That’s what Congressman Jim McGovern said yesterday as the House Rules Committee met to set the terms for today’s historic debate--a debate that ended with the impeachment of Donald Trump.
Congressman McGovern asked his Republican colleagues to search their consciences, to uphold their oaths to defend the Constitution. Still, House Republicans couldn’t bring themselves to put country before partisan politics--and Republicans all over the country are following their lead. That’s why I’m asking:
This issue of impeachment is simple: it’s the difference between right and wrong. We need leaders that aren’t going to blindly defend Trump’s actions, or won’t be complicit through their silence.
Congressman McGovern and the entire Massachusetts Delegation defended our democracy today on the House floor. But they need us to keep putting in the work on the ground here in Massachusetts.
