Conaway: Impeachment Should Not Be a Political Weapon

Statement

Tonight, the House of Representatives voted to approve two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump. Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11) released the following statement after voting against both articles of impeachment:

"This is a historic and somber day in the House of Representatives," said Congressman Conaway. "Unfortunately, many of my colleagues have diminished what should be a solemn and grave proceeding into an absolute political circus, simply because they don't like the man occupying the White House.

"Many Democrats have been intent on impeaching this President since the day he took office. Their actions are clearly motivated by pure hatred for President Trump. Most importantly, we have not been presented with any real evidence that proves the president is guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors,' and the Democrats' articles of impeachment notably omit any mention of an actual crime.

"We have forever weakened this body by turning impeachment into a political weapon, which will surely have negative ramifications far beyond this president. The American people see right through this charade, and are fed up."
