Outgoing Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA) gave her final speech on the floor of the House of Representatives on Thursday where she decried a “double standard” for powerful women and contended that her vote to move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump was in defiance of his “abuse of power over women.”
“I am leaving, but we have men who have been credibly accused of intentional acts of sexual violence and remain in boardrooms, on the Supreme Court, in this very body, and worst of all, in the Oval Office,” Hill said in her final remarks before leaving Congress. “So, the fight goes on to create the change that every woman and girl in this country deserves.”
