@RizDan94 @adamcbest Well, except the the Mueller report did not "totally exonerate" the president and, in fact, spelled out how Trump team was collusion curious. So, Dems stood on pretty firm ground with that claim. Reaffirmed by the Ukraine call. Trump likes to cheat.
Not really a double standard.
@adamcbest Exactly this. Unity would be top Republicans going out in front of National TV together and saying unequivocally that the election was not stolen, admit they have been fanning the flames, and commit to holding their own accountable for the role they played in the insurrection.
@LindseyGrahamSC There can be no healing until people are held accountable. That means Trump gets, at the very very very least, his name dishonored in the halls of history. So that the next time this happens, whoever it is, will know there is precedent and the Congress will act.
Republican elected officials have spent the last two months feeding their voters lies about the election, then, when those lies were used to justify an attempted coup, said that it was everybody elseโs responsibility to convince their voters that these lies are not true.
@RepMattGaetz Listen. Actions have consequences. Maybe had you and your DJT enablers been more responsible none of this would have happened. No one feels sorry for you guys. And this is also a weird hill to die on right now.
Obama chose not to pursue that policy problem or the bad actors. He chose to forgive and forget, and relieved Republicans repaid his mercy with 8y of maximal resistance to the rest of his agenda, the gradual dismantling of his trifecta, and eventually with Donald Trump.
.@tedcruz again, you are lying.
Pull the Clerk record. I proudly voted for the resolution against antisemitism you cite.
Your statements are growing increasingly erratic and unfounded in fact.
I do not call all my opponents Nazis. But rest assured, Neo-Nazis are my opponents.
Letโs be very clear.
The officials urging for no serious consequences after Wednesdayโs attack on our country - including the impeachment, removal, expulsion, and/or indictment of officials who aided, abetted, or incited the attack - are opening the door for it to happen again.
.@realDonaldTrump has done everything he can, up to an including inciting an insurrection, to keep from leaving office in defeat.
Now heโs leaving office in utter disgrace-and possible legal jeopardy.
