"One of the other purposes of impeachment in this case is to make sure that the -- that President Trump is not able to run for federal office again, that he's not able to seek the presidency," Castro said."The reason for that is that somebody who incited a riot, an attempted coup of the United States government should not be president again. So it's not just about making sure that there are consequences to his behavior.
Pelosi has declined to say when she will send impeachment article to Senate, but the Senate trial would begin the day after the article is sent. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the shortest possible impeachment trial would be 21 days.
Most Republican lawmakers response to Donald J Trump's 4 years of destruction and corruption.
Courage to do what is right. I applaud you.
However, he didn’t wait for facts before assessing blame on the President. He reacted to fear instead of facts, indicating he will never represent the people. Voting to impeach without an investigation or due process being afforded knocks him off the pedestal he climbed on.
He's got a lot more integrity, courage, than 'general' RepJackBergman. Bergman showed weakness in supporting Trump and his lies. A real leader would've stood up for truth and called him out, instead of blindly following like a coward.
Hmmmmm so why not the first IMPEACHMENT
It is clear that most Republicans don’t care about democracy or how our government works (which millions have died for!!) They do not want compromise. They want supreme power.
RepMeijer it is said to say that you are a rare example of integrity in the GOP. Seems the party majority has gone over the deep end and there is no way to bring them back. Split the GOP and rebuild with the likes of you and let the traitors regroup in the MAGA party.
WarnockWarrior Kudos to RepMeijar for Being ONE of TEN To have the courage to stand up and do the right thing against Donald Trump! If GOP runs afraid now to indict Trump, WHERE DOES IT STOP! STAND UP FOR YOUR COUNTRY! 💥💥
The Republican Party really fucked up with Trump, but I still believe they thought because he wasn’t in politics that they could control him, but he fooled they ass lol, now they regret it..I’m shocked at how they let him be a clown 🤡 they should of been impeached him
As a Republican, I deeply admire him
Thank you for voting for the right side of history. The ones who voted “no”should be ashamed. And I will remember them when they need a vote. I’m talking to you FL representatives. Especially Kat.
The U.S. Congress must impeach Harris, Waters, and Pelosi for their high crimes and misdemeanors. Inciting violence and insurrection. 'Healing' the nation requires equal application of impeachment powers. Review the evidence against them here:
Wish Congress cared about horrific violence that occurred throughout 2020. Congress & media tolerated wild animals tearing down statues, taking over police precincts & city blocks, & looting. Now you’re appalled that people did the same thing at the Capitol? CapitolRiots
Too late
Those who admitted to entering the capital through Trump will receive a commutation or pardon after Biden's inauguration
They can separate Trump from the party, adjust their ranks, and go with a constitution
This president has been 'grooming' the conservatives for 4 years sounding like Ronald Reagan. He is a fake and always has been. Now we see his true inner ideology and hate. He has demonized religion, immigrants, news media, Democrats, and anyone dissenting.
Count your blessings you're not disabled, it's been 4 years of massive disrespect from trump supporters for 2 million Americans.
Way to go, thank goodness a real leader and someone we can trust and count on
The “voting public”. Therein lies the problem. Tens of millions of people don’t trust the count of who the “voting public” is anymore. That trust cannot be restored by this guy, by Republicans, or by Democrats - unless there is trust in our election processes.
I'm Very hopeful that I'm not the Only one who's willing to Pick up the baton of FREEDOM, because FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, and we must FIGHT The CRIMINAL CHEATER DEMOCRATS for it, every day. everyone of us must fight for it. because we're fighting for our Children. and the next Gtion
After we are done at Whitehouse, we can move problem Republicans not willing to restore trust out too 🤔
Voting u out 😡
Enjoy your last term Pete
This social gap deeper and more dangerous than the San Andreas Fault, several stupid senators are unable to repair it.
I am praying for Peter Meijer's safety! 🙏🙏
He should be calling on the GOP to expel anyone who stood against the election results and did anything to help incite the insurrection. But it's good he is trying to be a voice of reason among the storm.
Thank you rep. Peter Meijer for standing up to you old farts republicans knuckleheads. You are a patriot person.
I find it ironic that trump created this whole big thing with his tweet and then was banned. yet the leader of Iran’s tweet calling for the eradication of a nation and its people is still up. Where the f*** do I live?
You have no party.
Only 10 Republicans have moral values. That should tell you everything you need to know about the GOP.
Tell him to grow a set!
Thank you Representative Meijer. Though I will never, ever (EVER) vote GOP in any future election, and that includes leaving unopposed candidates blank, this country does need honest opposing opinions from people acting in good faith.
Even though 10 GOP insurrectionist voted for impeachment, we should still call for their banning on social media and require them to go to a re-education camp.
thank you very much for your work
It’s going to take republicans a long time to undo maga
Trading had really becomes amazing for me ever since I got in contact with lisaMakT So thankful for the recommendation I got. It has changed my life and that of my family and friends here in RSA.
GFYS
We will never again trust our government
He honestly should go Independent for the sake of getting away from them.
I didn’t think there were any republicans left with a soul. This man is a unicorn. CountryOverTrump
We need people with moral values in government!
RepMeijer seems woefully unaware that he's surrounded by lawbreaking democrats operating sanctuary cities for foreign criminals & who have never put the interests of the country first.
CONSEQUENCES.... Accountability.... Lawfully supporting our democracy! Yes!
Peter Meier is an outstanding person and Republican. Common sense. I wish him well.
I see a rising star and it’s beautiful.
How ironic. Rinos
Good way to identify establishment GOP
If Trump had listened to you instead of Rudy and Powell, he would have had peace of mind
But he’s okay with Biden using his office to make money for Biden’s in China and Ukraine? The big guy says yes....
Rep. Peter Meijer You're wasting your time and breath. Please realize the Repub party is a rotting hulk. Please join with those who feel as you do. And start a new, replacement, conservative party. With the morals and ethics that made America great.
Our whole Congress doesn’t put Americans interest first.. What a joke!
Ok...it’s in the Country’s best interest to punish Treason!
Thank you Rep. Meijer. ABC News I find it rather odd that House Republicans are having to defend why they voted to impeach rather than the House Republicans having to defend why they did not, don't you?
