Trump Acquitted TWICE 🥊🥊

131

The vote was 57 – 43 to convict, not reaching the two-thirds majority that is necessary for conviction. There were seven Republicans who voted to stab the former president in the back and to remove the former president from a job he no longer has. But they needed 10 more votes to convict, Politico reported.

But the 57-43 vote marked the first time since 1868 that a majority of the Senate voted to convict a president on an impeachment charge. And the seven Republicans who broke ranks are the most to support the conviction of a president from their own party.

Those turncoats were Sens. Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse and Pat Toomey. But the biggest turncoat of them all, Senate Minority Leader and Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, voted to acquit.

After shredding the former president in a speech in front of the Senate and the world, he did hint at saying Trump should be criminally prosecuted.
