Washington, D.C. – Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin – responding to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s decision to introduce S.Res. 378, a Senate resolution condemning the House’s unprecedented action in initiating a so-called “official impeachment inquiry” without the benefit of a vote of the full House – today issued the following statement:

“Three cheers for S.Res. 378, Sen. Graham’s condemnation of the House’s unprecedented so-called ‘impeachment’ action! What Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and their cronies have done with their kangaroo court is so far beyond the pale it would be laughable, if it weren’t so serious, and we’re encouraged to see that the vast majority of GOP Senators, including the Majority Leader, have already signed on as cosponsors. What Pelosi and Schiff have done in the House is a sham. No due process, no right to confront one’s accuser, no right to cross-examine witnesses, no right to bring in one’s own witnesses, no right even to be present while witnesses are being interviewed … somewhere in Moscow, there’s a former Stalin-era ‘show trial’ ‘prosecutor’ rolling over in his grave.

“The only question we have at this point is, what’s keeping the remaining seven GOP Senators from adding their names to the list of cosponsors?”
