Rep. John Katko announces that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump

Rep. John Katko, who represents the Syracuse area and New York’s 24th District, announced that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump.

Katko is apparently the first Republican member of the House of Representatives to announce his support.

“To impeach a sitting president is a decision I do not take lightly,” Katko said in his statement.

He said that, as a former federal prosecutor, he approached this question by looking at the facts.

“The facts are this: last week, the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a mob intent on disrupting a Joint Session of Congress and preventing certification of the Electoral College results. Consequently, the U.S. Capitol Police were overrun… For the staff and police officers who were in the Capitol that day, this event will forever haunt them,” Katko said in his statement.

He said that he would vote to impeach Trump for inciting the attack on the Capitol.

He is in a toss up district and primaring him would just turn the seat blue. He is probably just overreacting. The Dems are clearly over playing their hand so really they are just playing into our hand.

If your impeaching the Republican president for simply fighting election fraud why wouldn’t you vote Democrat?

Yes a mob went into the Capitol.

No the president didn’t “incite” them to.

Also these people conflate going into the Capitol (illegal) with opposing certain electors (legal).

It was in fact the perfectly legal traditional challenge to electors that the Congress was performing at the time they were interrupted by the mob.

I doubt most of the GOPE know or care.

Anyone voting to impeach him should be primaried. You don’t know that his opponent will lose in the general election.

By the time two years is up the country and the vote is going to be under full communist control. Elections won’t matter.

$700 billion a year in defense spending, and the U.S. Capitol gets overrun by Viking Horn Guy, Lectern Guy, and Pelosi's Visitor.

You can't make this sh!t up.

These nitwits in Congress are humiliated because the "rioters" at the Capitol didn't have to try very hard at all ... and didn't even hide their identities as they conquered Olympus.

Pathetic.
