Roe Opposes Impeachment Sham

Statement

Today, Rep. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-Tenn.) released the following statement after voting against the baseless articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump:

"Today, is a sad day in American history. Since Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have been on a crusade to stop him by any means necessary. They voted to impeach a duly-elected president based on political disagreements with no evidence any crime was ever committed. I voted against this sham impeachment.

"For two years we were told then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to interfere in our elections. After two years and millions of dollars spent on the Mueller investigation, there was no collusion. Now, Democrats are claiming the President withheld money to the Ukrainians in a "quid pro quo" or "bribery" or "abuse of power" -- whichever crime polls best -- to gather information on a potential political rival. The facts are clear. There was no quid pro quo, or crime, or abuse of power.

"House Democrats are setting a dangerous precedent that it is acceptable to impeach a duly-elected president over policy disagreements. Impeachment is a very serious matter, and Democrats rushed to impeach President Trump in the hope he will not be re-elected. House Democrats unilaterally decided to invalidate the vote of 63 million Americans. On this day, they have failed the American people and the basic foundations of our democracy."
