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.

Funny how these establishment ***holes never provide actual evidence of Trump inciting anything except for an entirely legitimate, legal protest. I don’t care where you live in the country, it’s time to work for any MAGA challenger against this joker in 2 years—and their will be MAGA challengers for every pro-coup traitor.
He’s done....
If we wanted a democRAT we’d have voted for one.
This POS was a prosecutor? What a fvking dumbass.
What’s happening to police in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha, and other places will will forever haunt them, but who the hell gives a shit about that, huh? I see that they included an officer who tragically committed suicide in the “death toll” for the Capitol Hill incident.
I wonder if anyone is tallying the police suicides in Portland, Seattle, and other place after being screamed at night after night “ACAB-All Cops are BASTARDS”, “What do we want? DEAD COPs - When do we want them? NOW”, “Pigs in a blanket, fry ‘em like bacon”? Should they not go into the death tools for those protests, too? Nah, these are PEACEFUL protests, fires and all.
THIS!
u no longer have a job....no more republican party
“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.”
I’ve been thinking about this lately. It seems to me they are sort of in between the communists and fascists. Like the fascists they believe in some sort of alliance and fusing of powerful corporatist interests and heavy government control over businesses and industries but mostly not outright ownership. But like the communists and unlike the fascists, the final goal is not the protection of the nation state but the elimination of the nation state. And of course both communists and fascists support extreme government control over people’s lives “for the greater good” (although that was only supposed to be temporary according to the communists).
It will be interesting to see if the Dems’ rapidly expanding socialist/communist wing will eventually turn on the more fascist corporatist government alliance of the Democrat establishment.
I would like him to show me the part of President Trump’s speech that incited the riot or encouraged the disruption.
It appeared to me that the Capitol was attacked by a rent-a-mob intent on disrupting the announced attempt to protest certification of specific state electoral vote counts based on fraud. That effort was highly successful and the top leaders of the House and Senate are suspect is orchestrating the operation.
I hope he enjoys the balance of his last term in the House.
What happens when they win their primary anyway? Vote for their Democrat challenger?
They won’t win.
I hope they video the military frog marching the bad actors out of congress.
a former federal prosecutor votes guilty before a trial..yeah what a pos.
And if he does this what difference does it make is a dem takes the seat?
The attack of a group beating and jabbing with flag poles on one of the few black Capitol Police has been shown a number of times on TV. Has anyone seen any film about the white Capitol Policeman whose head was beaten in with a fire extinguisher? Ironically, he supported President Trump politically, and now he is dead. Anyone hear anything about the Capitol Policeman who is said to have committed suicide the next day?
Be sure to put him on your “Christmas” list.
