It had been clear to me since January 6 that Donald Trump had to be impeached. I saw no choice. I had heard all the rationalizations for voting against impeachment. I had heard members say they were looking for a reason to vote no on impeachment and instead censure him. This seemed wrong to me. When a president behaves the way Donald Trump behaved, and refuses to accept the peaceful transfer of power, he poses a risk that America cannot bear. Donald Trump had not just made a momentary mistake; he had worked for multiple months to find a way to overturn the results of a lawful election.
