Trump.\nAhead of the vote, Gianforte addressed lawmakers on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.\nToday, this chamber is pushing through the most partisan, baseless articles of impeachment in our history, Gianforte said. House Democrats' hyper-partisan impeachment has been a sham since day one, driven by those whose bitter rage against President Trump has blinded their better judgement. The fact is they resolved to overturn the results of the 2016 election the day President Trump won.\nDownload video of Gianforte's remarks HERE\nGianforte's full remarks follow:\nToday, this chamber is pushing through the most partisan, baseless articles of impeachment in our history.\nHouse Democrats' hyper-partisan impeachment has been a sham since day one, driven by those whose bitter rage against President Trump has blinded their better judgement. The fact is they resolved to overturn the results of the 2016 election the day President Trump won. \nEarlier this year, Speaker Pelosi said, Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there's something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don't think we should go down that path. \nNone of those standards have been met. None.\nThe committee hearings were a scripted, substance-free, made-for-tv show. They would be comedy, if impeachment weren't so serious and grave.\nWitnesses denied awareness of an impeachable offense.\nAnd because the majority has failed to make a case for impeachment, there is no bipartisanship.\nCompelling? Overwhelming? Bipartisan? Speaker Pelosi has not met her own criteria for impeachment. But here we are.\nDespite Democrats testing and tweaking their impeachment message, the American people have rejected it.\nI will vote against this partisan impeachment sham. Let's get back to the work the American people sent us here to do. \nOn this sad day of an impeachment charade, I yield back the balance of my time.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://gianforte.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/gianforte-votes-against-most-partisan-baseless-articles-impeachment-our"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8462900295853615, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
