John,

 

This week, The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump for a
second time. Every single Democrat and even some Republicans voted to impeach.

But I did not, and the reasons why are foundational to who we are as a country.

First, Impeachment further entrenches our nation's divides at a fragile time
when we should be focused on a peaceful transfer of power. With one week until
the inauguration, what our country needs most is UNITY, not more fuel thrown on
the fire.

Furthermore, House Democrats brought a snap impeachment to the House floor
with ZERO due process - no hearings, no trial & no legal defense. This is an
incredibly dangerous precedent to set for future Presidents and elected leaders.

The third and most important point, is the reasoning cited for President
Trump’s impeachment. The Democrats claim the President was responsible and
sought to intentionally cause the violence that occurred at the Capitol last
week. That’s the claim, and it is false. They claim this, even after he called
for peace and an end to the violence as well as an orderly transition.

The violence we saw at the Capitol was despicable and unAmerican — and it's
critical we launch a full investigation into the events on and leading up to
January 6th. I’ve called for a bi-partisan 9/11-style commission to get to the
bottom of what happened. I’m also introducing anti-rioting legislation at the
federal level similar to what Gov DeSantis has introduced in Florida. Make no
mistake, those personally responsible for the violence last week should and
will be prosecuted.  We must have zero tolerance for political violence no
matter what.

If Joe Biden is serious about unifying, healing, and moving the country
forward, he would have put a stop to this vendetta against the President.
Instead, the Democrats in the Senate will spend the first weeks of this term on
a trial for a President that will have already left office rather than working
on constructive solutions to the nation's problems.

We need to come together as a nation and support a peaceful transfer of power.
While the Democrats continue to divide our country, I ask that you join me in
standing for unity, praying for the future of our country, and putting
practical solutions in place to help heal these divisions.
