Every Republican in the Capitol tonight who voted to let Trump off the hook for trying to extort Ukraine by withholding vital military aid, who defended him when he argued we should draw down troops in NATO, who tried to dismiss his service to Putin...
...who took Russian money laundered through the NRA, who tried to paper over the Russian effort to meddle in our elections, who did not condemn Trump when he chose to support Putin over our intelligence community, who has refused to condemn Trump for calling Putin a "genius"...
...who meekly accepted Fox News and Trump allies offering Putin talking points on the eve of the commission of a wave of war crimes, who helped advance Putin's agenda of weakening the US by defending Trump's efforts to attack our democracy...
...every single one of them has blood on their hands today. Every single one has sided with our enemies against the interests and values of the United States. Every single one of them has declared themselves through their actions to be anti-American and anti-democracy.
Do not let their posturing or their Ukrainian flag pocket squares or their self-righteous & insupportable efforts to attack the Biden Administration distract from this. At few times in our history have so many senior political leaders so betrayed our country so often for so long.
