Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL) issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump for incitement of insurrection:

"I voted to impeach Donald Trump because he incited a violent insurrection against Congress in an attempt to disrupt Constitutionally mandated procedures to confirm the results of a free and fair election. If this isn't an impeachable offense, then nothing is.

"He is unstable, dangerous, and unfit to be President. I urge the Senate to convict and permanently remove him from office."
