Coons: ‘Disheartening’ that There Won’t Be Votes to Remove Trump in Senate
Breitbart ^ | 11/26/2019 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 11/27/2019 6:00:08 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that he will weigh the evidence in front of him if there is a trial of President Trump in the Senate, and that he finds it “disheartening” that there do not appear to be the votes to remove the president if the case comes to the Senate.

Coons said, “Well, as a senator, the pledge I’m going to take is to weigh all the evidence in front of me. So far, I haven’t seen any evidence that’s exculpatory, that would explain the president’s perspective. That’s why I hope he does testify, or that he does have his secretary of State or acting OMB director — or chief of staff, excuse me, testify. I haven’t seen any evidence that gives the president’s side or that explains his conduct as anything other than inappropriate. From what I’ve heard publicly and privately, I don’t think there will be the votes to remove him if this does come to an impeachment trial in the Senate, and to me, that’s disheartening. Because it removes guardrails on presidential misconduct.”

"So far, I haven’t seen any evidence that’s exculpatory, that would explain the president’s perspective."

That he's innocent. To Democrats, all Republicans are automatically guilty of whatever smears they spread amongst themselves.

“Does he know his name is racist?”

When Coons tried to get in our back porch, Momma just chase ‘em off with a broom!

Glad to hear it, Coons. May that feeling of despair propagate throughout the Marxist left resulting in a Jonestown-style cocktail party.

First Coon's position is: ...he [Coons] finds it “disheartening” that there do not appear to be the votes to remove the president if the case comes to the Senate.

Then the guy goes on to say, "Well, as a senator, the pledge I’m going to take is to weigh all the evidence in front of me."

This is the patently corrupt political garbage we're dealing with. And the American people now it.

Democrats pretend to be so concerned about the rule of law and attempt to claim the moral high ground, yet their own words prove that this is nothing more than a nakedly corrupt political lynching designed to get Trump because they LOST in 2016, and they will not gain the White House in 2020.

Sen Coons revealed as one of the slimy dogs during the Kavanaugh hearings. Washington is full of savages.

It always makes my day to see scumbums like coons “disheartened”. I am disheartened by the fact that LIB nitwits in delaware elected this freakin’ idiot.

Yet he is not troubled by the fact that he hasn't seen any evidence that's culpatory either.

“So far, I haven’t seen any evidence that’s exculpatory, that would explain the president’s perspective.”

Could that be because Schiff called only witnesses for the persecution; barred the Republicans from calling rebuttal witnesses; stopped his witnesses from answering pertinent questions; prevented testimony by the “whistleblower”/exposure of the plot to gin up this issue; disallowed any discussion of the corruption that Trump was asking Ukraine to investigate; etc.?

They remove Trump for what amounts to disagreements on policy, elections don’t matter anymore.

These people are insane.

Not waiting for the trial, he has ALREADY made up his mind!
