WASHINGTON — Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the Senate impeachment trial:
“At a time when our country needs to come together, Democrats in Congress are rehashing the same strategy that they employed for the last four years: politically motivated overreach that will only divide us further. Make no mistake: Democrat leaders’ vendetta against President Trump has always included impeachment, with many pledging to do so even before he took office.
Not only is this impeachment trial a distraction from the important issues Americans want Congress focused on, it is unconstitutional, and I join the vast majority of Senate Republicans in opposing it.
After months of partisan delay, the Republican Party is ready to move forward with policies that will get Americans back to work, our children back in schools, vaccines distributed, and relief to those who need it the most rather than wasting time on a partisan exercise that is going to fail. As Democrats continue to sow division and obstruct, Republicans will keep fighting for the American people.”
