Angry Impeachment Is Not Just About Removing President - Its About Canceling You

House impeaches President Trump, but it's not just about removing Trump — it's about canceling you

Rumble — Impeachment is not just about removing President Trump—it’s about canceling you:

The House has just voted to once again impeach President Donald Trump, charging him with incitement of insurrection. The single article of impeachment states the President “willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol.” President Trump did nothing of the sort, but the facts do not matter to the House. At the Save America Rally on Jan. 6, President Trump explicitly urged everyone to “peacefully” protest the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as President-elect: “We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Under no standard of law do those statements constitute incitement of insurrection. They are political speech fully protected under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. This snap impeachment is not just about removing President Trump from office with just six days left in his term — it is about canceling you and the 74 million Americans who voted for him. This rush to judgement will not end in the Senate, where a trial is constitutionally prescribed — although, after Jan. 20 any case for removal will be moot — it will go on and on. If you supported President Trump, if you thought the 2020 election was not conducted honestly, either you renounce him, or you could lose your job.

Your access to banking. Your social media accounts. Subjected to political violence. It will never end. If the Senate proceeds to another divisive trial, and were to vote to convict, either before or after Jan. 20, then millions of Americans will be disenfranchised. The nation will be divided. And even the Union imperiled. Millions of Americans who supported President Trump think this means they are next. That Congress is declaring them to be enemies of the state. Are they wrong?

As House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), who was gunned down by a fanatical political opponent at the 2017 Congressional baseball practice, a victim of political violence in our country, said on the floor of the House today: “At this moment we need to be focused on toning down the rhetoric and helping heal this nation as we move towards a peaceful transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden next week… I have seen the dark evil of political violence first-hand and it needs to stop. But all of us need to be unequivocal in calling it out every single time we see it, not just when it comes from the other side of the aisle.”

Scalise quoted Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural, when President Lincoln called on the country to come together after the tumultuous Civil War that claimed 620,000 American lives: “With malice toward none with charity for all with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan — to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

America is at a dark crossroads. One path leads into an endless abyss, risks civil war and could destroy the Union and lead to tyranny.

The other path is the long and difficult road to rejoining a national dialogue, reestablishing national brotherhood and affirming that we are all Americans working together to heal our republic.

We have to find a way to come together, because the alternative is unthinkable. We will not get this moment back.

Robert Romano is the Vice President of Public Policy at Americans for Limited Government.
