Rep. Andre Carson: Trump betrayed America, threatened national security

[ffr]

Serving as the representative for Indiana’s 7th Congressional District remains the honor of my life, and I’ve never taken the gravity of this position for granted. Every day, I seek to address and uplift the needs, concerns and ideals of my constituents.

In our community, we believe in the Hoosier values of equality, fairness and integrity—particularly the idea that in our society, no one is above the law.

However, this president, through his words and actions, has displayed the exact opposite of this. In fact, there is mounting evidence the president violated his oath of office and his promise to the American people.

President Trump withheld military aid from Ukraine, a democratic country under siege from Russian aggression, to fulfill his personal political ambition, at the expense of our national interest. Publicly available documents, some provided by the White House, make it clear as day. This quid pro quo is not only a betrayal to the American people, it’s also a major threat to our national security. And yet, President Trump seems to be proud of his behavior, instead of being ashamed of dishonoring his office. - Indianapolis Business Journal
