Listening to the debate through the day, we heard two very different realities from Democrats (joined by a handful of Republicans) and the GOP: a) Trump incited the angry mob and should be impeached or b) He is not responsible for their actions and shouldn't be held responsible \
.@RepDavidKustoff voted against #Impeachment2 & said in a news release: "Our country is in the middle of a global pandemic & the American people are struggling. We must focus our efforts on unifying our country & supporting a peaceful transition of power on January 20th.” \
North Carolina is a Purple State with a reddish hue. Its congressional delegation, predictably, remains split on #Impeachment2. The 5 @NCDemParty members will vote YEA: @GKButterfield, @RepDavidEPrice, @RepAdams @DeborahRossNC, @KathyManningNC. @ABC11_WTVD #ncpol #CapitolRiots
The eight @NCGOP members - all of whom voted to challenge the #ElectoralCollege votes & @Transition46’s victory - appear likely to all vote NAY on #Impeachment2. They all condemn riot (& some blame Trump), none will defect. @ABC @ABCPolitics @ABC11_WTVD @rickklein @jonkarl #ncpol
.@RepDanBishop: “Last week’s violence was abhorrent & perpetrators must be prosecuted... Congress can condemn, revile or censure speech. But to PUNISH speech the #FirstAmendment clearly protects violates the Constitution & abandons rule of law.” @ABC11_WTVD #ncpol
