Senate Majority Leader and Satan’s turtle, Mitch McConnell, has already called the Democratic move to begin a formal impeachment inquiry “laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense.” The rest of the Republican Senate decided to pretend they were too busy to read nine whole pages—namely the whistleblower complaint that alleges, at minimum, abuses of power by the sitting president of the United States. CNN provided a handy list of Republican senators displaying cowardice on Thursday.
This is arguably the most important, consequential thing that any of these Republicans will ever be a part of. What they decide to do now, how they decide to act, and how brave they are willing to—or not willing to—be are the only actions they will be remembered for in the history books. Yet so far, the Republican Party continues to stay on-brand, and loyal to their big-money masters.
