After the President’s incited attack on the US Capitol:
Senator Lindsey Graham (R) SC called President-Elect Joe Biden begging him to call Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to ask her and “the squad” to end the second impeachment while saying that it would only cause further divide in the nation. Further the divide? Really? Of course, the president elect had already stated publicly that it is up to the House as a separate but equal branch of government.
"President Trump gave a statement last night that was helpful, it hit the mark, he wants to move on to a peaceful transfer of power, he wants this to end," Graham told Fox host Sean Hannity Friday evening. That statement was more like a hostage statement designed to help VP Pence to avoid invoking the 25th Amendment. Shortly thereafter, Trump was permanently removed from Twitter and Facebook for continuing false and inciting language. That’s not what wanting to “move on to a peaceful transfer of power”, and “wanting this to end”, looks like.
Graham is trying to look like the person calming the rhetoric because he’s under investigation for calling the GA Secretary of State Raffensperger while attempting to change the election result. Graham was just reelected for his Senate post and should be safe for 6 years; not withstanding a federal indictment for his act.
The House must impeach the President as the clear and present danger he is to America today. The majority in the House will certainly prevail while placing EVERY republican who votes against it to be further exposed to aligning with the insurrection against our nation. Further, as Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell has already stated that the Senate will not reconvene until January 19th, it will leave the trial portion of removal from office to the new Democratic majority and the necessity of only needing 16 GOP Senators to go along while leaving the remaining Senators also exposed to aligning with the insurrection AND potentially allowing for another Trump campaign in 2024.
Looking forward beyond the impeachment and trial, the Biden Administration is charged with sensing Moscow Mitch’s motives in obstruction and acting accordingly to prevent what happened to the Obama Administration. If we need all Democrats and VP Harris to pass every bill into law, then so be it.
