Who Are The Brave 7 Republican Senators Who Voted Trump Guilty?

Diversity Makes Greatness
Senator Richard Burr, of North Carolina, [who has already announced he is not running for reelection,] said, in part, in a statement: "The President promoted unfounded conspiracy theories to cast doubt on the integrity of a free and fair election because he did not like the results. As Congress met to certify the election results, the President directed his supporters to go to the Capitol to disrupt the lawful proceedings required by the Constitution. When the crowd became violent, the President used his office to first inflame the situation instead of immediately calling for an end to the assault."
He went on to say, "As I said on January 6th, the President bears responsibility for these tragic events. The evidence is compelling that President Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a coequal branch of government and that the charge rises to the level of high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Therefore, I have voted to convict."

Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana: [does not run for reelection again until 2026.] "Our Constitution and our country is more important than any one person. I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty."

Susan Collins
of Maine, [who does not run for reelection again until 2026,] explained her vote in a speech on the Senate floor, saying, in part, "My vote in this trial stems from my own oath and duty to defend the Constitution of the United States. The abuse of power and betrayal of his oath by President Trump meet the Constitutional standard of high crimes and misdemeanors and for those reasons, I voted to convict."

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who is slated to face voters again in her state as soon as 2022, told reporters later Saturday that she understands her decision to vote to convict Trump could come with electoral consequences but argued she made a decision she thought was best.
"It's not about me," Murkowski said in part. "It's not about me and my life, my job, this is really about what we stand for. And if I can't say what I believe that our president should stand for, then why should I ask Alaskans to?"

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, [who is not up for reelection until 2024,] said, in part, in a statement: "President Trump incited the insurrection against Congress by using the power of his office to summon his supporters to Washington on January 6th and urging them to march on the Capitol during the counting of electoral votes. He did this despite the obvious and well known threats of violence that day. President Trump also violated his oath of office by failing to protect the Capitol, the Vice President, and others in the Capitol."

Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, [who is not up for reelection until 2026,] said, in part, in a lengthy statement on his vote: "On election night 2014, I promised Nebraskans I'd always vote my conscience even if it was against the partisan stream.

Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, [was an Eagle Scout, and not running for reelection next year,] told reporters on a call later Saturday that Trump will "be remembered throughout history as the President who resorted to non-legal steps to try to hold onto power." He said: "No president, or anyone else, has the First Amendment right to incite a violent attack on our government."

These are the Republican Senators who voted Trump Guilty.

They made it a strong majority.

Trump was just 10 votes out of 100 away from being convicted.

Once again, Trump makes a new record: The most bipartisan impeachment conviction vote in US history.

I do, they're all pussies? The thing is thought it's all irrelevant as we knew when they handed down the impeachment there wasn't enough votes for a conviction. It's was all theater. The Dems couldn't care less about America.
 
Murkowski is the bravest one.

I bet she still does well if she runs again in 2022. November 2022 is a long way off.

Plenty of time for plenty to happen.

And, of course, Sarah Palin could try to primary her.
 
The rest of the Republican Senators made a huge political miscalculation. Trump will look even worse in a years time. He might be in jail for the very thing for which he was acquitted. History will vindicate these seven and it will do so before any of them faces the voters again.
 
could be these 7 Senators represent the future of the GOP if the party can withstand this teabillie insurrection, but they'll have to be patient

even if they lose office the next time around they'll still be available to run for pres later on

we don't hear or see many Republicans even discussing the ongoing clusterfuck, definitely a hot potato

so if the conservative vote is split in two, and the democrats keep adding to their membership, how's that gonna work? - the teabillie contingent is roughly 35-40% of the population btw

Yeah letting illegals voters vote will help your cause ill give you that. The problem is leftists ALWAYS overplay their hand and one day in the future you will have your thumb up your ass and you will be scratching your head trying to figure out why you lost again.

Let me ask you as question, you can't figure out how or why any Republican ever wins can you?

Hello Concart,

The rest of the Republican Senators made a huge political miscalculation. Trump will look even worse in a years time. He might be in jail for the very thing for which he was acquitted. History will vindicate these seven and it will do so before any of them faces the voters again.

Yup. He got the kid-gloves treatment.

That won't happen in a criminal court.

He could even get the handcuffs-on-wrists treatment.

The opposite is true. The reds do not care about a crook in office who started an insurrection. You guys want a dictatorship. I hope you do not get it.

Yeah "peacefully and patriotically" is inciting. There is no way to take you idiots seriously. Sorry

If you believe an impeachable offense has occurred, then your job as a member of the House is to vote for the articles of impeachment. There should not be one thought given to whether the Senate will convict. That is what you swore an oath to do. The Trump cult believes the oath should be to Donald Trump. That's why they are censuring Republicans for voting their conscience. There is no place for conscience in the Republican Party. Enough said.

A few still have their consciences intact, and their principles as well.

They will brook no dissenting voices raised against the #MalignantMessiah.

This censure nonsense is really surprising. These little putzes that run the state GOP organizations are looking for their 15 minutes. They are going to pay the price as well.
