Published | Video Starts at 01:01

… politicians in the Texas House are demonstrating that blind loyalty to Speaker Dave Phelan is more important than upholding their oath of office. They are determined to ignore the law. They have denied me the opportunity to present the evidence which contradicts their politically motivated narrative. And they are showcasing their absolute contempt for the electoral process. Every politician who supports this deceitful and impeachment attempt will inflict lasting damage on the credibility of the Texas House which I served in. (01:01–01:08)
