Rep. Susie Lee Votes to Impeach Donald Trump for Inciting Attack on United States Government

Statement

The U.S. House of Representatives, including U.S. Rep. Susie Lee (NV-03) voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump for inciting an insurrection against the United States government. Rep. Lee released the following statement:

"Today, I voted to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting a violent attack against the United States government. The insurrection on January 6th was in large part due to Donald Trump's constant barrage of lies, conspiracy theories, and calls to his supporters to literally fight back against unfounded claims of election fraud. Today we took the first step to ensure he is held accountable for his actions.

"I want so desperately for our country to unify and move forward from this moment. But healing is not possible without accountability. Unity is not possible without holding those responsible for inciting direct, violent attacks on fellow Americans and on our democracy. We cannot move on together until we make clear that actions such as this can never happen again.

"We need to heal the wounds that have divided our country, especially as we recover from this unprecedented pandemic. I have no doubt we can and will come together to both protect our democracy and move forward from this moment as a stronger, more unified nation."
