V.I. Delegate Donna M. Christian-Christensen joined women members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other women’s organizations to decry the appearance of live witness testimony for President Clinton's impeachment trial.
Christensen and the group spoke out against the possible appearance of Monica Lewinsky and others in the Senate chambers, according to a release from her office.
“There is absolutely no legitimacy to this kind of proceeding," Christensen said. "Such a vote would be a violation of the constitution, a repudiation of all the Congress has stood for and an affront to the people of this country.”
Christensen said she has expressed her continued support for President Clinton to remain in office on numerous occasions.
“Throughout this ordeal, I have often worn a button that reads ‘Committed to Clinton,’" she said. "I wear it on behalf of my constituents in the Virgin Islands, and others who have judged this president as our friend.”
