Rose says he'll vote to impeach Trump

Source: Brooklyn Daily Eagle

U.S. Rep. Max Rose, a Democrat representing a district Donald Trump won handily in 2016, announced on Friday that he will vote to impeach the president when the matter comes before the House.

Rose, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, invoked his military experience in his statement.

“Party and politics will never come before the country I bled to protect and would unquestionably do so again,” he said in his statement of support. “A president coercing a foreign government into targeting American citizens is not just another example of scorched earth politics, it serves as an invitation to the enemies of the United States to come after any citizen, so long as they disagree with the president. Embarking on an unprecedented effort to obstruct this inquiry doesn’t make the facts any less true.”
