He is likely telling his colleagues, Republicans, not to go after each other if they decide to vote for impeachment. He is tacitly acknowledging that Trump supporters are violent POSs that would threaten and try to harm people who try to uphold justice by voting to impeach the traitor Trump.

but he also knows the deplorables that are making up a majority of Houre repubs. These warnings will be useless because some of them are insane.
