RO Statement on Biden Inauguration

On January 20, 2021, Former Vice President Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America.

We join President Trump in ‘praying for [the incoming administration’s] success in keeping America safe and prosperous’. We support the peaceful transfer of power that has always been a hallmark of American democracy.

Biden has stated that he wants to unify America and that he will be a President for all citizens. We call on President-Elect Biden to start fostering that unity by:

  • Disavowing all political violence, especially that of Antifa and BLM;
  • Rejecting the calls for ‘deprogramming’ of conservatives and the ‘re-education’ of conservatives’ children;
  • Rejecting legislation that will classify conservatives as ‘domestic terrorists’, thereby treating his fellow law-abiding American citizens as if they were members of Al-Qaeda;
  • Rejecting the leftist practices of blacklisting political opponents and seeking to oust them from jobs and communities; and
  • Refraining from the politicization of our great military by requiring that military members swear an oath of allegiance to him and not to the country and Constitution.

President-Elect Biden must uphold the Constitutional rights of all citizens, including the 75 million Americans who voted for President Trump.

Lastly, we call on the leaders of both parties in the Senate to distance themselves from any attempt to try President Trump on the Article of Impeachment currently sitting in the House. Congress should focus on legislating for the benefit of all Americans at home and abroad.

Republicans Overseas Opposes the Impeachment of President Trump

Statement from Republicans Overseas on the House of Representatives’ Vote to Impeach President Trump (January 14, 2021)

Yesterday’s partisan vote to impeach President Trump increases the political divide that separates Americans and runs counter to President-elect Biden’s commitment to bring Americans together.  All Republicans, including President Trump, have denounced the extremists who occupied the Capitol building. We all mourn the people who died that day.

Democrats, instead of looking to heal the Nation after a heated election, are now conducting a purge.  Freedom of speech is being suppressed in a Chinese fashion.  Innocent Americans who peacefully attended the protest on January 6th in Washington and who did not enter the Capitol building are now being called Nazis and having their livelihoods threatened.

75 million American citizens voted for President Trump.  Republicans Overseas stands with them to defend the Constitution, especially the First Amendment rights of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, a free press, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble. We oppose cancel culture and its impact on all American citizens.  We call on the Democrats to turn down the rhetoric and join us in standing up for the rights of all citizens.

RO Statement on the Impeachment (Jan. 14, 2021)

January 6, 2021 Capitol Riots

Republicans Overseas unequivocally denounces the violence that occurred at the nation’s Capitol on January 6, 2021. We stand with our brave law enforcement officers who protected the Congress, and we lament the deaths of two police officers and four protestors. We support the prosecution of those who broke the law.

Citizens must be allowed their First Amendment right to peacefully protest, but violence is never acceptable and has no place in American politics.
