DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Donald Trump for a second time:
“This is a solemn moment in our nation’s history. Last week, our democracy was attacked. The violent insurrection at the Capitol was a brazen attempt to subvert the rule of law and overturn a free and fair election, and it was incited by none other than the president of the United States himself. Today, in a bipartisan vote, the House took action to hold him accountable. No one is above the law – not even the president. We must work to heal our nation’s wounds, restore the rule of law, and build America back better.”
