House Democrats responded to their GOP colleagues’ actions this morning, calling their behavior “embarrassing” and “completely inappropriate.”
As Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper was sitting down to testify, the roughly two dozen Republicans stormed through the three different doors, a source in the room said.
“I guess when you’re desperate you go back to complaining about the process, and that’s what they’re doing,” Democratic Rep. Val Demings said.
Republicans have criticized the how Democrats are moving forward with the impeachment process, claiming they've been left out.
Demings said, while Republicans are under a lot of stress for a lot of different reasons, this investigation is being conducted by the Intelligence Committee. She reiterated the process includes Republican members on the three relevant committees conducting the impeachment inquiry who have the same access as the Democrats on the committee.
“I think it’s completely inappropriate. I think when the facts are against you, the law is against you, the President apparently committed a crime, you are left with arguing process, and that’s what they’re arguing,” Rep. Harley Rouda said.
“We’re embarrassing ourselves in front of company,” Rep. Mike Quigley, who serves on the House Intelligence Committee, said.
