Congresswoman Cori Bush Floor Speech in Support of H.Res. 24 – Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Cori Bush (MO-01) delivered remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives in support of H.Res. 24, Impeaching Donald Trump, President of the United States. Below are the Congresswoman’s remarks as delivered:
Madam Speaker —
St. Louis and I rise in support of the article of impeachment against Donald J. Trump.
If we fail to remove a white supremacist President who incited a white supremacist insurrection, it’s communities like Missouri’s First District that suffer the most.
The 117th Congress must understand that we have a mandate to legislate in defense of Black lives.
The first step in that process is to root out white supremacy, starting with impeaching the white supremacist-in-chief.
Thank you and I yield back.
