By 11 p.m., of course, both states were decisively in the Trump column, and the election was so close, The Associated Press did not call it until the following Saturday.
The Democrats’ second impeachment attempt against former President Donald Trump is losing steam.
While many on the left gladly embraced the charge to impeach Trump for a second time just one week before he left office, some of the Democrats are less than thrilled that an unlikely impeachment is taking up time on their legislative calendars.
Just one week after a deadly mob riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the House of Representatives swiftly moved to impeach the then-president for “incitement of insurrection.” Mulitple politicians on both sides of the partisan aisle called for action against Trump, citing the recent chaos in their historic office building and the potential threat that the former president and his supporters reportedly posed to U.S. democracy. They wanted to send a message, and they thought they might have the support to do it.
The Republican from Kentucky listed Democrat politicians who used speech similar to Trump’s but got away with it, completely lacking criticism from their colleagues. Notable incidents, Paul said, include Sen. Bernie Sanders, whose “false and inflammatory rhetoric” on American health care inspired a shooting at a congressional baseball practice, Sen. Cory Booker, who previously used “visual and specific incitement” to egg on his supporters to physically confront legislators, and Rep. Maxine Waters, who urged people to physically attack Trump supporters in public places.
“But what of Democrat words, what of Democrat incitement to violence?” he asked. “No Democrat will ask…Is that not incitement?”
