What Texas Reps are Tweeting about Impeachment

Below are the most recent tweets about impeachment we could find from official Congressional Twitter accounts for representatives in Texas. Like what your rep says about impeachment? Be sure to reply to the tweet with your support! Disagree? Let them know!

Editor’s note: We are posting these because we think it’s important for the American people to be able to easily find what their representatives are saying publicly about impeachment, but we note at the outset that we vehemently disagree with the attacks on the Democrats being levied by the Texas Republicans

Louie Gohmert, TX01, Republican

“They [Democrats] don’t have the right to abuse the process; and, this was a total abuse of process. It was a witch hunt – that’s why they could not settle on a charge until they had exhausted that there was no evidence of a crime …” pic.twitter.com/bJYnv0oMqj

Dan Crenshaw, TX02, Republican

Americans know a political game when they see it.

So far, the impeachment inquiry has exposed nothing but presumptions and suspicions. Impeachment on those grounds would be a radical leap. pic.twitter.com/v4ZlnSdCiK

Van Taylor, TX03, Republican

Van Taylor has not tweeted recently about impeachment, but he tweeted this in October, demanding access to a hearing he did not have the authority to attend.

An impeachment inquiry is incredibly serious and deserves to be conducted with transparency and impartiality. Despite giving the Chairman advance notice, I was again denied access to any records related to the inquiry. pic.twitter.com/74YTry33cP

John Ratcliffe, TX04, Republican

Alexander Hamilton said the greatest danger of impeachment would be depriving a president of due process and using impeachment politically by the party that has the most votes in the House. Sadly, that day has come. Today's Democrats are the Founders' worst nightmare. pic.twitter.com/tIGs8F6QA1

Lance Gooden, TX05, Republican

Embarrassing day for America as @TheDemocrats hold a phony vote on impeachment. Their obsession with @realdonaldtrump will be punished by the voters they have no faith in.
— Lance Gooden (@Lancegooden) October 31, 2019

Ron Wright, TX06, Republican

After months of wasted time and taxpayer dollars, Dems have voted to move ahead with articles of impeachment.

Pelosi wanted this to be a compelling, overwhelming, and bipartisan process. None of these conditions were met.

This was a sham on day one, and it's still a sham today.

Lizzie Fletcher, TX07, Democrat

Few questions can be more important to our democracy than whether to impeach a President.

A review of the evidence & Constitution shows that the President has abused his power and obstructed Congress.

I shared my thoughts on the impeachment articles with my constituents today: pic.twitter.com/A1SeWpqZtd

Kevin Brady, TX08, Republican

A NATIONAL DISGRACE

The Democrats impeachment charges of @realDonaldTrump are a disgrace.

No evidence. No facts. The two "charges" are laughable.

In a court of law it would be thrown out as a frivolous lawsuit.

Stop wasting America's time.

Al Green, TX09, Democrat

The question isn't whether the House will impeach, the question is whether the Senate will uphold its constitutional duty to convict and remove a constitutionally unfit president from office.#ImpeachAndConvictTrump
— Congressman Al Green (@RepAlGreen) December 11, 2019

Michael McCaul, TX10, Republican

I have objected this impeachment probe because it denies due process, fundamental transparency and basic fairness.

From Day 1, Democrats have ignored the rules & 45 yrs of historic impeachment precedent w/out any authorization.

I will be voting NO on the #ImpeachmentResolution
— Michael McCaul (@RepMcCaul) October 31, 2019

Mike Conaway, TX11, Republican

"Democrats understand they are offering the weakest case for impeachment since Andrew Johnson, that the public isn’t convinced, and so they simply want to get it over with." https://t.co/XDf3zAYQcu
— Mike Conaway (@ConawayTX11) December 13, 2019

Kay Granger, TX12, Republican

Instead of doing the work of the people, Democrats are continuing a partisan attack that will consume our time and attention, furthering their plan to remove the duly elected President @realDonaldTrump that began before he even took office. I repeat: before he even took office.
— Rep. Kay Granger (@RepKayGranger) December 9, 2019

Randy Weber, TX14, Republican

Note: Democrats in the House have passed hundreds of bills, most of which are sitting in the Senate waiting for a vote.

With this impeachment craziness: absolutely nothing is getting done. Mark my words: we’re going to wind up in a govt shut down because of the Democrats craziness. We should be working on important things: Healthcare, immigration reform, infrastructure repair. @realDonaldTrump
— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) November 19, 2019

Vicente Gonzalez, TX15, Democrat

I support a formal impeachment inquiry. pic.twitter.com/lX6eXSl7en
— Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (@RepGonzalez) September 26, 2019

Veronica Escobar, TX16, Democrat

Today I voted to move forward with Articles of Impeachnent.

We would never tolerate abuse of power and obstruction from our local and state officials. In fact, we’d be outraged.

This is no different, except that it’s worse.

Our elections are at stake.

