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.

Waste, the polls no longer work. Just make his life miserable.
This idiot is waging that evil will win, Biden will be inaugurated.
Should the opposite occur, this guy will be in deep kimchee.
BOTH parties have been doing that for 30 years!
Biden stole the election. Trump voters were "disenfranchised". Trump didn't incite the riot, and Katko's "misinformation" will cause "division".
It’s not a warning. It’s a declaration that this cretin suffers from a crainial/rectal inversion.
It was 2 upstate Republicans that ensured the passage NY’s gay marriage law.
The GOPeahens have quite the club. Do they drink Shirley Temples and Chablis?
What a traitor!!!!!!
I repent of voting for him in the past.
We received an email from our US Representative. He is supposedly a conservative Republican, but it was such a whiny account of the protest that I doubt I can ever vote for him again.
I am sorry he was frightened but get some backbone!
I hate these bastards more than the worst democrat.
Eamil his wimpy ass.
I don’t get why FreeRepublic is slow to understand what is happening - the GOP is afraid of Trump and that he may run again and win again and control the party - impeaching Trump means the GOP establishment gets to control the party again. We need to get organizing and telling Senators and congressmen we oppose this to the point we will not vote Republican again ever if they do this.
We need to shed our allegiance to the Republican party if they go along with impeachment.
Make a call support the President:

Could be. Maybe even with little umbrellas.
all three of them got PAID OFF...MONEY TALKS, EVEN FOR A RICH CHENEY...
I’m done with the republican Party...and it is now time for a new PARTY...
LET’S ROLL, AMERICANS...
Yes, I will.
I’m just an old woman with bad knees, but I think I may have more gumption than some of these wusses.
I come from a time when men were brave, women were modest, and romance was alive.
If he really believes that, he’s a dumbass. Anyone who listened to the President’s words, knows he didn’t incite anything.
Another member of the GOP Country Club everyone loves.
LMAO..
THE REASON HE IS GOING TO IMPEACH...M O N E Y...his bank acct.s should be investigated....
MONEY TALKS FOR ALL POLITICIANS...
I’M FINISHED WITH ALL OF THEM..BOTH PARTIES ARE NOTHING BUT “JACKASS’S”...
