Here is the oath every member of Congress takes: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Almost every Republican daily violates that oath by defending Trump
Excusing his contacts with Putin, his unconscionable undermining of Ukraine for naked political gain, his blatant corruption, while undermining their own institution. In fifty years in Washington, I have seen nothing close to this betrayal of country for partisan gain.
