        Important to recall how long it took them to reach that point. They weren’t heroes. They were reluctant bearers of the bad news.

        Idk about this. Even in ‘74 a lot of GOP Congressmen/Senators were reluctant to see Nixon off. Especially Goldwater.

        This act of patriotism over partisanship will not be repeated by the current crop of moral invertebrates.

        #VoteGOPOut #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica We use the one tool left the Founders gave us. Our vote. We vote Democrat to rebalance the scales without Putin's thumb on it.

        Back when Republicans were willing to put their country over their party. You owe it to your constituents (and country) to learn from this, @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy. #CA23 #Bakersfield #Ridgecrest #Arvin #Tehachapi #Rosamond #Lancaster #QuartzHill #LakeIsabella #Porterville

        Don’t get carried away. It took years and the inevitability of impeachment for them to tell Nixon his time was up.

        It took evidence - the tapes.

        Trump has been openly obstructing justice. He admitted to the Trump Tower meeting to obtain info from Russia about his opponent - clearly illegal. #GOP knows, they just won't grow a spine.

        This is photographic evidence of three republicans with character, taken prior to the species extinction.

        There is not one Republican that will vote to impeach this president. Not one.
