Today, Senate Republicans put their seal of approval on a lawless presidency and a coordinated cover-up. Only 2 Republicans Senators were willing to put truth and the country above partisanship and vote to hear from relevant witnesses. The rest disgraced themselves and their office by willfully burying their heads in the sand to avoid the shame or scorn that would be inflicted upon them by hearing further facts and witnesses.
The President’s acquittal was pre-determined by the president himself, enforced by a Senate Majority Leader terrified of losing his grip on power, and executed by 50 other Senators concerned only with their job security. Almost 250 years ago, courageous patriots signed their name on a Declaration of Independence that could’ve cost them their lives. Today, 51 Senators, fearing for their careers, signed their names to a cover-up that flies in the face of the Founders’ vision.
With the Senate’s rubber stamp of Trump’s latest foreign election interference scheme, they’ve paved the way for more and worse plots against our free and independent elections. While many took the opportunity to wag their fingers and meekly disagree with the President’s behavior, their refusal to hear from witnesses, even as new information broke in the news, proved that any future effort by the president to wield American power for his gain will not only be permitted, it will be uninvestigated.
The Senate’s great folly must not be America’s folly. If the Republican Senate is unwilling to do it’s duty, the American people must do ours. That means putting aside partisanship and political self-interest, coming together in a cross partisan coalition that rejects foreign election interference and the politicians who welcome it.
We must stand up now, and stand strong throughout 2020, to do the work that 51 Senators obstinately refused to do: pursue the truth, hold the powerful to account and defend our right of self-governance.
