SEATTLE (AP) — Two of the three Republicans in Washington state’s congressional delegation have come out in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump over the riot of his supporters at the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of southwest Washington’s 3rd Congressional District spoke in favor of impeachment on the House floor Wednesday. She said, “I am not choosing a side. I am choosing truth.”
And Rep. Dan Newhouse, of central Washington’s 4th District, joined her, saying in the House that “there is no excuse for the president’s actions.”
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of the 5th District in eastern Washington hasn’t yet announced her position.
