No "kangaroo court" for impeachment!
Last night, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to impeach President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution and our democracy.
But Senator Mitch McConnell says he is "not impartial" and "working in lockstep" with the President's team.
That is not acceptable.
That is why I led the call to hold back the impeachment referral until Sen. McConnell agrees to adhere to the rules – and to do his job – by allowing a fair trial that upholds the Constitution. I am grateful to Speaker Pelosi and my House colleagues for taking up that call and holding the line on this battle for our democracy.
It's time for Senate Republicans to stop playing politics and uphold their oaths of office. It's time for Donald Trump to be held accountable.
