Trump’s MAGA mob endangered GOP lawmakers. They don’t care.The GOP senators who came into the impeachment trial determined to vote for acquittal are betraying their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Wednesday’s evidence makes clear that they are also betraying themselves. The lives of Senate Republicans were endangered and their jobs disrupted because of Trump’s lies, and most of them won’t do anything about it. You would think simple self-preservation would be a stronger motivator, but no. Why? Perhaps it’s a Trump-flavored form of Stockholm syndrome. Maybe they figure it’s the only way they can keep their jobs. It is not out of the question that some Republicans are afraid of even more violence from the former president’s supporters if they don’t vote in his favor.The reasons don’t matter. The result is the same. Trump will face no penalty from the United States Senate for inspiring insurrection. That’s a sign that the danger still hasn’t entirely receded. -- source link
