Ranking Member Connolly's Statement on Rep. LaMonica McIver

Today, Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement:

“I stand with Congresswoman McIver and stand by her constitutional duty to conduct responsible oversight as a representative of the people of Newark.

“This Administration’s unprecedented attempts to silence opposition, scare people into submission, and seize more power is a brazen assault on our nation’s separation of powers and the very foundation of our democratic republic.

“We find ourselves as a Congress and a nation at a consequential inflection point: Will we stand by as one branch of government illegally tramples the rights of another and those of the people we were elected to represent? Or will we unite with clarity and moral outrage against these politically motivated charges designed to intimidate those who would speak out against the unlawful and corrupt atrocities of this President and Administration. House Democrats will not back down.”
