NEBRASKA GOV. PETE RICKETTS IS CRITICIZING THE DECISION TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP A SECOND TIME, saying it “serves no good purpose” and will further divide the nation. — LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts is criticizing the decision to impeach President Donald Trump a second time, saying it “serves no good purpose” and will further divide the nation.
Ricketts, a fellow Republican and Trump supporter, says the president’s time in office is nearly over after his loss to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden in November.
He says the country should be focused on healing and ensuring a smooth transition of power.
The U.S. House impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection after the deadly mob siege at the U.S. Capitol.
Pro-Trump loyalists stormed the Capitol after the president called on them to “fight like hell” against the election results.
