On the recordJanuary 13, 2021
I stand today in support of President Trump and against this sham impeachment proceeding with literally 1 week--7 days--remaining in his term. This is merely the culmination of a 4-year effort to overturn the will of the people and the results for the 2016 election. This is simply a political action intended to tarnish the legacy of a highly successful President who led us to an incredible economy, energy independence, reduction of taxes for millions, regulatory relief for businesses, renewed peace in the Middle East, and stronger border security. This action will only serve to further offend the 75 million people who voted for President Trump, and further deepen the division within our Nation as we try to move forward with the peaceful transition of power. However, the Democrat majority has determined he is already guilty and there is no need of a trial; and they, therefore, move forward quickly with this phony impeachment charge. Today, I join my Republican colleagues in standing against this further effort to divide our Nation.
