Instead of showing courage, all but one Republican senator today exemplified cowardice. In putting party and politics over country and Constitution, Republicans drove a stake in the heart of our democracy. #ImpeachedPresident

The case for convicting and removing President Trump was overwhelming and irrefutable. The House did its job and Donald Trump will forever be an impeached President.

#ForeverImpeached

Trump endangered the sanctity of our elections by inviting foreign interference in our most sacred democratic institution. He betrayed our national security, violated the sacred trust of the American people and threatened the very future of our democracy.

At every turn, the President and his Administration obstructed the House—refusing to turn over even a single document or provide even a single witness.

Since the House impeached President Trump, more and more damning information about his abuse of power has come to light.

Instead of pursuing the full truth, Senate Republicans eagerly enlisted themselves to be the President’s co-conspirators—covering up the President’s misconduct without even caring to find out the extent of his misconduct. #ImpeachedForLife

It is a disgrace that Mitch McConnell refused to give the American people what they deserve and what the Constitution demands: a fair trial with witnesses and impartial justice. #ImpeachedForLife #ImpeachedAndNotExonerated

President Trump will be held accountable one way or another—whether through the courts or the ballot box—and the American people and history will not forget the Republicans’ cowardice. #ImpeachedPresident #ImpeachedAndNotExonerated #ImpeachedForLife
