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

Video Poster

Madam Speaker, I rise today to support impeachment. I do so with a heavy heart and a lasting and searing memory of being in this gallery, this People's House, right up there, fearing for my life – and why?

We must do something about it. I ask that we move from stopping the steal to healing. But healing requires accountability. And everyone must be accountable [unintelligible].
