Allen West Doubles Down on Calls to Impeach Obama

Former U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., doubled down on his call for President Barack Obamas impeachment over the weekend as he continues to petition on the matter.

This week we've demonstrated the massive power we have when we stand together, West emailed supporters. Over 100,000 patriotic Americans have signed our petition to impeach Barack Obama.

This is our moment. We're leading a grassroots revolution to defend our Constitution and take our country back from the liberals who are destroying this great nation piece by piece, West continued. Barack Obama is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and brazenly disregarding the Constitution of the United States. I took a lifetime oath to defend this country - and that includes defending it from Barack Obama.

Despite losing to U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Fla., in 2012, West has remained politically active and has opened the door to a political comeback in 2016.
