I respect the House vote. I do not accept the conclusion that it produced.

And conduct that is otherwise permissible does not automatically become misconduct, simply because enough individual moments are assembled together and viewed through the darkest possible ends.

I recognize now that my understanding of those relationships may not have always matched yours.

A censure by this House carries the weight of history.
