Publicly several Republican senators were rather candid when describing Donald Trump’s guilt during his impeachment trial
- 4 years ago
Publicly, several Republican senators were rather candid when describing Donald Trump’s guilt during his #impeachment trial. Sen. #LamarAlexander (R-Tenn.) conceded his party’s president “crossed the line” with his illegal extortion scheme. Sen. #LisaMurkowski (R-Alaska) described the president’s behavior as “shameful and wrong.” Sen. #MittRomney (R-Utah) said #Trump is “guilty of appalling abuse of public trust.”
Obviously, comments like these should make it difficult for the #WhiteHouse and its allies to characterize yesterday’s acquittal votes as a complete exoneration. But they also raise a related point: if this is how some GOP senators are speaking in public, what might they be saying in private?
Two weeks ago, when the impeachment trial was just getting underway, Sen. #SherrodBrown (D-Ohio) told the Washington Post, “I hear from individual #Republicans about how troubled they are, that they really are becoming convinced” of Trump’s guilt. He added, “The question is, how afraid are they of this #president?”
