Jodey Arrington: “Today, many of my Democratic colleagues will be making history…”

On the recordDecember 18, 2019

Today, many of my Democratic colleagues will be making history, unfortunately, for supporting the first-ever completely partisan impeachment of a President of the United States. Madam Speaker, I am deeply disturbed that history will indeed be made today in this hallowed Chamber, but for all the wrong reasons: not for love of country, but hatred for a political foe; not to pursue justice, but to punish a political adversary; not to seek truth, but to seize political power. Madam Speaker, for the love of country, I urge my colleagues to oppose this disastrous political ruse.
