DISSENTING VIEWS
Congressman Andy Biggs
I concur with Ranking Member Doug Collins' dissenting views and submit my additional statements for the record.
Democrats have sought to remove or delegitimize President Donald J. Trump since the day he won the 2016 presidential election. Representative Al Green (D-TX) expressed his desire to impeach the President while Barack Obama was still President. Media outlets and others stoked this fire and have kept it going for three years.
The vote Friday by the desperate Democratic majority on the House Judiciary Committee to adopt two articles of impeachment against President Trump – falsely accusing him of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress – is itself a disgraceful abuse of power.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, House Judiciary Committee Democrats approved two Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump, sending them to the House floor. The vote came after Chairman Jerry Nadler recessed the committee overnight in a show of bad faith to the Republicans and to the process – in order to hold the vote this morning in front of the cameras. Congressman Biggs voted against the articles and issued the following statement:
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - A pair of Arizona members of Congress kept up their blistering criticism of President Trump's potential impeachment Thursday during a marathon hearing on Capitol Hill.
"It just continues to amaze me how corrupt, how unfair this process has been from the start," said Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican from a conservative West Valley district.
Lesko sits on the House Judiciary Committee, which considered two articles of impeachment against Trump for abuse of power and obstructing justice.
The House Judiciary Committee, on which I serve, met Wednesday night to continue work on the baseless articles of impeachment that partisan Democrats are considering against President Trump – despite the obvious absence of any grounds for seeking his removal from office.
WASHINGTON — Arizona Republicans have emerged as some of President Donald Trump's most ardent defenders as congressional Democrats move ahead with their impeachment to oust Trump from the White House.
Leading that effort is GOP Rep. Andy Biggs, a two-term Republican from the East Valley suburbs of Phoenix who now heads the House Freedom Caucus, a group of hardline conservatives.
But he's not alone. Arizona Republican Reps. Debbie Lesko and Paul Gosar have also been some of the most outspoken critics of Democrats' investigations.
