Four of Virginia’s 11 members of the House are Republicans, and as Charles Fishburne reports, most are not commenting on the impeachment hearings, at least, not yet.
Transcript:
Wittman, Cline and Griffith had no comment when we called this morning. And Political Analyst Bob Holsworth says:
Bob Holsworth: The Republicans, by and large, represent districts that are not swing districts any longer, they are heavily red districts and they are going to be in line .
Only Fifth District Congressman Denver Riggleman offered a prepared statement saying the hearings have provided no evidence of wrongdoing and are purely a political show.
Holsworth: And that’s very important for him because he is going to face a primary challenge. One from a person who is a supervisor in Campbell County who also works at Liberty University from a party that in many ways has been distressed at the fact that Denver Riggleman presided over a same-sex marriage.
Holsworth says we are not going to see many defections from Republicans in general, especially from Virginia.
