IMPEACHING DONALD JOHN TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR HIGH 
                        CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                        HON. WILLIAM R. KEATING

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 13, 2021

  Mr. KEATING. Madam Speaker, opponents of this resolution cite the 
need for unity as a basis of their opposition to impeach the President. 
The key question, though, is what are we united around. Is it to 
support a President who summoned, assembled, and lit the flame of this 
attack--in the words of the Republican Minority Whip--or is it to unite 
around free and fair elections, a constitutional transfer of power, and 
our core democratic beliefs. Those members on the other side of the 
aisle joining us in supporting this resolution are true uniters. The 
way to unite--and ultimately protect--our country is to hold 
responsible the person who incited this insurrection.
