U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, was a leader in a demonstration Wednesday that delayed impeachment testimony from a Pentagon official, according to a Washington Post story.
The newspaper wrote that conservative members of Congress staged a “demonstration against the (Trump impeachment) probe and barged into a secure facility on Capitol Hill.”
Gaetz is included in the story, according to the Post:
“About two dozen conservative Republican members led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) gathered near the deposition room to protest what they described as Democrats’ secretive approach to the inquiry. Several in the group accused Democratic leaders of trying to undo the 2016 election result, rallying behind a talking point promoted by House GOP leaders.”
“If behind those doors, they intend to overturn the result of an American presidential election, we want to know what’s going on,” Gaetz said, according to the Post.
Gaetz also accused Democrats of being “obsessed with attacking a president who we believe has not done anything to deserve impeachment.”
