If John McCain were still living he would have been the eighth GOP senator to vote for conviction on Saturday. Not a doubt in my mind.
Our two U.S Senators from Oklahoma…James Lankford and Jim Inhofe were nowhere to be scene as far as exhibiting any courage whatsover.
As in none.
Here’s what is really sad about this…Jim Inhofe was a John Kasich supporter during the 2016 GOP primaries, while James Lankford, the quintessential Heritgage Foundation type, was either a Little Marco Rubio or Low Energy Jeb Bush supporter. But he was never a Donald Trump guy.
So here it is …. the Dems do all the heavy lifting and these two go silent in the night without a whimper after Lankford gives himself cover with all his drama after the Trump directed riot which has to date resulted with seven innocent human beings losing their lives.
I thought the GOP per their stance on pro-life would be the political party which you know might value a human life. Seems to me a very substantial contradiction of philosophy.
Anyway… as an American I want to say thank you to Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Bill Cassidy, Pat Toomey, and Richard Burr.
Thank you for doing the right thing while putting your country in front of your political career… because as Mitt Romney already knows—you will be receiving some heavy heat from your constituents for pretty much however long you remain active in politics.
History in the end will say all that needs to be said about these political cowards.
How do you think history would have treated Bush 41-then RNC Chair, Barry Goldwater, and Howard Baker if they’d rolled over like common street whores to Richard Nixon instead of removing him from office?
That was rhetorical. Answer it to yourself as you see fit.
