Billy Long Votes 'No' on Impeachment | 2019-12-18 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Republican | House | MO | Billy Long | L000576 | long.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Billy Long Votes 'No' on Impeachment Washington, December 18, 2019 Washington, D.C.Rep. Billy Long issued the following statement on impeachment: House Democrats have wanted to impeach President Trump from the moment he was sworn in. In March of this year, Speaker Pelosi said that because an impeachment would be so divisive for this country, it must have bipartisan support and there must be overwhelming evidence, yet she has ignored her own standard. This impeachment marks the first in modern history to be completely partisan, and House Democrats failed to offer the overwhelming evidence they promised. I voted no on impeaching President Trump because I believe this has been a partisan attempt to overturn the outcome of the 2016 election absent any substantial evidence, and I believe it sets a dangerous precedent of which the House of Representatives should be deeply ashamed. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
