Today’s impeachment vote is a gravely serious moment for our country. The House of Representatives, in accordance with its constitutional duties, had no choice but to condemn the President for his brazen abuse of power and betrayal of his sworn oath 1/
The President has repeatedly flaunted the fact that he put his personal political agenda ahead of his obligations to his country and office, and in the process, threatened American national security and the security of a European ally 2/
Today is not cause for celebration. It is a sober lesson that corruption cannot and will not be tolerated in the United States 3/
But impeachment is not the result of a single action taken by the President. This offense represents only the latest in a troubling and escalating surge of violations that were enabled by unchecked power 4/
It is my hope that Senators in both parties will consider the evidence put forward in the House and take seriously their duties to represent the people who sent them to Washington 5/
Georgians deserve elected leaders with unwavering commitment to our Constitution, democratic institutions, and the sacred duties to uphold our national interests. Today’s vote sounds a national alarm that the very fabric of our republic is at risk. I hope Senator Perdue heard it.
