of
United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr.
February 13, 2021
WHEREAS, the York County Republican Committee has met on February 13,
2021; and
WHEREAS, United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr., by and through his
actions, has failed the People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; and
WHEREAS, During the Election of 2020, the Governor of the Commonwealth, the
Secretary of the Commonwealth, a partisan majority of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court,
and various counties in the Commonwealth engaged in direct violations of the United
States Constitution which brought into question the integrity of the Presidential Election in
Pennsylvania; and,
WHEREAS, United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr. sat silent, failing to
address the legitimate concerns of his constituents; and,
WHEREAS, A hyper-partisan U.S. House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, Congressman Adam Schiff and Congressman Jerrold Nadler, spent nearly the
entirety of President Trump’s term in office engaged in an unwarranted effort to impeach
the President based on charges they knew or should have known to be false; and
WHEREAS, United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr. sat silently by,
giving his tacit approval of these egregious acts of these Members of Congress; and,
WHEREAS, This same hyper-partisan U.S. House of Representatives, again led by
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, delivered a second Article of Impeachment of President, Donald J.
Trump, to the United States Senate for trial; and
WHEREAS, proceeding with a trial on Articles of Impeachment against a President
who has already left office is unprecedented, constitutionally infirm and motivated by the
same hyper-partisan interests that sought to impeach the President during the preceding
four years; and,
WHEREAS, The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, in likely
recognition of the folly that is the United States Senate’s Impeachment trial, refused to
preside over the trial; and,
WHEREAS, The United States Senate, in direct contravention of Article I, Section 3
of the United States Constitution, has proceeded with an Impeachment trial without the
Chief Justice presiding; and,
WHEREAS, In a staggering deprivation of Due Process and the right to a fair and
unbiased tribunal, United States Senator Patrick Leahy is serving as judge, juror and
witness in the Impeachment trial; and,
WHEREAS, United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr. endorsed this
unprecedented unconstitutional action when he voted to proceed with an Impeachment
trial for a President that is no longer in office; and,
WHEREAS, United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr.’s voting record is
replete with positions that are counter to the principles of the Republican Party and out of
touch with the core beliefs of the People of Pennsylvania; and,
WHEREAS, The People of Pennsylvania deserve better elected representation than
United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr. has given; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, The York County Republican Committee hereby censures United
States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr.; be it further
RESOLVED, The York County Republican Committee condemns, in the strongest
terms, the actions of United States Senator Patrick Joseph Toomey, Jr. for his failure to
defend the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees; be it further
RESOLVED, The York County Republican Committee discourages members of the
Republican Party of York County from making campaign contributions to him in the
future; and strongly encourages Senator Toomey to return campaign contributions made to
him in 2020 by any member of the Republican Party of York County who requests such a
refund; and be it further
