June. The Good Riots
Posted on 01/12/2021 4:06:58 PM PST by SeekAndFind
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced Tuesday that he will not vote to convict in President Trump's second impeachment trial as the House moves to impeach over Trump's role in last week's riot at the Capitol.
Scott echoed claims by other GOP lawmakers that impeaching and removing the president on charges of inciting insurrection would further deepen political divisions in the U.S.
"The Democrat-led impeachment talks happening in the House right now fly in direct opposition to what President-elect Joe Biden has been calling for all year," Scott tweeted Tuesday. "An impeachment vote will only lead to more hate and a deeply fractured nation."
House Democrats have said they will pass a single article of impeachment on Wednesday in response to last week's siege on the Capitol by Trump supporters who the Democrats say were egged on by the president.
Some of Scott's GOP Senate colleagues have called for the president to resign, although none have yet said they will vote to convict.
Republican Sens. Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) have called for the president's resignation, while The New York Times reported Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he believes the president committed impeachable offenses.
On the House side, Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) became the first Republican to say he will vote for impeachment on Tuesday. The president was impeached in 2019 with no House Republican support.

Senator from Laodicia representing the lukewarm cohort.
Gee, that’s mighty white of him.
Scott is trying to set up a run for POTUS. What a fool.
‘
The GOP wants the Impeachment on his record.
See Scalise, Cheney. Graham, Murky, Cornyn, and many more idiots,
They won’t convict because they can’t run from hard evidence like that. They are encouraging the House,
They’ll get to him.......the Republicans who are the disgusting cowards that is......the left won’t have to lift a finger
I bet Gregg Popovich was the source for the Slimes article. He claims to be good at reading the minds of politicians.
this PC-POS! VOMIT

Thank you
This kinda surprises me.
He must be running for president.
Gowdy has dropped hints on FNC that this is the plan.
That’s mighty white of you Tim, but you voted to sanction unlimited voter fraud, and disenfranchised 80 million Trump supporters. Voter fraud is coming for you. Reap what you have sown.
De nada. Trump upset the Bipartisan gravy train of the career politicians who have known nothing but “public service” their entire lives.
Why, so they can panic again? Screw them.
Let me write the narrative: first Black president from the South since Reconstruction; son of a share cropper.
Good for him. I'll never vote for another Republican as long as I live. They disenfranchised all of us Trump supporters, and I hope every single traitor is picked off by the voter fraud they sanctioned.
A lot of good Scott turned out to be.
He could have made a real impact. Instead he refused to openly dispute the election results.
Hack.

So you don’t want them to come back?
Why? Maybe I’m slow, but haven’t read any articles about this.
