APA Members of Congress Respond to Trump Acquittal
Posted On
WASHINGTON Former President Donald Trump, facing his second impeachment trial in the Senate, was acquitted Saturday on the charge of fomenting the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol.
Although a majority of senators, 57 all of the Democrats and seven Republicans voted to convict, it was 10 short of the two-thirds majority required for conviction.
Following are comments from Asian Pacific American members of Congress.
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii): “The House managers made their case. Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection and sent a murderous mob to lay siege to the U.S. Capitol. We were all there. Everyone saw and heard what happened. Sad and shameful that only seven GOP senators had the courage to do the right thing.”
