Columbia, South Carolina.- The following is a statement from South Carolina Republican Chairman, Drew McKissick, regarding the public impeachment hearings in Washington:

“It is clear that this impeachment inquiry is not about a phone call, not about Ukraine, and it’s not about any wrongdoing. It’s about politics, plain and simple – and the incredibly disturbing lengths that Democrats will go to in order to overturn the results of the 2016 election. It’s past time for Joe Cunningham to stand up and denounce this charade for what it is, a partisan witch hunt. While House Democrats continue to waste time on these hearing, we look forward to seeing Senator Graham and Senate Republicans continue to confirm qualified, conservative judges nominated by President Trump.”
