Florida Republican released a statement on Trump’s impeachment trial mid-day Friday, shortly after Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) indicated she would vote against calling witnesses to testify, paving the way for Republicans to potentially end the trial with an acquittal of the president.
“Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a president from office,” Rubio said.
Rubio wrote that even assuming the allegations that Trump attempted to bribe the Ukrainian government by withholding military aid and demanding officials launch an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden are true, the impact of removing the president would harm the nation because removal is not supported by most Americans.
So hes guilty of an impeachable crime but he doesnt want to lol. Isnt that special
I actually don’t really disagree. I’ll tell you what i have more respect for those like Lamar Alexander, who are being honest and saying (Paraphrasing) “He did it. The evidence is overwhelming. I dont need a witness to tell me what has already been proven. I just don’t think he should be removed from office over it” vs the people like Rand Paul screaming "Its all fake! There is no proof! " and crap like that.
I’m sure Rubio would be fine with president Sanders pressuring Israel and holding up congressional military aid to Israel until they open an investigation into Kushner and Trump.
It’s not just him. They’ve almost all said the same thing. They dont care what the truth is or what evidence you have. Unless it was a stain on a dress of course. Face it hes guilty as hell
Rubio basically admitting that Trump supporters are irrational and wouldn’t even care if an actual impeachable offense occurred. But hey Don Lemon laughed at them
nice
