Congressman Markwayne Mullin has filed a resolution meant to expunge former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.
“This impeachment was an unimaginable abuse of our Constitution,” Mullin said. “Democrats in Congress put politics over country and threw all democracy out the window to unseat our president. This is exactly what our Founding Fathers warned against. While we cannot undo history, we can make it right. This resolution will bring credibility back to the impeachment process and ensure this manipulation never happens again.”
Mullin points to issues surrounding President Joe Biden, the Russian invasion in Ukraine, and Trump’s “perfect phone call.” That phone call is the conversation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky which raised questions of a “quid pro quo” offer in relation to an investigation of Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
“President Trump was impeached over a sabotaged, perfect phone call,” Mullin continued. “The hearsay of witnesses completely contradicted the plain text of the transcript. Facts did not matter, and Democrats in the House impeached President Donald J. Trump, nevertheless. Now, we have Joe Biden stoking international crises with public comments surrounding the same nation. And Democrats in Congress remain predictably speechless.”
While it sends a message, Mullin’s resolution is not likely to get a hearing in this Congress with Democrats in the majority.
Someone seems a bit late to the party on this issue. It’s easy to be an after the fact sunshine patriot. The shameless pandering is nauseating. During the J6 “insurrection” one unarmed person was killed. It has been said that Mr. Mullin later hugged her killer and empathized with him that he “did what he had to do”. The event was so terrifying and dangerous that the capitol police were frightened into holding the doors open and ushering people into the Capitol. It was a very poorly planned insurrection since the only ones present with guns were police.
