Richard Burr was the first Republican senator to vote that Donald Trump was guilty. Soon after him, Senator Cassidy also voted guilty. He and Burr were joined by five more Republicans — Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney and Pat Toomey — in joining their Democratic Party colleagues in the vote to impeach Trump for 'inciting the insurrection'. The final vote count showed that 57 Senators voted "Guilty", while 43 voted "Not Guilty". Senator Cassidy's video got several comments and retweets about his decision. "Thank you Senator Cassidy. From the [email protected] my heart, you have given me a sliver of hope. I am sorry that this will have far reaching impacts to the Senate. Today I was convinced (by the words of Mr. McConnell) that the Filibuster must go," said one tweet. Another user responded by praising Cassidy and the other six Republicans who voted 'guilty' during the impeachment trial. "My admiration to the 7 Republican Senators with moral courage who proved they put the country before 'one weird dude'. The rest should be embarrassed, but history will deal with them, if Trump doesn’t do it first. The House Managers were awesome. Sad day for our country." Yet another said "Ignore the haters."
