WASHINGTON, D.C. — There are six members of the House of Representatives representing Kentucky in Washington. Five Republicans voted against the second impeachment of President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection. The lone Democrat voted in support of the article. 

Rep. John Yarmuth, (D) Louisville, YES

In a statement following the Wednesday vote, Yarmuth wrote “Never in American history has a President taken such brazen, lawless, and reckless action against our own nation as Donald Trump undertook last week. And yet, while this dark episode was unprecedented, it was entirely consistent with the behavior he has displayed each day for well over the last four years."

Rep. James Comer, (R) Tompkinsville, NO

Comer believes he was the only Kentucky House member on the House floor when the Capitol was breached by extremist Trump supporters on January 6th.

"There are many Democrats that I've heard rile up crowds," said Comer in an interview with Spectrum News One. "Both parties need to realize that sometimes their words could create unintended consequences and I think that's what happened with the rally last Wednesday." He doesn't believe Trump was responsible for the insurrection.

Rep. Brett Guthrie, (R) Bowling Green, NO

Guthrie is calling for a bipartisan commission to study the origins of the breach. "I don't want to vote to impeach a President based on what is being reported in the media," said Guthrie in an interview with Spectrum News One. The Bowling Green Republican rejected the Democrat led effort as rushed and urged for an investigation into the events that led to the attack. 

Rep. Thomas Massie, (R) Covington, NO

"The impeachment is a fruitless exercise. It's only going to divide the country," said Massie in an interview with Spectrum News One. He was one of seven members who sent a letter to Joe Biden asking him, in the interest of healing the country to ask House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to cancel the impeachment vote. 

Rep. Andy Barr, (R) Lexington, NO

In a statement, Barr described Trump's words leading up the deadly siege as "regrettable and irresponsible" but did not believe they satisfied the legal definition of incitement. 

Rep. Hal Rogers, (R) Sandy Hook, NO 

In a statement, Rogers characterized the impeachment vote as divisive, "The violent rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6th, leading to the loss of innocent lives and damage across this great institution, will rightly be held responsible for their actions to the fullest extent of the law – and that should be our focus."
