RT @GOPLeader VA Governor Ralph Northam’s past racist behavior caps a week where he displayed an egregious lack of respect for human dignity and the American values that we fight every day to uphold. Staying in office only poisons efforts to grow together as one nation. He should resign.

RT @marcorubio Why do House Democrat’s who conducted an impeachment process in which the final outcome was predetermined think they have any standing to decide what is a “fair” process in the Senate?

Timestamp: 3:00:26 PM

2020-01-06

@KevinMKruse House precedence allows ranking members to have an equal role in the process (not for DJT) and your vote count shows bipartisan votes in favor of impeachment. These two articles were bipartisan votes against impeachment articles that still passed...

Timestamp: 11:48:50 PM

Is there a historical basis for the House to hold strictly partisan hearings, a bipartisan vote against impeachment, or leverage the transmission of the articles as a tool to dictate the Senate's rules for the trial? My cell is 864-616-8821. I'd love to hear your perspective. https://twitter.com/kevinmkruse/status/1214377718382571520 QT @KevinMKruse Worth repeating.

The Senate impeachment trials of both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton featured new testimony that the House had not relied upon when it passed their Articles of Impeachment.

You can argue things should be different now, but that's actually how it worked before. https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1214271082812919809

Timestamp: 12:06:14 AM

@KevinMKruse I meet with CRS and the parliamentarian often. Their counsel led me to a different conclusion, thus the offer for further discussion. Twitter is not super productive for that. If you make it to DC for the trial, I'd be happy to buy you a cup of coffee or a cocktail.

Six of the House's seven impeachment managers called for impeachment BEFORE THERE WAS EVEN A WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT! (3/4)

With impeachment proceedings beginning in the Senate, I am struck by the irony of Democrats' requests for "fairness" and "transparency." (1/4)
