Friend,
Just this afternoon, with Mitch McConnell at the helm, the Senate pushed aside fairness and the rule of law in favor of raw political interests—and put the long-term interests of our country in the backseat yet again.
It was clear from the overwhelming evidence provided by the House, and the refusal of the White House to provide the witnesses and documents requested, that the president withheld vital national security assistance to Ukraine in order to pressure them to investigate a political opponent.
Our national security is not a bargaining chip. For this reason alone, I would have voted to impeach and convict on both counts.
Republican senators could have forced the president to tell the American people the truth about withholding national security funding through witnesses and the release of documents. Instead, Senator McConnell let the president’s team order potential witnesses to refuse to testify at House hearings in a blatant cover-up of illegal actions.
Even supporters of the president must realize that the conduct of Republican senators during this process was not an act of bravery, but simply a falling in line to avoid being challenged in their own primary for digging too deep.
It now rests in the hands of all of us—the voters of all political stripes—to reject elected officials who don’t have the courage to be more than a rubber stamp for their own political party. We need principled leaders who have the guts to stand up and put country over party.
Today, more than any other day of this campaign so far, I’m asking you to have my back—and our country’s back—in this fight.
Chip in now and let’s go to the mat for our democracy together:
