One Republican did the right thing


Credit where it's due.

One Republican Senator put country ahead of party and voted for one article of impeachment against Trump. Mitt Romney could have done far more, but his act of courage in the face of the MAGA hordes who will go after him, should be noted and celebrated.








"The president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust. What he did was not perfect. No, it was a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security and our fundamental values,"
...
Corrupting an election to keep oneself in office is perhaps the most abusive and destructive violation of one's oath of office that I can imagine.
...
Were I to ignore the evidence what has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath and the Constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history's rebuke and the censure of my own conscience."

Mitt, this is for you.
