It's astounding and appalling that, out of 211 Republican members of the United States House of Representatives, only two are willing to speak clearly and consistently for democracy and the rule of law today.
Two.
We get more proof every day that Donald Trump weaponized the Department of Justice against his political enemies. This abuse of power is so dangerous and corrosive to our democracy. It undermines the rule of law and it can never happen again.
Watch these same republicans who turned their backs on Air Force veteran Brian Sicknick release statements 'honoring' the men and women in uniform who sacrificed their lives for our safety.
Just to be clear, the Senate did not pass Covid relief. The Democrats in the Senate passed Covid relief. Republicans did nothing but delay and obstruct. After increasing the Federal debt $7T under Trump in a growing economy, their claims of cost are laughable.
The fact that the GOP will happily support an attempted coup but is outraged about expanding voting rights tells you all you need to know about the ethics of the Republican Party.
Sadly, the Republican Party has turned its back on democracy and evolved into an authoritarian party – suppressing the vote, pushing big lies and conspiracy theories. Too many Americans have fought and died to defend our democratic way of life. We cannot and will not fail them.
Trump LOST: the presidency, the House, the Senate, the trust of American voters, the belief in free and fair elections, the credibility of the Republican Party, the admiration of our allies, the fear of our enemies. What exactly are Republicans defending?
The GOP just turns the other way when 100+ officers are injured and 1 dies. And they call themselves the party of "Law & Order" and Blue Lives Matter??? Hahahaha! #impeachmenttrial
At this point, I don’t see how the House doesn’t impeach. Take the vote, throw it in Mitch’s lap, and let the Senate Republicans decide that they want to protect the guy who sent a violent mob to their Chamber.
