Rep. Williams Condemns Democrats’ Lack of Transparency
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today joined Republicans on the House floor to condemn Democrats for their lack of transparency during impeachment inquiry proceedings. Please click here to view the Congressman's remarks.
Remarks as prepared for delivery:
M. Speaker, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been trying to impeach President Trump since the day he took office. We all know this.
They have made it very clear they deem the President's every action to be impeachable, and since the beginning of this sham inquiry, they have shown no interest in fair or fact-based proceedings.
Impeachment is a monumental step that must be conducted with full transparency – but what we are witnessing here is a violation of due process that should concern every American.
Democrats have held meetings in secret where convenient, one-sided information can be leaked to the public, denying American citizens the right to have their elected Members of Congress present.
The dedication to using any and all resources in an attempt to remove a duly elected president is unthinkable.
The Constitution provides the House with the power of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors – not for political theater to push an agenda.
M. Speaker, the Democrats have made a mockery of Congress and our democracy throughout this process, and the American people deserve better.
In God we trust. I yield back the remainder of my time.
