The Reverends Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, and Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian leaders, released a statement denouncing the House vote.

“On Dec. 18, 2019 the Democrats in Congress chose political expediency over our election integrity, and we shall see in 2020 whether or not the party increasingly led by Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be rewarded or rejected by millions of Americans, Democrat and Republican,” they said in a statement sent via email.

“Our relentless prayers especially rest with the President of the United States and upon all of those who led us into this utterly partisan disregard of the most powerful tool our Founders gave us to undo a presidential election - which is exactly what this is an attempt to do.”
