Republican U.S. Representatives from Montana and Wyoming split Wednesday in votes to impeach President Donald Trump over the deadly insurrection at the Capitol.
As members of the U.S. House debated impeaching Trump for a second time in 13 months, Montana’s Republican Representative Matt Rosendale wrote in a Tweet, “This is just another episode of the Democrats’ disgraceful political theater.”
Rosendale has not been made available for an interview with YPR since he assumed office.
In Tweets before and after the vote, the freshman Representative also called for Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third highest ranking House Republican, to step down as House Republican Conference Chair.
