U.S. Rep. Tim Walberg was not among the 10 Republicans who sided with Democrats when the US House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors relating to his role in last week s attack on the Capitol.
Rep. Walberg, R-Tipton, represents Michigan s 7th Congressional District, which includes the City of Saline, and the townships of Lodi, York and Saline. Democrat Debbie Dingell, D-Dearborn, voted for impeachment. Dingell represents Michigan s 12th Congressional District, which includes Ann Arbor and Pittsfield Township.
Walberg, in a Facebook post, said the violence at the Capitol was sickening and must be condemned, but said a rushed impeachment would deepen the nation s turmoil.
