Dear MoveOn member,
Senate Republicans voted yesterday to conclude Donald Trump's impeachment
trial without hearing from a single witness.^1
First, Republicans said there was no quid pro quo and that Trump's phone
call with Ukraine was "perfect."
Then, they said there might have been a quid pro quo, but it was to
prevent corruption in Ukraine, not to get a foreign government to help
with Trump's re-election.
And now, finally, Republicans are saying, "Yep, he did it. And we just
don't care."
Barring some radical and stunning new developments, the Republican-led
Senate will soon try to end this sham trial with a total cover-up of
Trump's high crimes and misdemeanors—and without hearing what a single
witness had to say.
What an absolute and total disgrace.
There's only one solution left to save our democracy and hold Trump
accountable: We need to make sure that this shameless cover-up ends the
political careers of Trump, Mitch McConnell, Cory Gardner, Martha McSally,
Susan Collins, Joni Ernst, and every other Senate Republican who enabled
this outrage.
Will you donate $5 a month to help defeat Donald Trump and
the Senate Republicans who just voted to cover-up Trump's crimes without
hearing from a single witness?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help defeat Donald Trump and end
Republican control of the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
What we're witnessing is truly shocking, even by GOP standards.
After months of denials, excuses, and transparent lies from Trump ...
After a mountain of evidence proving the case that, yes, Trump did exactly
what he was accused of doing ... After Trump and his attorneys basically
admitted it on the floor of the Senate ...
Republicans simply shrugged and said, "We don't care."
But guess what? They don't get the last word. Voters do. And even before
this disaster, Republicans up for re-election this November were in deep,
deep trouble.
Of the seven most unpopular U.S. senators in the country, five of them are
Republicans up for re-election this November: McConnell, Gardner, McSally,
Collins, and Ernst. And they all are facing serious Democratic
challengers.
And they all just participated in rigging the Senate trial to assure that
Trump would be let off the hook without testimony from a single witness.
Even Collins, who said she supported "a witness or two," only announced
her vote in favor of witnesses after it was clear that McConnell had the
votes he needed NOT to call any witnesses. Just who does she think she's
fooling?
Now it's up to us to hold Trump and his Senate Republican cover-up caucus
accountable. Will you chip in $5 a month to help vote them
out in November?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help defeat Mitch McConnell and the other
Republicans who covered up Trump's crimes without hearing from a single
witness.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
John, after the final vote is taken, Trump and McConnell will
gloat and celebrate.
On Tuesday, Trump will give his State of the Union Address and brag about
his impending "total exoneration."
It will be galling. It will be outrageous. It might even make you want to
open up your window and yell, "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take
it anymore!"
But we're not going to just sit back and take it. We're going to start
organizing now to win in November. We will take back our country and make
them pay. Will you help out by chipping in $5 a month?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Together, we can defeat Trump and end GOP control of the Senate. And for
the future of our democracy and our country, we must.
Thanks for all you do.
