U.S. Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) is risking backlash from the local GOP establishment after voting to impeach former President Donald Trump.
Upton said that while he wanted a bipartisan censure that would not interfere with the business of the next administration, “enough is enough.”
Upton said Trump's efforts "to impede the peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next” were wrong.
Upton was one of ten Republican members of Congress who voted to impeach Trump.
The others were: Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), John Katko (R-N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Peter Meijer (R-Mich.), Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), Tom Rice (R-S.C.) and David Valadao (R-Calif.)
The impeachment vote was made in the wake of the Capitol being overrun by protesters.
