A transcript of her remarks as delivered is embedded. ------------------------------------------ Congresswoman Lori Trahan Remarks as Delivered Floor Speech on Republican Impeachment Resolution December 13, 2023 Mr. Speaker, this entire charade is ridiculous. Speaker Johnson is about to send members of Congress home for the rest of the year. And instead of lowering costs for families before the holidays or protecting women’s freedom to make their own health decisions, House Republicans are taking orders from Donald Trump to force through a partisan, political impeachment with no evidence, no witnesses, and no wrongdoing on behalf of the President. Meanwhile, as we speak, Kate Cox, a pregnant woman from Texas, is being forced to flee her home as Republican leaders try to force her to carry her baby to term who was diagnosed with a terrible condition that would result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or death soon after birth. We could’ve come to the floor today to pass legislation like the Women’s Health Protection Act to protect women like Kate Cox and to prevent that kind of physical harm and trauma from being inflicted on women living under Republican abortion bans. But House Republicans choose impeachment. The American people won’t forget. I yield back. ### | 1 | 2026-04-06T14:24:52Z | 2026-04-06T15:55:17Z |
