Connecticut’s own, 77-year-old House Dem facing younger primary challengers seeks to impeach Donald Trump

Larson charged Trump with 'murder, war crimes and piracy' over Venezuela military intervention and naval blockade

Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., is mounting a long-shot bid to impeach President Donald Trump as he stares down a primary threat from younger challengers, who seek to thwart his bid for a 15th House term. 

Larson, 77, introduced 13 articles of impeachment against Trump on Monday, citing the president’s military intervention in Venezuela, the deployment of National Guard troops to cities across the country and his executive order to curtail birthright citizenship, among other charges.

Larson also charged Trump with "murder, war crimes and piracy" for ordering a naval blockade around Venezuela targeting U.S.-sanctioned oil tankers ahead of the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January and for launching dozens of strikes against alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean.

Larson’s impeachment push comes as the septuagenarian congressman faces a heated primary challenge from several younger candidates running on a mantle of generational change.

Certainly, this ridiculous media stunt is intended to show the Democrat Socialist crowd that, “ by golly, I can be as tough on Trump as any of the whippersnappers coming after my seat”, but there may be another explanation for this pathetic old man’s delusion that he can go as far left as the new Democrat base:

Larson, a senior member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, notably suffered a complex partial seizure while delivering a speech on the House floor in February 2025.

His own stroke appears to have vastly improved Pennsylvania’s senator John Fetterman’s thinking skills, but Larson’s been a political hack for most of his life, and the neural damage has been sustained and, by now, irreversible.
