Rep. Williams Statement on Impeachment Inquiry Resolution

Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today released the following statement after voting against House Democrats' impeachment inquiry resolution:

"Speaker Pelosi's vote on impeachment proceedings was pure political theater by Democrats. This has never been about a fair or transparent process, and their attempt to paint it that way is disingenuous. From the very beginning, they have blocked the American public and Members of Congress from viewing evidence behind closed doors while denying the White House the right to due process. Rather than passing USMCA for our farmers and ranchers, making tax cuts permanent for our families, or paying our troops, Democrats are fixated on removing our duly elected President from office by any means necessary. The resolution we voted on today does not provide for co-equal rights and it is certainly not bipartisan. This one-sided circus is a disgrace to our democracy."
