Senate trial of Trump will ‘further divide this nation,’ N.Y. GOP lawmaker warns

New York Republican Rep. Tom Reed, co-chair of the bipartisan House Problem Solvers Caucus, warned that holding an impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate against former President Trump will “further divide” the American public.

“I came out in support of censure of President Trump in regards to the activity that occurred on the mall that day in the speech that I watched, and I witnessed myself, and so I recognize the accountability,” Reed said during a virtual event organized by the Economic Club of Washington on Wednesday.

“Censure is not a slap on the wrist,” he added. “Censure is historic. We’ve only censured one president officially from Congress to the president. So it’s not like it’s a non-existent penalty. It’s a historic penalty. And so I got a lot of heat from my party in regards to the position on that.”

“Impeachment is about overturning the will of an election, and so the votes that were cast in 2016, that was an election that put President Trump in place, and if you’re going to overturn that election, you still have to take all the consideration of impeachment into effect,” he said.
