Reschenthaler’s Statement on President Trump’s Acquittal for Life
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Guy Reschenthaler (PA-14) released the following statement on the U.S. Senate's vote to acquit President Trump.
"Today, after months of wasting taxpayers' time and money on political theater, the U.S. Senate voted down House Democrats' partisan articles of impeachment and acquitted President Trump for life.
"Democrats argued for weeks that they had overwhelming and compelling evidence to impeach the president, only to then demand the Senate call additional witnesses. It's not the Senate's job to clean up the House's mess. This entire charade made it abundantly clear that the Democrats don't believe they can beat President Trump on the merits, so instead they launched a politically motivated impeachment without facts or evidence in an effort to overturn the will of the American people.
"While President Trump has fueled a red-hot economic boom, negotiated a trade deal with China, and stood up to Iranian aggression, Democrats have remained focused on ousting a duly elected president. It's time to put this failed political hit job behind us and get back to work for the American people."
