As these stories come to light, we realize that every step of the CV response was a screw-up. Everything Trump claimed was a lie. A novice with NO political experience found himself with amazing power, and was drunk with it. Kushner, with Trump acquiescing, was actually making
critical decisions, writing speeches, and dictating policy. This should shock the nation, shock the @GOP leadership, and the @HouseDemocrats. There should be a race to remove Trump, to claim that their party saved the country from certain doom. The GOP could invoke the 25th
Amendment practically overnight. But the @HouseIntel could make the first move, voting to open impeachment hearings into this abdication of responsibility and resulting slaughter. Ultimately, the 25th Amendment requires a 2/3 majority of both Houses of Congress, which would
require bipartisanship. It would send a strong, unified message to the American people that Trump failed us all. That is IMHO exactly what is needed in these tumultuous, tortured times. @VP @SenateGOP @HouseGOP @GOPLeader @senatemajldr @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @gtconway3d
