House Republicans just voted nearly unanimously against the resolution calling on Mike Pence to remove Trump by invoking 25th Amendment. The only Republican that voted for the measure was Adam Kinzinger of IL.
In addition to being an historically gutless demonstration of prioritizing party loyalty over the interest and security of the nation, the vote may prove be an incredibly foolish move that backfires on these cowards.
Perhaps they didn’t fully consider that their taking a pass on asking for Trump’s removal essentially makes them cosigners to any destruction that Trump reaps in his remaining days in office — you enabled it, you own it. At a minimum, any pardons that Trump issues from today forward should laid at their doorstep.
I hope Pelosi, whose response to the Jan 6 attack has been outstanding, continues the pressure by holding the feet of every House Republican (except Kinzinger) to the fire for every single destructive thing Trump does between now and Jan 20.
