Thank you at home for joining me tonight. This time of year, four years ago,

Democrats were preparing to impeach Donald Trump for withholding aid to Ukraine

in an attempt to get political dirt on Joe Biden.

Republicans were, not surprisingly, outraged.

But there was one Republican congressman in particular

who had a very specific reason

for opposing Trump's impeachment, a reason that he repeated

over and over and over.

The founding fathers, the founders of this country warned against single party impeachment

They said that it would be bitterly divisive perhaps irreparably divisive for the country

The founders of this country warned us against a single party impeachment because they feared it would bitterly and perhaps irreparably divide our nation.

The founders of this country warned against a single party impeachment. You know why? You guys know why?

Because they feared it would bitterly and perhaps irreparably divide our nation.

The founding fathers warned us. I mean they feared a single party impeachment they knew that it would

bitterly divide the country it might be irreparable damage to the country

the founding fathers warned us no single party impeachments.

If an impeachment isn't bipartisan it should not happen.

So spoke the founding fathers and that was the message from Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson.

And Congressman Johnson was especially concerned about an impeachment

happening the December before an election year.

If you don't like the president, he goes on the ballot again after four years.

We have an election in 11 months. Let the people decide this.
