McConnell: We've set a very unfortunate precedent here. This means that the Senate can ignore, in effect, the House's impeachment. It doesn't make any difference whether our friends on the other side thought he should have been impeached or not. He was. And by doing what we just did, we have, in effect, ignored the directions of the house, which were to have a trial that no evidence, no procedure. This is a day that's not a proud day in the history of the Senate
@ChadPergram McConnell is aware of the precedent he set, just like the Supreme Court justice seat and a presidential impeachment he blew off.
@Not_Mike_Brady @ChadPergram Completely different situation.
@Not_Mike_Brady @ChadPergram McConnell didn’t set the precedent, Schumer did.
@Not_Mike_Brady @ChadPergram One huge difference., Trump was no longer in office.
@Not_Mike_Brady @ChadPergram They were permitted to impeach Trump. There was none of this maneuvering.
@Not_Mike_Brady @ChadPergram Which impeachments did he blow off? Because trials were held for both.
