Senator Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee) called the Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump an ’unconstitutional show trial.’ Talking to Fox News, Hagerty said the Democrats are using it to humiliate Trump and shame the 74 million people who voted for him into conformity. He also rebuked Democrats for ’choosing to stop the work of the Senate in the middle of a pandemic’ for this trial.
It is not to shame Trump. It is to prevent what happened from happening again. It is not to force his followers into submission. We are all free to believe what we choose. However, we all must accept majority rule. That is the foundation of our democracy
It is kind of interesting to consider how things would have been w/o covid. Citizens would have been allowed to be present during the proceedings, so none of this BS coup stuff. Of course w/o covid there wouldn't have been rigged mail-in vote, so no Sniffy "victory" and no impeachment. Instead we got all the bad and unless we snap out of this downward spiral we'll be licking the sweat off of Xi Jinping's balls somewhere down the road.
I've read the constitution... First off... It only applies to sitting offices....That's why Nixon resigned and previously William Blount's impeachment was dropped because he had already left office.... In addition, the chief Justice is supposed to preside... "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside:" ... This farce is nothing more than political theater. If Trump could be convicted of an actual crime, the DC prosecutor could charge him.
“... choosing to stop the work of the Senate in the middle of a pandemic”? That’s rich.
The Democrats just haven’t noticed that Donald Trump is not President anymore. For four years he’s been the only thing in their head and now he’s gone they don’t know where to direct their hate. Soon it will be directed at anyone that worked with President Trump. Then anyone that donated to President Trump. The anyone that voted for President Trump.
Senator Bill Hagerty is so wrong about it being the Democrat that's humiliating Trump. He did that all by himself. Trump is selfish and hateful, he's tweeted so much about the "stop the steal" and tweeting 11 time about Pence, yes he threw his own vice president under the bus. He encourage his followers to fight for Trump. Not for America, but for Trump only, now a lot of them are arrest and blaming Trump. All this damaged,death and stupid actions, that happen at the Capitol was done because of him. Theses senators want admit the Truth, that Trump incited a riot, a attack on the Capitol. They rather stay down the rabbit hole.
Why would Democrats want to interfere in what Trump and supporters are already great at?
Yes you bet. It is an easy job. You just show how he behaves. A narcissistic disloyal egomaniac. Ask Mike Pence And his supporters? Cultists with no capacity for any thinking
On January 6th people tried to tell them it's winter of love Don't understand why these regressive fat cats barricaded them self It's a black magic to me.
A, it's been voted constitutional B, it hasn't stopped the admittedly slow process of passing laws.
This has nothing to do with shaming voters. American voters are not on trial from holding office in the future for violating their oath of office. 🤦♂️
They should be thouroughly shamed for bringing so much dishonor to our country! For pretending to be patriotic when they don’t know it’s history, swinging that terrorist flag calling it their heritage! Shame on all of them
A politician who speaks the truth I love it listen to him Palouse and stop putting america through this end your vendetta and let america heal
It's impossible to shame the shameless. It requires them to have an ounce of sense and critical thought capabilities.
There’s no need they seem to be able to accomplish that on their own
Yes please humiliate them, they need to grow up.
You should be humiliated and ostracized for storming the capitol and trying to stop an election. Pretty simple.
