U.S. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) is facing backlash from the Clark County Republicans after voting to impeach former President Donald Trump.
“And I can tell you that from old-time party regulars — people that traditionally and typically support Congresswoman Herrera Beutler — all the way down to your average ordinary everyday Republican voter, I can report to you that there is a lot of anger in the ranks because of her impeachment vote,” Joel Mattila, the new chair of the Clark County Republicans said, The Columbian reported.
Herrera Beutler was one of ten Republicans in Congress who voted to impeach Trump.
The others were Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), John Katko (R-N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), Tom Rice (R-S.C.), Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and David Valadao (R-Calif.).
The impeachment vote was made in the wake of the Capitol being overrun by protesters.
“My vote to impeach our sitting president is not a fear-based decision. I am not choosing a side, I’m choosing truth,” Herrera Beutler said on the House floor during the impeachment hearing.
