Phillips remains in Washington, backs Articles of Impeachment
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Reps. Dean Phillips (MN-03), Tom Malinowski (NJ-07), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) led 59 of their colleagues in a letter calling on House leaders to immediately reconvene the House of Representatives to reckon with the assault on our democracy that took place on January 6th.
“While we should take pride in finishing the work of certifying the presidential election and demonstrating to the world that Congress cannot be intimidated, this is not enough. We should show the American people that Congress is continuing to meet its responsibilities in the face of extraordinary threats, including by strengthening our nation’s defenses against these threats and by holding accountable those who enable them,” wrote the lawmakers.
Phillips has pledged to remain in Washington until Congress has a plan to hold those who stoked sedition accountable. Earlier today, Phillips signed on to Articles of Impeachment introduced by Reps. David Cicilline (RI-01), Ted Lieu (CA-33), and Jamie Raskin (MD-08).
