The truth is, in the 243 years of this republic, there has never been a single-party, fraudulent impeachment process like the one being used today. Our Democratic colleagues have weaponized the impeachment provision of the Constitution to nullify the votes of 63 million Americans who elected President Donald J. Trump. ...Not only is this a single-party impeachment, it's also evidence-free. [House Democrats] are trying to meet their own arbitrary, completely reckless and Machiavellian timeline to take down a president that they loathe. The real abuse of power here is on the part of House Democrats. They have feverishly pursued this impeachment 20 times faster than the impeachment investigation of Bill Clinton. They've tried to reach their predetermined political outcome, and, along the way, they've steamrolled over Constitutionally guaranteed due process, previously sacrosanct House rules and the federal rules of civil procedure. This must fail, and this is a shameful day for the country. To watch Johnson's full remarks, click here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
