In spite of the lack of evidence they gathered and the facts not being on their side, they still voted to impeach the President to pander to their fringe base. WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued the following statement after the House of Representative voted to impeach President Trump: Democrats have been trying to impeach President Trump since the moment he took office, and they have made it clear they are more interested in playing politics and further dividing our country than carrying out the business of the American people. Democrats have pushed this bitterly partisan impeachment effort instead of focusing on the issues North Carolinians actually care about like growing our economy, supporting our military, passing free and fair trade deals, and securing our border. House Democrats ran this blatantly partisan impeachment process like a kangaroo court, presuming the President was guilty and shamefully denying the President and the minority basic due process rights. In spite of the lack of evidence they gathered and the facts not being on their side, they still voted to impeach the President to pander to their fringe base. Once the Senate trial begins, President Trump will finally be treated fairly and presumed innocent until proven guilty. The Democrats' attempt to use impeachment as a weapon to settle political scores will not be allowed to become the new normal. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
