Governor Kay Ivey on Friday released a statement strongly backing President Donald Trump.
Amid current impeachment efforts by U.S. House Democrats, Ivey said, “We are witnessing an injustice on our democracy.”
“Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress are making an attempt to impeach the president through the press via leaks and conjecture,” she outlined. “This appears to be purely political when you offer no due process and zero transparency.”
“When we elected President Trump in 2016, Alabamians and the American people sought progress,” Ivey remarked. “We wanted stronger infrastructure, a booming economy, and security for all American citizens. President Trump and his Administration are fighting to do that. Congress has a job to do on behalf of the American people, not this political charade we are currently witnessing.”
The governor then suggested that Washington, D.C. politicians look at the Yellowhammer State as an example of bipartisan governance. This comes after major bills this past state legislative session, such as the Rebuild Alabama Act, received overwhelming support from both sides of the aisle.
“I say Congress should take a page out of our book here in Alabama. Our achievements are accomplished through strong, bipartisan efforts, and we are seeing great progress for that,” Ivey advised.
“President Trump has my steadfast and full support as he works to better our nation,” she concluded.
