The White House released a statement after the impeachment resolution passed the House, where they claimed that Trump’s impeachment is un-American.

In a statement provided to PoliticusUSA from the office of the press secretary, the White House said:

The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it. Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats’ unhinged obsession with this illegitimate impeachment proceeding does not hurt President Trump; it hurts the American people. Instead of focusing on pressing issues that impact real families, like reducing gun violence, passing the USMCA, improving healthcare, lowering prescription drug costs, securing our southern border, and modernizing our aging infrastructure, the Democrats are choosing every day to waste time on a sham impeachment—a blatantly partisan attempt to destroy the President.

With today’s vote, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have done nothing more than enshrine unacceptable violations of due process into House rules. Speaker Pelosi, Chairman Schiff and the Democrats conducted secret, behind-closed-door meetings, blocked the Administration from participating, and have now voted to authorize a second round of hearings that still fails to provide any due process whatsoever to the Administration. The Democrats want to render a verdict without giving the Administration a chance to mount a defense. That is unfair, unconstitutional, and fundamentally un-American.

A president who tried to strongarm a foreign government into interfering in a US election is calling impeachment unfair.

Trump and the White House demanded the impeachment vote.
It doesn’t matter what House Democrats do or the rights that they provide this president in the process, the White House is going to stick to their talking points that this impeachment is unfair and illegitimate because they don’t like it.

House Democrats have passed legislation that the White House complained about in their statement, but Mitch McConnell won’t bring the legislation to the Senate floor for a vote.

Trump has no defense and no strategy for combating impeachment. The American people aren’t buying his defense, and doubling down, only makes it worse.
