Washington dc – Washington-based commissioner Jenniffer Gonzalez does not anticipate a change of leadership in the Republican caucus of the U.S. House of Representatives, to which she belongs and who clearly voted to reverse the democratic outcome of the May 3 election. of November.
Gonzalez was one of 11 Republicans who spoke out in favor of ousting former President Donald Trump. Ten Republicans in the lower house supported the dismissal charge against Trump.
In order not to have a vote in this process, González, in public statements, favored last week the expulsion of the now former chief executive from his post before his term expired.
“Without evidence one cannot subvert the election result … President Biden won legitimately”, González said in an interview with The New Day.
Lower House Republican minority leader Kevin McCarthy, California, was one of Trump’s most loyal supporters as president.
Even after the congressional attack, which caused five deaths and disrupted the constitutional process of counting polling station votes, McCarthy voted in favor of canceling the votes of the states of Pennsylvania and Arizona.
“Kevin had to manage a delegation that bought (Trump’s) message,” said Gonzalez, who believes that after Republicans get more seats in the lower house, McCarthy’s future as a minority leader is not at stake.
Two-thirds of House Republicans supported reversing election results on Nov. 3, including McCarthy.
The commissioner insisted that over the past four years she sought to “maximize” her relationship with President Trump, who steered U.S. destinies at a time when Puerto Rico faced two powerful hurricanes, earthquakes and a global pandemic. coronavirus, in the midst of a fiscal crisis.
He wanted to highlight that despite Trump’s obvious disdain for Puerto Rico, the now former president signed the laws by which Congress, after the biggest catastrophe on the island in a century, sought to mitigate the damage caused mainly by Hurricane Maria, in September 2017.
After the attack on Congress on King’s Day, starring supporters who Trump himself encouraged to go to federal lawmakers, the commissioner said he would never support the former president of the United States again. he supported being found guilty of inciting insurrection.
Trump will face a political trial in the U.S. Senate accused of inciting insurrection. With the trial, the Senate may decide to ban running for president again.
