Rep. Barry Moore Votes No on Impeachment

January 14, 2021

‘In their rush to impeach, Democrats have cheapened the process and proved that their calls for unity and healing are disingenuous.’

Washington, D.C.—Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) issued the following statement on House Democrats’ Articles of Impeachment:

“Impeachment was once the most meaningful and solemn action Congress could take against a sitting President, having only been used twice in the history of the United States prior to President Trump. Clearly, our predecessors understood the true gravity of impeachment.”

“Unfortunately, over the last four years, Democrats have set a dangerous precedent by using impeachment proceedings purely for political gain. Their latest attempt to remove President Trump - just days before he has pledged to leave office - is as divisive as it is unproductive. Democrats in Congress have now flippantly used this tool twice against the same President and have set an alarmingly low bar by refusing to investigate these allegations or even hold a hearing. In their rush to impeach, Democrats have cheapened the process and proved that their calls for unity and healing are disingenuous.”
