WHAT REPUBLICANS SAID

“Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG! A terrible Thing. Read the Transcripts. This should never happen to another President again. Say a PRAYER!”

President Donald Trump, via Twitter

“Democrats are impeaching the president for doing what he promised: ensuring America doesn’t pour money into corrupt places. Democrats have failed to prove their case. Democrats decided to impeach before investigating and tried to find facts to support their theory. They failed.”

Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville

“When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers during that sham trial. Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than the Democrats have afforded this president in this process.”

Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga.

“Madam Speaker, this is a sad day. I believe that Democrats are tearing this country apart. They’re tearing families apart.”

Rep. Debbi Lesko, R-Ariz.

“I rise today in opposition to the Democrats’ sham process, which makes a mockery of the rules of the House and is frankly dangerous to this country. Since day one, the Democrats have made it clear that they wanted to move towards impeachment well before any of the accusations took place.”

Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Pooler

“Impeachment is a political decision. The House made a partisan political decision to impeach. I would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the Senate. I’m not impartial about this at all.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

“They hate this president (and) they think Hillary Clinton should be the president, and they want to fix that.”

Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah
