Washington Republican Newhouse will back impeachment ‘with a heavy heart’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleRep. Dan. Newhouse of Washington has added his name to the short list of Republicans supporting the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
He says on the House floor that the article of impeachment is flawed, but he will not use the process as an excuse to vote no.
He says, “There is no excuse for President Trump’s actions.”
Newhouse says the president took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Yet he says when there was a “domestic threat at the door of the Capitol,” the president “did nothing to stop it.”
He says he will vote for impeachment “with a heavy heart and clear resolve.”
