlapp asked.
The audience cheered, applauded, and cried, “yeah!”
Schlapp quickly cut them off.
“No. That was the wrong answer,” he retorted, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
“How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” Schlapp was forced to ask again.
“No,” he quickly directed.
Things did not appear to be going as planned.
“Can someone bring some coffee out?” Schlapp asked.
“We’ve got to keep this House majority!” he then declared, apparently cognizant that impeachment of the president could be possible were Republicans to lose control.
