Congresswoman Gwen Moore Votes to Impeach President Trump Congresswoman Moore released the following statement: “One week ago today, a violent mob of domestic terrorists sought to overthrow the government and subvert the will of the people in the 2020 election while our country watched in horror at what unfolded. Shamefully, Trump fermented the anger and lies that fueled the siege at the U.S. Capitol by spreading maliciously false allegations about the outcome of the elections for months, which culminated in him telling a rally in front of the White House right before the mob moved on the Capitol that they would need to “fight much harder.” He is not above responsibility for his words and actions. Nothing can bring back the people who lost their lives that day, as a result of the attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The damage has been done and we have a duty to prevent any further damage. This moment demands that we act decisively with the urgency of now. Seven days is too long for Trump to remain in power. Today, the House took action to protect our country from a President actively working to overthrow our democratic institutions. It is with a serious sense of duty to the American people that I vote in support of the impeachment of President Trump.” |
