The newly appointed Republican party official said he may have ended his career by voting for Trump’s impeachment.

Republican MP Peter Meijer (Mich.) Said on Sunday that he may have ended his political career by joining nine Republican colleagues in the House to vote for impeachment President TrumpDonald TrumpFacebook temporarily bans ads for weapon accessories after the riots at Sasse Capitol, in a burning opinion article, says QAnon is destroying GOP Section 230 worked on after the insurrection, but not before: How to regulate social media MORE.

On ABC’s “This Week” program, host George StephanopoulosGeorge Robert StephanopoulosChristie: If Trump’s actions are not unobtainable, ‘then I really don’t know what’ Kinzinger: Trump’s resignation would be ‘the best thing for the country to heal’ Ocasio-Cortez: Every minute Trump stays in office ‘represents a clear and present danger’ MORE asked Meijer if he was concerned about ending his career by voting for Trump’s impeachment.

“I may as well have,” replied Meijer. “But I also think it’s important that we have elected leaders who don’t just think about what is in their individual interest, not what will be politically convenient, but what we really need for the country.”

Stephanopoulos also asked Meijer if he thought it was time for the Republican Party to pass Trump.

“I think it’s time for us to recognize that what happened on January 6 was a betrayal of what had been achieved in the last four years, which was the culmination of a policy that often, you know, fanned the flames more than focused in construction and governance, “said Meijer.

“You know, the president brought some necessary energy. He brought some necessary ideas. He shook the tree. He was an agent of change. The challenge was that he didn’t know when to stop, and he didn’t draw a line, and to me, political violence is the line that we must draw ”, he added.

Meijer said last week that he was buying bulletproof vests and changing his routine due to fear of more violence on Capitol Hill.

Ten Republicans joined Democrats last week to vote for Trump’s impeachment for his role in the deadly US Capitol riot, making him the only president to face two charges. Trump spoke to his supporters at a rally before breaking into the complex, where a joint session of Congress met to certify President-elect Biden’s victory.
