Once, a young woman used that phrase to call out those in power who would double deal, who would try to have their cake and eat it too. Once again we are seeing the same thing.
So for the sake of history I am writing this post on this day to remind those who come after what happened in Washington on Capitol Hill today. The impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump was ended with an acquittal. Despite the fact that the House Managers proved their case against Trump Mitch McConnell and his Republican followers voted to acquit. Why? Because they said that because Trump was no longer in office the whole case was unconstitutional. However, the Sentae had already voted on this point, voting that it was. Also, Mitch McConnell in his actions to delay the trial until after the inauguration set up this time line.
So I say this is the face of hypocrisy. I can well understand if you cannot listen to it the whole way through.
Donald J. Trump did his best to undermine our democracy, breaking his oath of office. He should never be allowed to hold public office again. And it was the duty of our elected officials to call him to account. Those 7 Republican elected officials that voted with the Democrats in the Senate to convict are to be commended for their loyalty to their country. Those who chose their own political careers and their party over their country should be ashamed.
