A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

PFAW Member,

Chilling. Disturbing. Horrific.

Those are just a few words to describe the evidence, especially video
footage of the violent January 6 siege of the Capitol, being presented in
Trump’s impeachment trial.

Yesterday, the evidence drove home, in starker terms than ever before,
just how out-for-blood the Trump mob was, and how close they came to
actually getting their hands on members of Congress, their staff, and the
former Vice President of the United States.

Our message to every U.S. senator serving as a juror in this trial is
clear:

 1. TRUMP. DID. THIS. This attack on our democracy, this stain on our
country, was of his making.

 2. The idea that our Constitution would shield the person responsible for
this treasonous carnage from accountability – because the president
committed this heinous crime with just a couple of weeks left to his
term – is patently ridiculous, and is an assault on both the
Constitution and common sense.

 3. If you, as a senator and a juror in this impeachment trial, embrace or
hide behind the argument that the timing of the Trump-led insurrection
doesn’t allow the Senate to try and convict him under the
Constitution, then you are both a liar and a coward. And we will fight
to hold YOU accountable for your traitorous betrayal of your country,
your constituents, and your oath of office.

If you’re with us and you’re ready to keep fighting for the accountability
we need in order to move forward as a country, then please make a
3X-matched donation now to ramp up the pressure on U.S. senators
throughout the impeachment trial and to hold accountable the senators who
continue to cover for Trump. (We're still almost $11K short of what we
need to raise in the next 24 hours.)

mob, and his enablers accountable>>



There are right-wing senators, like Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, who
eagerly helped champion Trump’s big lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
They are culpable in their own right for fomenting sedition and serving as
Trump’s accomplices.

Now, an even greater number of senators seem eager to whitewash the
Capitol insurrection to defend Donald Trump.

Some of them – including Hawley and Sens. Rand Paul, Tom Cotton, and both
of Florida’s right-wing senators, among others – have reportedly been
showing tremendous disrespect during the gut-wrenching videos and
presentations of evidence – doodling in notepads with their feet up on the
chairs in front of them while video plays of their colleagues fleeing for
their lives and capitol police officers being brutally assaulted… ^[1] Ted
Cruz was apparently busy tweeting about “breast milk.” ^[2]

One can only speculate as to whether these senators have any sense of
decency or humanity, or if they truly are as depraved as their actions and
behavior suggest.
