As House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff gave his closing remarks on the House floor tonight — to wrap up the day long debate on the impeachment of the President, — Trump took the stage at his Christmas themed campaign rally at the Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Vice President Mike Pence introduced Trump and blasted the impeachment proceedings in the House, calling them a “disgrace.”

“What’s going on in Washington, D.C. tonight is a disgrace,” Pence said, adding that from “day one of this administration” Democrats have been “trying to impeach this president because they know they can’t defeat this president.”

Pence continued that Democrats are “trying to impeach this president because they know they can’t defeat this president.”

Pence called tonight’s vote a “partisan impeachment” before he continued with remarks touting the administration’s work on the economy and the military.

Deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley told reporters the President will begin his remarks with a Christmas message — and then he will spend about a third of the speech “talking about what is happening right now with the impeachment scam.”

Back in Washington, House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy had just concluded his closing remarks on the floor of the House arguing "there are no grounds for impeachment."
