.@Jim_Jordan opens GOP's defense not by defending Trump's war on the election or his incitement of a seditious mob. Instead, he attacks impeachment: "It's always been about getting the president." He says, "They want to cancel the president." He makes this about "cancel culture." https://t.co/DMQCPyhPfM — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi opens the #impeachment debate: "He must go. He is a clear and present danger." Will any House Republican defend Trump and challenge this assessment? https://t.co/BCtL5ctDyy — PolitiTweet.org

Holding someone accountable for violence will lead to more violence? Is this law and order, @LindseyGrahamSC? This is how you let the terrorists win. — PolitiTweet.org

This is what Donald Trump and everyone who supported has done to this country. Shame on them all. — PolitiTweet.org

House Republicans did not use all the time they had in the first part of the #impeachment debate. This means that they ran out of GOPers who wanted to speak. How often does a House member not want television/debate time? Never. This is telling. — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepMcGovern slams @Jim_Jordan for refusing to say "the election was not stolen." He adds: "The Capitol was stormed, people died because of the big lies that were being told [by Trump & GOPers]....If this is not an impeachable offense, I don't know what the hell is." https://t.co/4UUC8pGxT1 — PolitiTweet.org

GOP @RepNancyMace says she hold Trump "accountable." But she says, "There is violence on both sides of the aisle." And opposing impeachment, she quotes MLK Jr.: "The time is always right to do what's right." Damn, this is confusing--and wrong. https://t.co/l87ntrNeAx — PolitiTweet.org

So sad they have to be there. But that is what Donald Trump and every one of his supporters have brought upon the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

GOP @TomColeOK04 says that if the House defeats the impeachment resolution, he will immediately introduce a bill to set up a bipartisan commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Trump-incited attack. That's a good idea and much-needed--with or without #impeachment. https://t.co/stC9uYQTuw — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

While arguing the Dems should have chosen an option other than impeachment, GOP @TomColeOK04 notes that Trump is expect to "face litigation" over his role in the Jan. 6 attack. https://t.co/J9c04eWTSm — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

GOP @TomColeOK04 claims this impeachment does not afford Donald Trump "due process." Of course, he quotes @JonathanTurley. Blames Democrats for being divisive. Cole was one of 147 Republicans who voted to overturn a legitimate democratic election. https://t.co/BafYIHkO0b — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepMcGovern: "This was a well-organized attack on our country that was incited by Donald Trump....Our nation came under attack...from within. These were traitors...domestic terrorists. And they were acting under the orders of Donald Trump....He must be held to account." https://t.co/kacT7YkXgQ — PolitiTweet.org

.@RepMcGovern opens the impeachment session: "We are debating this historic measure at an actual crime scene." We wouldn't be here "without Donald Trump." https://t.co/Dzil5Fcw98 — PolitiTweet.org

David Corn @DavidCornDC

A reminder (if you need it). A week ago, Donald Trump became more than a demagogue; he became a terrorist leader. He incited a murderous attack. He then did nothing to stop it. Good reasons for impeachment. I'm proud I called it as it was, as it happened. https://t.co/GRJiesxQz7 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m pretty sure this is bullshit—and that there would be no impeachment if Trump’s effort to overturn an election hadn’t led to a murderous attack on the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org
