Acquittal 2.0 – US Senate Votes to Acquit Trump – Not Guilty of Incitement (and President Trump’s Response)

The United States Senate has voted on charges brought by the US House. On the matter of impeachment by incitement, they say no by a vote of 57-43, with 7 Republicans voting with Democrats to convict.

Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) voted with the Democrats to convict Trump.

 

The Dems will now be forced to ramp up their other avenues of attack. Lawsuits, criminal charges. The ongoing assault on liberty, freedom, language, speech, self-defense, even mobility. Much of that will be directed at regular Americans—landing on state and local “beachheads” where Governors will be forced to defend us.

Or not.

Democrat policy will get their full attention as they push through the anti-America agenda. A test for the few Democrats who say they are opposed to some of the Marxist tunes that Obiden and the Pelosietts claim they’d like on the playlist.

Not a great place to be, but like the impeachment and the vote, we get to see who likes to dance to that and who does not.

Using his Office of the 45th President, Trump issued the following Press Release,

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

I want to first thank my team of dedicated lawyers and others for their tireless work upholding justice and defending truth.

My deepest thanks as well to all of the United States Senators and Members of Congress who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.

Our cherished Constitutional Republic was founded on the impartial rule of law, the indispensable safeguard for our liberties, our rights and our freedoms.

It is a sad commentary on our times that one political party in America is given a free pass to denigrate the rule of law, defame law enforcement, cheer mobs, excuse rioters, and transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree. I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honorably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate.

This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago.

I also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hardworking, law-abiding, God-and-Country loving citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times.

Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun. In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!

We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future.

Together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

We remain one People, one family, and one glorious nation under God, and it’s our responsibility to preserve this magnificent inheritance for our children and for generations of Americans to come.

May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America.
