Not a loyal Republican like his father, Pratt Remmel, Jr., is an outspoken advocate for the [[impeachment]] of [[U.S. President]] [[Donald Trump]]. In a 2017 letter to the ''Arkansas Democrat-Gazette,'' Remmel said that if Trump were a Democrat, the Republicans would be trying to impeach him. Remmel voiced his specific objection to Trump's skepticism about the validity of the [[climate change]] debate. He called Trump an "incompetent and dangerous president .. Being a climate-change denier seriously degrades his capability to lead our nation."[38]
