A liberal feminist. May have supported Clinton before the Lewinsky scandal but came to regret it, and could have voted Nader '00. I imagine also supported Obama '08 (primary in addition to general) and Sanders '16.

Well, that all depends. What’s this person’s view on the Johnson impeachment?

Good Government Liberals and anti-establishment progressives. Not particularly uncommon I would think.

Me, in real time as to all three, although I was ambivalent about Clinton, but perjury is not chopped liver.  And one of my many character flaws is that I am not Mormon!

A Johnson-Nixon-Clinton-Trump impeachment supporter would probably be an ancestral Republican new England Yankee/"good government" type who didn't switch permanently to voting Dem until Obama.

Personally, I do think that Johnson, Nixon, Clinton, and Trump all deserved to be impeached and removed from office.

This, although I'm not quite full enough of myself to be positive I'd think so without hindsight.

My first thought is a moderate Republican Never Trumper, since support for the impeachment of Nixon and Clinton was fairly common among moderate Republicans, but I think some Democrats could also be consistently pro-impeachment. Joe Lieberman voted to acquit Clinton (and thus doesn't count), but is a high-profile example of a Democrat who was critical of Clinton's behavior. One individual who actually did support the Clinton and Trump impeachments is Paul McHale, the Democratic congressman who represented the Lehigh Valley for most of the 1990s.

Quote
“There were those who in 1998, particularly some political supporters, who could not understand that it’s essential that as a constitutional duty, the House must hold every president accountable, regardless of party affiliation,” McHale said. “As a result of my belief that that is the constitutional duty of the House, I lost some friends.”...

While he sharply rebukes Clinton’s actions that led to impeachment, McHale views President Trump’s actions as even starker, describing Clinton’s lying under oath as paling in comparison to Trump’s withholding security aid as he urged the Ukrainian leaders to conduct investigations involving Democrats.

“The president put his own political interest ahead of our country’s security,” McHale said. “It’s hard to imagine an offense that would be more egregious under the Constitution.”

David French, for example, has said that he supported the Clinton impeachment and both Trump impeachments (if I remember correctly) and frequently uses it as an example in his articles to criticize the current Right (specifically his fellow evangelicals) for prioritizing their political side over character concerns and consistency. I am guessing other people like him fall into that mold as well (socially conservative, otherwise centrist Never Trumper)