And so is our democracy. https://t.co/pxibv0lKGZ
— Rep. Veronica Escobar (@RepEscobar) December 13, 2019

Bill Flores, TX17, Republican

In March, Pelosi said that impeachment divides the country, so the process has to be bipartisan, with compelling and overwhelming evidence. The Dems FAILED TO MEET ANY OF THOSE, so I will be voting NO on the sham impeachment. #MAGA #KAG
— U.S. Representative Bill Flores (@RepBillFlores) December 13, 2019

Sheila Jackson Lee, TX18, Democrat

The #impeachmenthearing of a @potus is a sober and somber task. After reading the @hpsci report, listening to scholars of the #constitution and engaging my @housejudiciary colleagues in debate, this morning I cast an "aye" vote for the #impeachment of President @realdonaldtrump pic.twitter.com/pj7n2LlxAO
— Sheila Jackson Lee (@JacksonLeeTX18) December 13, 2019

Jodey Arrington, TX19, Republican

The #SchiffShow is finally over.

With @SpeakerPelosi choosing to continue this impeachment charade, I’m confident my colleagues in the Senate will expose this for what it really is – a partisan sham fueled by hatred of @realDonaldTrump & fear that he will be re-elected: pic.twitter.com/gXE31S9GQo
— Rep. Arrington (@RepArrington) December 6, 2019

Joaquin Castro, TX20, Democrat

The most aggressive members of the GOP conference come across as true believers who adamantly and vociferously defend the President no matter what he does.

But those of us who grasp the severity of the evidence will not cower to this President.@amjoyshow @JoyAnnReid pic.twitter.com/Y1o3NprBqE
— Joaquin Castro (@JoaquinCastrotx) December 14, 2019

Chip Roy, TX21, Republican

1) My @HouseDemocrats colleagues have utterly failed to provide compelling evidence of a high crime and misdemeanor meriting the impeachment of a president.
— Rep. Chip Roy (@RepChipRoy) December 12, 2019

Pete Olson, TX22, Republican

Note: After this tweet, Democrats did vote on a bill to lower prescription drug prices and came to an agreement with Trump over USMCA.

.@HouseDemocrats’ majority priorities:

#1: Impeachment sham
#2: Impeachment sham
#3: Impeachment sham

What didn’t make the cut:

❌ USMCA
❌ Immigration reform
❌ Lowering drug prices

It’s time to stop this nonsense and attend to the real needs of the American people.
— Rep. Pete Olson (@RepPeteOlson) November 19, 2019

Roger Williams, TX25, Republican

Today’s vote to advance Democrats’ baseless articles of impeachment marks a sad day for our nation. They've been planning to impeach @realDonaldTrump since before he took office — and not once have their actions ever been rooted in facts. I will be voting NO on the House floor.
— Rep. Roger Williams (@RepRWilliams) December 13, 2019

Michael Burgess, TX26, Republican

Unless compelling new information is provided the only reasonable vote is no on both counts. Read my full statement on the @JudiciaryGOP decision on Articles of Impeachment: https://t.co/jJPyCeBMQM
— Michael Burgess, MD (@michaelcburgess) December 13, 2019

Michael Cloud, TX27, Republican

Note: The hearings after the Impeachment Resolution vote were largely public hearings, and the Republicans were able to question witnesses.

Every day it’s only more obvious that Washington is corrupt and broken.

I voted against the so-called impeachment resolution. It doesn't grant rights to the minority or guarantee transparency for the American people. Our country should not continue down this path.
— Michael Cloud (@RepCloudTX) October 31, 2019

Sylvia Garcia, TX29, Democrat

I voted for the 2nd of the #ArticlesOfImpeachment because Trump obstructed Congress when he barred govt officials from testifying as part of the #ImpeachmentHearings.

We have a duty to ensure that no President is ever above the law, and for that reason we must #ImpeachTrump. pic.twitter.com/X7HsQSiNL3
— Rep. Sylvia Garcia (@RepSylviaGarcia) December 13, 2019

Eddie Bernice Johnson, TX30, Democrat

I support the Articles of Impeachment as written by the Judiciary Committee and plan to support both Articles next week on the House floor. https://t.co/DZYDiDi5bp
— US Rep E.B.Johnson (@RepEBJ) December 13, 2019

John Carter, TX31, Republican

Note: Democrats have since agreed to a vote on USMCA.

Democrats are so focused on impeaching @POTUS they aren't prioritizing the People's work. Over 100,000 Texas jobs depend on trade with Mexico and Canada. It's time to stop the delays and bring #USMCA to the floor. https://t.co/r6ROwFja3e
— Judge Carter (@JudgeCarter) November 21, 2019

Colin Allred, TX32, Democrat

I do not take this decision lightly, but it is clear the President engaged in a serious abuse of power and committed an impeachable offense. As a member of the House, I must uphold the rule of law and defend the Constitution. https://t.co/R9RJikMV4x
— Colin Allred (@ColinAllredTX) December 13, 2019

Marc Veasey, TX33, Democrat

Today, my colleagues and I continued to hold him accountable by providing a clear path forward for the ongoing impeachment inquiry by voting on this resolution. Read my full statement here: https://t.co/rv5D2O5YTh
— Rep. Marc Veasey (@RepVeasey) October 31, 2019

Filemon Vela, TX34, Democrat

This is why it is imperative that we impeach Donald Trump.

Brian Babin, TX36, Republican

The shameful announcement by @HouseDemocrats that they're going to impeach @realDonaldTrump (based entirely on hearsay, with no direct evidence), was followed immediately with a *shameless* press conference taking credit for #USMCA. Amazing but sadly predictable!
