It is disappointing that Republicans voted against this resolution today, consistent with their refusal to defend the Constitution & uphold their oath of office. House Democrats will continue to seek the facts on behalf of the American people regarding the POTUS's abuse of power.

Democrats have repeatedly tried to impeach the president. Newly-elected House Democrats bragged about “impeaching the m*therf*cker” before they officially assumed their positions in Congress.
It’s completely disingenous for the Democrat Party to behave as if this impeachment inquiry is anything other than an attempt to undo the 2016 election. Various left-wing pundits have also gone on television and expressed concerns that Trump will win a second term in the White House if he’s not impeached.
Words from Republican Leadership
Democrats are not the only ones with feedback on today’s impeachment resolution. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also had some choice words; throughout his commentary, McCarthy responded to Democrats who are unhappy that Republicans firmly opposed them.
