Mike Thompson said "Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States instigated an attack against our democracy. For months, he ginned up his supporters with lies about our election and incited them to violence. On the 6th of January, he unleashed a mob on the Capitol. The President must be held accountable for this vile attack. He knew what he was doing, and now, five people are dead. Congress will not be intimidated. America will not succumb to mob rule. The Vice President can initiate removal of a President who is unfit for office, and this President is unfit. He must be removed. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote on this resolution, and I urge a ``yes'' vote on impeachment tomorrow." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
