I teach a civics class where I point out that our democracy is not self-executing. It requires people of good faith and ethics to make it work. The President has repeatedly challenged Georgia's election results. But, despite three recounts and many investigations, the results are clear: Joe Biden won Georgia. The idea that our election was fraudulent is a lie. Our President used this lie to incite a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I ask my colleagues to act with ethics and good faith, to reject these lies, and, in this case, to support the Article of Impeachment.
