House Dems Warn Of What Could Happen If Trump Isn’t Held Accountable | Morning Joe | MSNBC
If Republicans condemn Trump, they condemn themselves.
Again…..you will not find 17 honest Republicans in the US Senate. Get used to that. I’m am.
Democracy die today ! impunity and disavow of Republicans just failed to serve an protect the constitution and most importantly to serve and protect the interests of the American people they represent. So be careful what you wish for Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell and Josh Hawley remember this day Because you betray your own party in order to advance your own career. But most importantly you betray your own Country.
are judging Trump but the world is judging you. How you handle your own insurrection your own corruption that he brought upon you with his administration.
Republicans are willing to commit a crime by not condemning the undeniable. Where’s their integrity? They should know they will go down in history as traitors to the constitution and to the oath they took to uphold and protect the American people. Where are your values? You are willing to turn the blind eye into the criminal behavior they themselves live , and their own willingness to put their personal gain and interests above the wellbeing of the country. And the trust of the World in what use to be an example of democracy.
Republicans are asking to forgive and forget the attack to the most sacred place for American democracy? Something that his fierce leader create by lying fir months, They should force Trump to testify under oath? Because Trump took advantage of the American people by lying time and time again prior to jan 6 , all this will go down in history because he was not able to concede the results of the 2020 election results? And he was desperate to retain power at any cost.
This is about to show the American people that nobody is above the law not even the President, If the Republicans would like to have some credibility and be able to demonstrate to the American they do care they need to be remember they took the ought to protect and serve the American people not to protect and be loyal to Trump so disgraceful to even think they are afraid impeachment history will judge them they cannot condemn and then a couple weeks later try to pedal back their own statements. Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell
The fallout from the insurrection has been compounded by the death suicide and a Covid outbreak that has infected dozens of people within the Capitol significant physical wounds and countless others are dealing with the psychological trauma of that day
It’s time for Trump to finally learn the lesson and to learn that words and actions do have repercussions even more when you are the President of the most powerful country, Republicans
This is the time to show the American people that no one is above the law not even the President and to show the world, America is ready to rebuild from within, Trump needs to be hold accountable not forgive and forget?
Where’s your oath to defend and uphold the constitution he incited the people he tried a coupe d’état, in American soile against the American people.
This is not about Trump , It’s about setting an example for future Presidents. Not to encourage them to become worst. Do not forget he put your own Republicans lives in danger if you think this was not bad or dangerous why you left the building ? Why you where hiding ? You cannot pedal back like Lindsey Graham saying one day one thing and another day well what happened was bad but he is our leader ? And he is now a citizen? What about the people who died what about the people inside the Capitol forget about if they are Democrats or Republicans they are human beings and you know what happened that day needs to be punishable.
If you care for your party and you believe in the constitution along the democracy do the right thing and convict Trump punish and disagree his deplorable conduct do the right thing by defend and uphold the American values you ought to defend.
The world is watching but most importantly the American the people who got you elected to be their voice in each and every state of a wonderful Nation is watching don’t fail them.
So much for the republican sence of honor , truth and justice. I won’t hold my breath, BUT miracles has been known to happen.
A TRILLION TIMES IT WAS INTENTIONAL. NO EMPATHY POSSIBLE.
WE ALL WITNESSED THE INTENTIONAL CRUEL STEPS, WITHIN THESE PAST FOUR HORRIFIC YEARS OF TRAUMA FOR WE THE PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR MINDFUL REPORTING. FULL STOP. PERIOD. ALL OF US IMPACTED ON A TRAUMATIC LEVEL.
Somebody please explain to me why Mike Pence is not coming out publicly now to denounce Trump and the people that supported the insurrection. And why is he not speaking out publicly to support the conviction of Trump inciting an insurrection at the Capitol during the impeachment Senate trial?
Pence has obviously seen the new evidence and videos and phone calls that implicate Trump and Pence’s near demise ( they erected a Gallows for crying out loud and called for him to be strung up in public) and his family’s risk of great harm or death?
Please tell me why he is MIA at this point? Does he really prefer the support a murderous group for a 2024 presidential bid over his own family’s safety and his own life? What am I missing?
Republicans are all about self-preservation. If it was Graham, Hawley, Cruz, McConnell or McCarthy that had been beaten to death or near-death by the mob, then and only then would they vote in favor of conviction. That’s the whole ballgame; if bad things don’t happen to them directly, they don’t give a sh*t.
If I was on a public forum and said with conviction, “Hang Mike Pence.” the law would be at my door, my belongings rifled through, my computer and phone taken, and most likely a guard posted outside my house. BUT When the president of the United States says it from his position of authority, HE GETS A PASS ?!!
It’s Hitler and his Nazi party all over again. Have we not learned from history?
It will be another sad day in America if the thug DJT walks free from justice after his call for insurrection in the Capitol building.
I hope all voters remember this! Vote Blue
The problem is how old Donald J Trump will be in 4 years? Be get your old people at home.
It was REVENGE that was in Donald Trump’s heart!!
You know if it was a Dem president doing this Dem senators would find this Dem President guilty
That’s the difference
Democrats know they’re not going to prove their case to the Republicans in the Senate. What they have done is to prove their case to the American people, to history and to the world. Brits and Europeans are in no doubt as to Trump’s responsibility or his bad character.
Democrats should have left room to finish their clothes after Trump’s attorneys
i would have done more – present witnesses – Georgia’s Raffensberger, Vice-President Pence…of course the Democrats have their reasons like Biden does not want a protracted battle. that is not enough for me. i would have presented so that the republicans are forced, at the very least, to look at the face in the mirror and, surprise, see themselves…blessings to all
The corrupt lying cheating Republican Party is destroying America. Wake up America don’t ever vote for a republican ever again.
Trump did everything but pick up the insurrectionists with Air Force One. He invited them, incited them, and set them loose on the Capitol building. And then, he sat back and watched in glee as they did the damage.
The problem is, people are assuming this is a matter of if the Senate KNOWS what happened. But the question is, do the Republicans CARE about what happened? The answer is, sadly, no.
They should have reiterated, this wasn’t about just his last speech. He’s being impeached for ALL his behaviors since Nov 3rd.
If Obama would’ve pulled this stunt he would be hanging from a tree already! This country is so biased….SMH!
It will never be over as long as kids are taught that blacks and Mexicans and all others non-white are taking over the country. That is why they are above the law, they are fighting what they see as a total threat to their white personas. And now they are showing themselves who and what they are about. Hence the rioters were so many of them white supremacists. How to change the minds of people who see threats where none exist? I do not know. I just don’t see a way.
Total BS. Edited video. Lies. Deceit. BS Democrats.
