In a forceful and highly energized appearance, a Democratic congressman delivered a passionate speech reaffirming his commitment to pursuing impeachment proceedings against the sitting president. Speaking before a vocal crowd of supporters, he declared that safeguarding American democracy is a responsibility that cannot be ignored.
“This is my watch — our watch,” he announced, emphasizing that every official and citizen standing with him shares accountability for the future of the country. The remarks were met with affirmations from the crowd, who responded enthusiastically throughout the address.
The congressman stated that under his watch, neither democracy nor the principles of liberty and justice would be allowed to erode. He criticized what he described as the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a single individual, asserting that no president should dominate the House, the Senate, and the executive branch simultaneously.
Quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., he reminded the audience that character is revealed in moments of challenge and controversy. “In this moment of challenge,” he said, “we stand for the only remedy to save democracy — impeachment.”
He went on to outline the process, clarifying that impeachment is only the first step, serving as an indictment. The next and crucial stage, he explained, is a Senate trial that must result in conviction. Repeatedly engaging the audience, he asked what should follow impeachment. The crowd responded loudly: “Conviction!” and later, “Remove him!”
Some in the crowd also began chanting additional phrases as emotions escalated.
The congressman concluded the speech with a clear and rhythmic call to action: “Impeach, convict, and remove.”
The remarks quickly drew national attention, adding fuel to the ongoing political debate surrounding impeachment efforts and the broader question of how best to protect democratic institutions in a polarized environment.
