LaMalfa Opposes Efforts to Oust President Trump Early

February 11, 2021

Using the 25th Amendment or Impeachment would divide the country further

(Washington DC)- Congressman Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) announced today that he will oppose urging the Cabinet and Vice President Pence to use the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office. Also, LaMalfa will oppose another impeachment attempt. Democrats impeachment resolution cherry picks Trump's statements, which are still far tamer than many comments made by Congressional Democrats during last summer's riots and comments they made early on in the Trump Administration when they advocated attacking members of the cabinet in public.

LaMalfa Stated: "President Trump is leaving office in eight days. Further dividing our nation by a punitive impeachment vote now won't unify the country. This effort will not achieve anything constructive, is unlikely to lead to a conviction in the Senate, and wastes everyone‘s time. It continues to jab at millions of Americans who see themselves being insulted and isolated by Democrats and their allies in big tech who took away many American's ability to connect with each other using social networking. Most glaring, there simply hasn't been an impeachable offense that has been committed by the President. Democrat happy talk about unity and healing is not achieved with show votes that inflame division.
