Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Rice is a conservative member of Congress from South Carolina. He&#8217;s a Republican who&#8217;s been getting lots of grief from his own party for standing up for the rule of law and for casting what he calls a &#8220;most conservative vote&#8221; in favor of the U.S. Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>He voted overwhelmingly for Trump&#8217;s agenda while The Donald was masquerading as POTUS. Then he said enough is enough and voted &#8212; along with nine other Republican House members &#8212; to impeach Trump when he incited the 1\/6 insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, and this is no surprise, Trump has called Rice a &#8220;disaster&#8221; as a member of Congress. Rice laughs it off. He faces a strong challenge in the upcoming state GOP primary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/gop-rep-tom-rice-says-impeaching-trump-was-the-conservative-vote\/ar-AAY6n8c?cvid=e36e3fffa9da4f4a86589bfa7bf1898f\">GOP Rep.

He&#8217;ll stand forever on his vote to impeach Trump because it was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>I am proud of him. Thank you for taking a stand in favor of the Constitution.
