“Congressman Larry Hogan, Sr. of Maryland’s 5th Congressional District was the first and only Republican to vote for all three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon following the Watergate Scandal.”

From Larry Hogan

The fact that Representative Larry Hogan lost reelection in 1974 in a year when House Republicans lost over 30 seats, should give you an idea that Representative Hogan actually believed in what he was doing here. Because it didn’t help him politically.

And you could argue that Representative Hogan was going to lose anyway, because he represented a very Democratic district, where President Richard Nixon wasn’t very popular. You would have to think that voting for the impeachment of President Nixon, who even during the impeachment debate, was still very popular in the Republican Party, couldn’t have helped Representative Hogan, because doing that cost him Republican votes in his own district.
