Rep. Jim McGovern (D): "We are debating this historic measure at an actual crime scene and we wouldn't be here if it weren't for POTUS ... the signal [of Trump's speech last Wednesday] was unmistakable: these thugs should stage a coup so Donald Trump could hang on to power."

McGovern: "Every moment that Donald Trump is in the White House, our nation, our freedom is in danger."

Rep. Tom Cole (R) isn't even pretending to try to defend Trump on the merits. His entire speech is objecting to the "flawed process."

Rep. Judy Chu (D): "Last week, I hid in an office for hours, terrified to open the door because I did not know if a rioter was on the other side ready to attack, kidnap, or murder me ... they were radicalized by the president ... Donald Trump must be held accountable."

Steny Hoyer: "Representative Cheney from Wyoming, a conservative Republican, said this: 'POTUS summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.' That is not some irresponsible new member... this is the daughter of the former Republican whip and former VP."

Hoyer: "I served w/Reagan, George HW Bush, & George Bush. I have respect for all those presidents. They cared about our country. They honored our constitution & executed the duties of the office consistent w/the constitution & laws of our country. That's not true of this POTUS."

"This will only bring up the hate and fire more than ever before" -- Republican Rep. Jason Smith

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, making her first speech on the House floor, argues against Trump's impeachment because it's "rushed" and "there is violence on both sides of the aisle"

McGovern puts Jim Jordan on blast for still refusing to acknowledge that Joe Biden is the rightful winner of the presidential election, then says, "coming up on this floor and talking about whatboutism and trying to make these false equivalences -- give me a break."

who wants to tell Rep. Reschenthaler?

Rep. Doggett: "For years Trump has honored thugs worldwide who suppress democracy. For months, with a daily diet of lies, he has made clear his refusal to accept any election in which he was not the winner ... we did stop the steal -- we stopped Trump from stealing our democracy"

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "For years we have been asked to turn a blind eye to the criminality, corruption, and blatant disregard to the rule of law by the tyrant president we have in the White House. We as a nation can no longer look away."

McGovern: "Some of my Republican friends have been trying to lecture about unity. Unity, after they voted to overturn a free & fair election, but also preaching unity & not acknowledging that for 4 years, many of them gave oxygen to Trump's conspiracy theories, to the big lies."
