And the list goes on and on and on. The point is that the @GOP has chosen to keep this horrible, corrupted, deceitful, vengeful broken man as their

leader. And they have, unequivocally, betrayed the people of America in their blind lust for power. They have, by acquitting him in the Senate, broken their oaths of office, instead giving their allegiance to a tyrant, that is rapidly dismantling all checks on his power.

They allow us to die in genocidal numbers. They choose to not stand up for science, data, and the experts. They are not protecting our precious lives, our families and friends. By standing by, they become guilty of all of his crimes. Depraved indifference to human life.

Criminally negligent manslaughter. Needless economic disaster due to a horribly botched response to containing the virus - that REQUIRED we close down social activity all together. That is on the GOP, too.

Their only path to even partial vindication would be to convene the

Cabinet, and remove him from power with the 25th Amendment. Ladies and gentlemen of the Republican Congress, have you no decency? Have you no love for the American people? Do you no longer care for the Constitution, with its checks and balances on the power of the President?

Will you stand mute while Trump finishes accreting absolute power? Don't you understand that he will also be taking away your ability to have any oversight on his actions? Don't you understand that he will toss any and all of you aside like a piece of trash, should you dare to

cross him? Look backwards, and count up the victims. Are you willing to lose your friends and family to a deadly plague? Are you willing to have your family name to be shamed for all of history? Do you not care that your children and grandchildren will look on you in shame?

Will you be the Party that lead, with eyes fully open, to the undoing of a republic that has survived for 250 years - for the sake of one delusional man - who never possessed the skills to lead our nation in the first place? Most of you decried him as a bigot, a racist, a

pathological liar, a xenophobe, and a misogynist when he ran for office. Most of you said you could never support him as your candidate. You KNEW he was dangerous, crooked, and corrupt. Yet, here, at the end, you see what he has wrought. May a deep shame scar you for the rest

of your lives. You no longer have the honor to be a representative of we the people, for you have abandoned us - broken and devastated - for a King with a dark heart and an empty soul. For that, you will be forever branded as traitors to your country. @TheDemCoalition @DNCWarRoom
