WA Rep. Jayapal: GOP 'exemplified cowardice' in impeachment vote

With the U.S. Senate voting to acquit President Trump on a pair of impeachment charges, Washington state’s own representatives in Congress weighed in with their own reactions.

“Instead of showing courage, all but one Republican senator today exemplified cowardice,” said Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal, representing Washington’s 7th District, and serving on the House Judiciary Committee. “In putting party and politics over country and Constitution, Republicans drove a stake in the heart of our democracy.”

Those sentiments were echoed by fellow Democrat Patty Murray, one of Washington state’s two Senators to vote in favor of removing the President.

“I want every American to know my strong feeling is that we, the people, elect our presidents, they owe their office to the American people, and Americans must be their priority,” said Sen. Murray. “I am grateful to every senator who stood up for this fundamental American principle today.”
