On 1/13/2021, during a debate on whether to impeach Trump, Newly-elected Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. blames both parties for violence in House speech: ‘Our words have consequences’ “I believe we need to hold the president accountable,” Mace said. “I hold him accountable for the events that transpired, for the attack on our Capitol last Wednesday. I also believe that we need to hold accountable every single person, even members of Congress if they contributed to the violence that transpired here.”
“Today I’m asking my colleagues to remember the words of the legendary, the great leader in this country Dr. Martin Luther King, who once said, ‘The time is always right to do what is right.’ And if we’re serious about healing the divisions in this country, Republicans and Democrats need to acknowledge this is not the first day of violence we’ve seen,” Mace said. “And we need to recognize, number one, that our words have consequences; that there is violence on both sides of the aisle,” Mace continued. “We’ve contributed to it. We need to take responsibility for our words and our actions, we need to acknowledge there’s a problem, take responsibility for it, and stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution.”

Newly-elected U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R) said, “Impeachment was once the most meaningful and solemn action Congress could take against a sitting President, having only been used twice in the history of the United States prior to President Trump. Clearly, our predecessors understood the true gravity of impeachment.”
“Unfortunately, over the last four years, Democrats have set a dangerous precedent by using impeachment proceedings purely for political gain. Their latest attempt to remove President Trump – just days before he has pledged to leave office – is as divisive as it is unproductive. Democrats in Congress have now flippantly used this tool twice against the same President and have set an alarmingly low bar by refusing to investigate these allegations or even hold a hearing. In their rush to impeach, Democrats have cheapened the process and proved that their calls for unity and healing are disingenuous.”
The House voted 232 to 197 Wednesday afternoon to impeach Trump. 10 Republicans joined 222 Democrats in voting for impeachment.
