Some Republicans say the impeachment of former President Donald Trump is driving disunity and that the only way to heal is to let it go. U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer disagrees.
Meijer, a freshman legislator from Grand Rapids, is a Republican. He’s among 10 who voted with Democrats to impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. A trial should start this month in the Senate. It seems unlikely that 17 Republican senators — the number needed to join with Democrats to get to the two-thirds necessary to convict — will abandon the party line.
Meijer said some who earlier condemned the riot and acknowledged that Trump’s lies about the election contributed to it now seem to be backpedaling.
