WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) offered his reaction on the U.S. House of Representatives impeaching President Donald J. Trump tonight and how the U.S. Senate should proceed.

“This is a tragedy. Impeachment used to be an important constitutional tool used rarely, not mental therapy for distraught liberals in the House of Representatives,” said Senator Cramer. “It is unfortunate Speaker Pelosi backed herself into this corner. To preserve her gavel, she is trying to appease the far left in her caucus, and chaos has ensued.”

Senator Cramer then highlighted how the American people have already tuned out this stunt by House Democrats. Click here to download these remarks from the Senator.

“Look at the stock market. Look at the economy. We see record low unemployment numbers for every demographic and growing investor confidence thanks to trade deals secured by President Trump,” said Senator Cramer. “Everyone else has already dismissed this unfortunate situation.”

“While we in the Senate are going to be saddled with these partisan, sick articles of impeachment, I think it is important we give them a full, fair process and reach an appropriate conclusion which restores the integrity of the Congress,” said Senator Cramer. “Hopefully we will end this nonsense that we can impeach every President every time just because we do not like them. At the same time, we should get this done quickly so we can move on to other important priorities.”
