Kansas Senator Jerry Moran has condemned the partisan vote to approve two articles of impeachment against President Trump by the House Judiciary Committee, saying he does not support the articles of impeachment.
He says Democrats have been trying to overturn the results of President Trump’s election and de-legitimize his presidency for three years. He believes the impeachment hearings led by House Democrats have been purely partisan and the entire process has been flawed, and, should these articles if impeachment be sent from the house, President Trump will finally have a fair trial in the Senate.
Moran says under the Constitution, the role of a senator is to act as a juror. Therefore, unless and until the House impeaches President Trump, and the Senate has concluded its review of the impeachment charges, it is inappropriate for him to say how he would vote, but he’s seen no evidence that President Trump should be removed from office.
