Several tweets from prominent figures criticize Republican candidates for defending Donald Trump despite his alleged violations of the Constitution. The tweets express disappointment in the Republicans' refusal to hold Trump accountable for his actions, citing instances where they failed to convict him after impeachment. The criticism centers on the belief that the Republicans prioritize their political interests over upholding the law and democracy.
At least 10 additional Republican Senators believed Trump guilty on the second impeachment. They just thought voting so was dangerous for them electorally and, in the end, it wouldn't matter because he'd never be re-elected. Lesson: do the right thing in the moment.
Senate Republicans had their chance back in 2021 to do the right thing. They shouldโve convicted Trump after he was impeached. They couldโve taken Trump out. Privately, they wanted to. But they chickened out. Cowards.
A reminder that when we voted to bar donald trump from office for life, 93% of republicans voted no and voted to let him run again. Trump violated the Constitution by trying to overthrow democracy but republicans refused to do their duty. https://t.co/Wq57cXJeA0
Trump Republicans have shown us again & again that they reject the law, they reject the Constitution, they reject telling the truth & they reject democracy. If they want someone in power they don't care how power is attained & they will lie about their own beliefs to get there. https://t.co/dzP4UHTSOs
