An Open Letter to Republican Senators
Originally published by DemCastUSA on October 4, 2019
Dear Senators:
I remember Watergate. I remember that when presented with undeniable evidence of Presidential wrongdoing, Republicans turned away from politics and put the good of our country before their party. I remember a bipartisan House vote on Articles of Impeachment, and a group of Republican Senators who told the President he wouldn’t win a trial in the Senate.
Senators, how will you be remembered? When a president not only admits unethical and illegal behavior, and then repeats that behavior on national TV, will history see you as sycophants who turned their backs on their country? Or, will you bravely stand up for what’s right? There are some among you whose reelection is in question. Now is the perfect time to show your constituents that you will stand up for America and our Constitution. The country is looking to you for honest and ethical leadership. Please don’t let history remember you as having failed us.
Sincerely,
Mindy Schwartz
If McConnell had carried out his elected duty and moved forward in impeachment the first time we wouldn’t be in this mess- but since he was more concerned about his legacy (and how is that working out, Mitch?) we are now in this nightmare of a mess!
A very true statement about how the Republican Party will be remembered! I’m afraid it won’t change any minds, partly because they are IN too deep to let it go, and partly because they are afraid of the “brown shirt” crowd in the party!
Thugs who have sipped the poison laced Koolaid from ‘47 too many times. They are threatening violence against whole families if they don’t conform to Trumpism..
