In separate emails, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Bob Salera argued that the two members are voting against the wishes of their constituents. “Instead of working for Texans, Lizzie Fletcher and her deranged socialist colleagues have let their obsession with impeaching President Trump take over,” he said in one statement. “Fletcher’s decision to ignore her constituents and support impeachment will mark the end of her short, unaccomplished political career.” No Texas Republican members have called for impeachment or are publicly floating the notion.

At this point, GOP senators have shown no interest in convicting Trump if the issue makes it to the chamber. The state’s two Republican senators — Cornyn and Sen. Ted Cruz — both voted for a Senate resolution, which passed unanimously, calling for the whistleblower complaint to be given to the intelligence committees. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Terrell, launched an unlikely effort to unseat the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-New York, for moving toward impeachment before the full House had authorized it. “This attempted coup against a duly elected, sitting president is unprecedented and must be stopped,” Gooden said.
