Beatty should stand up for Trump’s impeachment
I recently reached out to Rep. Joyce Beatty with questions about whether she supports impeaching President Donald Trump.
She has not responded. Her office’s lack of urgency about the state of our nation and the future of our democracy is deeply troubling.
Trump’s administration is boldly steering our country into authoritarianism.
He and his staff have openly discussed seeking a third term by exploiting legal loopholes around presidential term limits. What we once thought were exaggerated rumors — from mass deportations to market manipulation — have become our reality.
Trump and his cabinet have committed crimes for which they are not being held accountable. We must impeach now or risk the death of American democracy.
That’s not something any of us should be willing to risk.
I am encouraging Beatty to make public her commitment as an American citizen and a representative of democracy to remove tyrants from public office. Whether an elected official is willing to do this will be a clear indicator of their viability as a candidate in 2026. I hope to hear from Rep. Beatty soon.
