Eshoo condemns insurrection, supports Trump s impeachment
Eshoo
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo called the mob storming the U.S. Capitol Wednesday (Jan. 6) an insurrection, backed impeaching President Donald Trump and said this was the saddest day of her life.
“It was an attempt of a coup in our country,” Eshoo said in an interview with the Town Crier. “They were incited by the President of the United States of America.”
Eshoo represents the 18th California Congressional District, which includes Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and Mountain View.
Congress was set to certify the electoral college votes Wednesday, which is typically an uncontroversial, procedural step. This time was different. With Trump continuing to refuse to accept his loss, a group of Republican senators and representatives planned to object to the certification of electors in certain states President-elect Joe Biden won.
this was an unannounced change in policy by the trump administration for people who are in this country to receive life-saving medical care. after isabel s story went public, the trump administration sent letters to isabel and other patients telling them that their cases were being reopened, but the letters did not explain what reopened means and the letters didn t explain what would happen next. joining us now by phone is democratic congressman mark desaulnier who represents the california congressional district where she lives with her family and where she s been participating in medical studies that have helped save and extend the lives of americans who suffer from the rare disease that isabel has been struggling with all of her 24 years. congressman, we are certain that isabel is not going to be deported tomorrow, but do we know anything else about what happens next? not really. we have a six-hour hearing, lawrence, as you know.

infrastructure. i was really discouraged that the president said so long as we are reading the mueller report and doing our job of oversight he s not willing to work with us on the substantive priorities and the problems facing the people of this country. i think that s really wrong. were you under pressure on this decision from one side or the other? i think there s been a lot of conversations going on amongst my colleagues and i ve certainly been part of those conversations, but i think anybody who has seen me testify excuse me, anybody who has seen me with witnesses testifying before the house financial services committee know i m not easy to push around. i like to listen. i like to learn. i like to research. i like to deliberate. ultimately this is my job to represent the constituents of the 45th district and i had to make up my own mind and that s what i did here. you re in the biggest congressional district in the congress, of course, the california congressional district
