Kathy Castor: “I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. I rise today to urge the impeachment of Donald Trump because the attack…”

On the recordJanuary 13, 2021
I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. I rise today to urge the impeachment of Donald Trump because the attack on the Capitol and the Congress was the single most depraved betrayal of the U.S. Constitution ever committed by a President. The traitorous incitement of an insurrection demands not just impeachment but removal from office immediately. Violence during the transfer of power, Confederate flags, anti- Semitic paraphernalia desecrated this Capitol. Accountability must come swiftly. We must act with the same resoluteness we showed in the early morning hours after the insurrection, where we ensured the will of the voters was effectuated. Donald Trump's defilement of this Capitol will not stand. It demands impeachment now.
