Mrs. HARSHBARGER. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote against impeachment of our sitting President, Donald J. Trump.

You can tell the American people that this is a vote to impeach upon the grounds of inciting violence and insurrection, but the American people see a double standard. They see a standard applied to those on the left who commit violence, and they see a standard applied to those on the right who commit violence. The American people see this, and they understand it.

I have been here all of 1 week, and what I see instead of lawmakers who are truth-seekers, I see lawmakers who are power-seekers. That is never good--never good. What a shame. What a shame.

The American people are watching to see how their elected officials respond at this moment in history. Will you vote to mend or will you vote to further divide this country?

I am urging you to use this opportunity to be the leaders the American people are seeking for such a time as this.

God help us as a nation, and I pray that God will keep His hand upon on the greatest nation that the world has ever seen.
