Sen. Mitch McConnell: "They were provoked by the president."
Sen. Roy Blunt: "I think it was a tragic day, and he was part of it."
Sen. Mike Rounds: "If anything he urged ... inappropriate action by people that appear to be his supporters."
These GOP senators admitted that Trump is to blame for the violent mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6. And yet along with all but 6 of their colleagues, they voted not to even hold Trump's impeachment trial -- and eventually voted to acquit him.
By condemning Trump verbally but not legally, Republican senators are deciding that the violence that disrupted our democratic process, fostered white supremacy and conspiracy theories nationwide, and had their colleagues and staffers running for their lives was permissible.
They're trying to play both sides, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to reconcile Trump's role in the violence with the idea that he should be let off scot-free.
At When Democrats Turn Out, we're as frustrated with the hypocrisy of the Republican Party as you are. That's why we're already gearing up to support the progressive candidates who will challenge these corrupt GOPers in 2022 and turn out blue voters nationwide.
Together, we can unseat the Republicans who voted against truth, justice, and democracy. We can show the GOPers who voted against Trump's impeachment that their hypocritical words won't make us forget what side of history they chose -- but to do that, we need you on our team. Please, if you're with us, donate now so we can start preparing to give the Trump loyalists in our government a run for their money. >> [link removed]
