On Wednesday, U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) addressed the U.S. House of Representatives to discuss his opposition to the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. \r\nI'm a Green Beret and a proud veteran  but this process does not make me proud. I've fought all over the world  from Africa to Afghanistan  and seen fairer and more transparent processes than this. Since Democrats lost the election in 2016, they've been focused on impeaching this President. Meanwhile, we have not solved the problems America entrusted us to solve, [like] immigration, healthcare [and] infrastructure. Nothing in President Trump's call rises to the levels of high crimes and misdemeanors. For that reason, I'll be voting against impeachment today.\r\nClick below to watch Rep.
