On the recordJanuary 15, 2020
As of today, it has been 4 weeks since House Democrats voted, in a historically partisan manner, to impeach President Donald Trump. In voting to silence the will of 63 million Americans, they made clear that they were not here to work for the American people but to carry out a personal vendetta. Even a few House Democrats realized that impeachment was not in the best interest of our country, joining Republicans to oppose this baseless crusade. But after their vote, Speaker Pelosi realized they had made a grave mistake. Their sham process and evidence-free case went against the wishes of the American people. Knowing their case was baseless, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats sat on these articles for 1 month. After originally claiming that impeachment was an urgent crisis and insisting that President Trump was a threat to national security, Democrats sat on their hands and delayed a timely trial on their own shoddy work product. But the day has finally come where they are sending their weak case over to the Senate. I look forward to the day where Congress may finally move on from this partisan impeachment process that has wasted an amazing amount of time and resources and distracted from issues that matter most to the American people. While I am disappointed that we have reached this sad point in this congressional body, I look forward to seeing a more fair and responsible hearing in the Senate. ____________________
