Joyce Statement on Impeachment

Congressman John Joyce, M.D. (PA-13) released the following statement after voting against the Articles of Impeachment.

"The path to today's vote on the Articles of Impeachment began on November 8, 2016. Since he was elected, Democrats have sought to sabotage President Trump, to obstruct his work to serve the American people, and ultimately, to remove him from the office to which he was democratically-elected.

"On this dark day for our nation, House Democrats impeached President Trump not for a crime, but simply because they do not like him and fear that he will be re-elected next year. From the beginning, this impeachment process has not reflected American values it has not been fair, nor has it been transparent. House Democrats have deprived President Trump of due process and have defrauded the American people.

"Rather than facts, this process has revealed the depth of Democrats' disdain for President Trump and for the Americans who elected him. As the Representative for Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District, I voted against the Articles of Impeachment not only to protest this sham process, but more importantly, to protect my constituents' right to have a voice in our American democracy."
