Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 17, 2019
Our Founding Fathers warned us against what is happening this week on the House floor when one political party abandons constitutional principles simply for political gain. Tomorrow's impeachment vote is shameful and sets a dangerous precedent. Without bringing forward any evidence of an impeachable offense, House Democrats have rushed this partisan vote. You cannot impeach a duly elected President simply because you don't like him. For the past few months, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have been so obsessed with impeaching President Trump that they have forgotten to do their sworn duty, and that is to work on behalf of the American people. While I am glad we are finally voting on the United States-Mexico- Canada Agreement this week, the vital trade deal was used by Democrats as a political pawn until after they brought forward their sham Articles of Impeachment. Americans must question the timing of the votes this week: a rushed impeachment vote, and a much-delayed trade deal. So, when the American people ask me back home, ``What in the world is going on in Washington?'' I say, ``It is just putting politics before the American people.'' ____________________
