Remarks on impeachment of Donald J. Trump - Jan. 13, 2021

Madam Speaker, I teach a civics class where I point out that our democracy is not self-executing; it requires people of good faith and ethics to make it work. The President has repeatedly challenged Georgia's election results but despite three recounts and many investigations the results are clear: Joe Biden won Georgia. The idea that our election was fraudulent is a lie. Our President used this lie to incite a violent mob to attack the Capitol. I ask my colleagues to act with ethics and good faith to reject these lies and in this case to support the article of impeachment.
