Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is set to preside over the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, was taken to a Washington hospital on Tuesday afternoon after “not feeling well,” his spokesman said.

Every single senator has to know it was ANTIFA who initiated and led the attack. The people who did it filmed it and put it all on YoutTube! Everyone else getting the blame came after the Senate was evacuated. If they do not want to accept this they are lying to themselves.

Hospital visit is the best place to catch covid.

[SaveFerris]

Imagine if he repented and told the truth about all that has happened

Praying that he recovers and does so

[Baldwin]

Wonder if he was recently vaccinated.

[spacejunkie2001]

He can do it willingly now or mandatorily later; his choice :)

I hope Patrick gave Mitt a big kiss to thank him for his vote.

No comment other than:

Might I suggest he look at this drug if he has COVID

Suppose, hypothetically, something unfortunate happens. Would the governor of VT do something crazy like choose a Democrat to fill the seat out of “fairness”?

On this somber occasion, I would like to say something nice about the rotten old commie. But I can’t think of anything nice about him. The same is true of most Democrats.

I do know one nice thing about Ted Kennedy (RIP), so I’ll say that instead: “He was born sober.”

LOL!

If it happens, I hope the Republicans can use the opportunity to replace McConnell as their leader.

I keep hoping for stuff like this to happen too, but that is not how the system works.
We're stuck with McConnell 'till he croaks.

Once upon a time, Vermont was a solidly Republican state. That was before Massachusetts liberals decided they wanted to live in a lily-white state.

Old eyes, fat thumbs, iPhone posting makes a nonsense post.

[phoneman08]

IDK who the Republican governor is, but he’s the governor of Vermont. Truly a RINO. He’d probably appoint a Democrat.

[Hyman Roth]

Hopefully his IV will leak

[Jordo]

I think you’re mixed up.

It was New York leftists who ruined Vermont. The Massachusetts leftists ruined New Hampshire.

[Digger]

Watch out for Mutt, Lisa or some other Rino to switch then.

Exactly.That's how the "Two-Party Cartel" operates.

[SaveFerris]

True - you’d think he’d want to repent of PP and scoffing at Romans 1:24-28.

After supporting both for so long.

Leahy’s gods are DC Comics’ superheroes so I doubt that would ever happen. The guy is in reprobate mode; humility is dead when you are that mode.
