House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is offering his own take on President Donald Trumpâs âMake America Great Againâ slogan.
During a speech on the House floor amid Impeachment proceedings on Wednesday, Hoyer mentioned the rioters who violently descended on the U.S. Capitol last week and suggested their actions serve as another meaning to Trumpâs slogan.
âThey had the hats on of the army of MAGA, which I refer to as âMake America Grieve Again,'â Hoyer said.
He added, âWe grieved at Fort Sumter. We grieved on Dec. 7, 1941, and we grieved on 9/11 and, yes, we grieved on Jan. 6 of this year.â

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) joined Cheney in planning on voting to impeach Trump.
âThere is no doubt in my mind that the President of the United States broke his oath of office and incited this insurrection,â Kinzinger wrote in a statement.
According to Axios, there is a âbetter than 50-50 chanceâ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) would vote in favor of impeaching Trump.
Vice President Mike Pencerejected a push to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump from office.
âI do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our Constitution,â Pence wrote in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
