Here we go: Republican Senator confirms Donald Trump committed “impeachable offenses”
Democrats have publicly hinted that a number of unnamed Republicans in the House and Senate might join them in their effort to impeach Donald Trump for inciting the domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol building. Now one of those Republicans has identified himself.
Republican Senator Pat Toomey appeared on CNN this evening and said “I do think the president committed impeachable offenses.” While Toomey could always find an excuse to back out of voting to convict Trump, he wouldn’t be sticking his neck out like this for no reason; he appears to be strongly leaning toward supporting impeachment. This comes after Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski called on Trump to resign.
Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu stated on CNN today that he’s in the process of lining up one or more Republican co-sponsors for the impeachment effort. Lieu didn’t mention any names. However, Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger is publicly calling for Trump’s removal.
