U.S. Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS) delivered remarks on the Senate floor announcing his intent to acquit President Trump of both articles of impeachment in the Senate trial: “I will vote for acquittal,” said Sen. Roberts. “The prosecution did not prove President Trump committed any impeachable offense. I hope after this matter is concluded on Wednesday, the entire Congress can get back to the important work of the people.”

Roberts acknowledged the concerns about political divisiveness in remarks in the Senate on February 4, 2020. He recalled what was happening when he first arrived in the Senate. “Washington was burning,” he said.

Roberts argued what Trump’s conduct has not risen to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. The Kansas senator used his time to talk about the divisions in the country that he and many others are concerned about. He went on to say that “these are not the worst of times” and added that as a country, “we have always pulled it together.”
