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.

Check his bank account! Does his face have any bruises? Any broken bones?
How about all three!

This is my congressman. He is a GOPe guy. For the last 2 elections he ran against Dan Balter, a complete moon bat. Next election, if I am still in NY, I will not be voting for him again.

In 2016, I could count the people I despised on one hand. 4 years later, there aren’t enough hands to count them.

No it is not going communist. The Dem elites are very wealthy and the only people they are going to redistribute money to are themselves. Look at what they do not at what they say. They are fascists not communists.

Isn’t impeachment supposed to be a trial, with evidence presented by both sides?

Dear John, in the USA we usually wait to hear evidence through due process before issuing a verdict.

-- This dufus deserves to hear from all of us. --

I respectfully suggest that perhaps allowing him to exercise his franchise be allowed to proceed in peace. He does not deserve fair warning.

Exactly. Better an enemy you know than a traitor!

The only high crime was what occurred after vote counting stopped at 0300 on November 4, 2020. And Trump had nothing to do with it.
Pelosi, Schumer and the rest need to hang. And they know it. That is why they are creating smoke screens as we speak.

Not the first and not the last. Journalists suck. He's taking orders from Liz Cheney.

Screw all Republicans. They are losers. They can't and do not want to get anything done when they are in power. They do not want to fight for what is right. They are all a bunch of pussy girly boys. They are fired for incompetency.

Republicans like this we don't need. We would be better off with 125 fighting Republicans (then build back) and the rest Democrats than 200 weak, ineffective Rinos breathing oxygen and taking up space.

Primary them.
