Impeachment for sedition is as 'equally irresponsible' as Trump's insurrection: Texas Republican

[halfulglas]

7. Equally. Really? Really?

So he equates the two. Putting them on the scale of justice or terrible things or whatever, he really equates the two things. He just doesn't want members of his party put on record regarding the events of this past week or indeed even the events of the past 4 years. I want every single Republican in the House and the Senate to have to go on record. Is this really your man? As more and more will come out in the hearings being held in the House and Senate regarding the attack on the Capitol, more will be coming out regarding the actions of the people around him. They are anywhere between begging and demanding Congress and Biden to let the nation "heal." In this case I think there can be no healing unless the wound is lanced and drained of pus. Slapping a bandage on will not lead to healing.

On almost the same note, I came in my house today after delivering a care package I think shortly after 3 and MSNBC was on TV and the host was interviewing a new Republican who was of course among those trapped in the Capitol and she seemed very nice and seemed to say all the right things about being scared and grateful for the cops, etc, then as she was finishing up her interview she started to talk about yes we'll have to do things better, etc. and cut right to the Republican line of on both sides and I just about lost it. No one was blaming her, just her creepy Trump party but even she, a brand new rep couldn't resist hinting that Dems are at least a bit responsible.
