Diaz-Balart Statement on Impeachment Vote

January 13, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C. ­­–– Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25) issued the following statement regarding H. Res. 24 – Article of Impeachment.

"January 6, 2021, will forever be remembered as a dark day in our nation's history. The violent mob that stormed the Capitol that day attacked our safety, our freedom, and our democracy. From the moment the attack occurred, I have emphatically condemned the violence. All those who took part in the barbaric acts must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. During this time of tension and division -when we should be focused on healing- Speaker Pelosi continues to push acts that further divide our nation. Impeaching the President exactly one week before his term is complete is unnecessarily divisive and unwise.

"President-elect Biden will be sworn in as President on January 20, 2021. I am committed to working with my colleagues and the incoming administration to reduce divisions in our nation and work on issues of importance to the American people. "
