United States Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) issued the following statement on “Impeachment Vote,” January 13, 2021.

‘With only a week to go in the President’s term, I oppose Speaker Pelosi’s ill-advised attempt to rush an impeachment resolution through the House of Representatives.

‘All standard deliberative processes have been ignored, including a failure to hold any hearings, seriously examine evidence, or make the requisite case. The Senate cannot possibly be able to even begin considering the resolution until after the President leaves office.

‘This act will only deepen the nation’s divisions at a time of heightened turmoil.

‘America witnessed sickening violence at the US Capitol last week that we must universally condemn.

‘In wake of the mayhem, we cannot retreat to our partisan corners. In this moment, we should find ways to bridge the divide and commit to dialing back the political rhetoric.

‘It is time to focus on a peaceful transition of power, move forward as a country, and prioritize the issues important to our constituents.’
