WASHINGTON – On Friday, the AZGOP applauded the Republican National Committee’s Executive Committee, which unanimously passed a resolution in support of President Trump and the Graham-McConnell resolution.
“Today, members of the RNC Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution of support for our president and the Graham-McConnell resolution condemning the unprecedented actions of House Democrats,” said RNC Chairwoman McDaniel in a press release. “However baseless this inquiry may be, if House Democrats are intent on pursuing their political vendetta against President Trump, he should at least be afforded the same due process as every other American. Their unwillingness to do that is further evidence that this partisan sham is nothing more than a desperate attempt to take down a president they know they can’t beat at the ballot box.”
“In unanimous fashion today, the RNC Executive Committee passed a resolution supporting President Trump and the Graham-McConnell resolution that condemns House Democrats’ secretive, illegitimate ‘impeachment inquiry.’ These closed-door proceedings deny our President the due process rightfully rendered to every American,” said AZGOP Chairman Dr. Kelli Ward in a press release. “Numerous Arizona voters reached out today to voice their strong support for the President and to condemn House Democrats for their purely partisan political attacks on our Commander-in-Chief. While the Democrats engage in this baseless witch hunt, Arizonans applaud President Trump and his unwavering commitment to deliver outstanding results for the American people.”
The resolution addresses the common complaint that Democrats are conducting the impeachment proceedings behind closed doors in order to “void” 63 million votes cast in 2016.
The resolution supports the Senate resolution offered by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, objecting to the House Democrats’ irregular and political handling of the impeachment probe.
The RNC calls on Democrats to “provide President Trump, like every other American, with due process, to include the ability to confront his accusers, call witnesses on his behalf, and have a basic understanding of the accusations against him that would form any basis for impeachment.”
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE GRAHAM-MCCONNELL RESOLUTION DEMANDING HOUSE DEMOCRATS PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS IN THEIR IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATION
WHEREAS, Democrats in the House of Representatives have launched a nakedly partisan impeachment investigation of President Donald J. Trump in secret and without affording a sitting President any due process protections;
WHEREAS, in an unprecedented maneuver, House Democrats have launched recklessly into this unfair, unprecedented, and undemocratic process without holding any vote;
WHEREAS, House Democrats have shut out Republican members of the House from being able to participate meaningfully in the proceedings such as by granting equal subpoena power to minority members of the Judiciary Committee;
WHEREAS, House Democrats’ partisan motives are evidenced by their selective leaking of information from the closed impeachment proceedings;
WHEREAS, House Democrats, who from the time of the President’s election have stated their desire to impeach, are trying to void 63,000,000 votes and do through this impeachment fiasco what they cannot achieve at the ballot box; and
WHEREAS, in under three years in office President Trump has amassed an unprecedented number of accomplishments strengthening the United States both at home and abroad; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee (RNC) now more than ever wholeheartedly supports President Trump and his administration in making America great again;
RESOLVED, that the RNC condemns House Democrats’ impeachment circus;
RESOLVED, that the RNC wholeheartedly supports both the President in his impeachment defense and congressional Republicans’ efforts to ensure fairness and due process in the face of the Democrats’ ruthless impeachment investigation, including Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham’s resolution;
RESOLVED, that the RNC calls on the House of Representatives to provide President Trump, like every other American, with due process, to include the ability to confront his accusers, call witnesses on his behalf, and have a basic understanding of the accusations against him that would form any basis for impeachment; and finally be it
RESOLVED, that the RNC calls on the House of Representatives to provide members of the minority with the ability to participate fully in all proceedings and have equal authority to issue subpoenas and other compulsory process.
