Congresswoman Miller’s Statement on House Democrats Vote to Impeach President Donald J. Trump
Washington D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) today spoke on the House Floor in opposition to House Democrats vote to impeach President Trump. Below are her remarks and official statement as prepared.
"Today is a disappointing day. It is the day my colleagues across the aisle cast the vote they have spent the past three years obsessing over. The vote to impeach our duly elected president.
There are two charges being claimed by House Democrats, and there is ZERO cause for either. While President Trump has led, our country has thrived, and Washington Liberals have failed. Despite the commitment of many of our colleagues to obstruct the Trump Administration's agenda at every turn, our country continues to succeed.
In this body, however, we have not been able to deliver on what Americans want and need. We still have not finished securing our border. The opioid epidemic still rages on in our communities. Our infrastructure is still in dire need of an overhaul and we still have not reached a bipartisan resolution on drug pricing,
If Congress hadn't spent the last year stuck in a divisive, ugly, partisan impeachment debacle, think of what we could have done. The lives that could have been saved, the communities that could have been improved, the crisis at our southern border ended, and the positive work we should do for our country. But we didn't. All because of divisive, political, theatrics.
Congress can be better than this. America deserves better."
