Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said that GOP leaders are making a “mockery of the Constitution” with their plan to acquit President Donald Trump of his wrongdoing, and lambasted Senate Republicans for “abdicating their responsibility and their oath,” Newsweek reported.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, told Fox News host Sean Hannity last Thursday that he planned to cooperate with White House counsel if Trump is impeached by the House of Representatives and the case is brought to trial in the Senate. “There is no chance the president is going to be removed from office,” McConnell asserted.
GOP Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has repeatedly dismissed the allegations against Trump throughout the impeachment inquiry. During a conference in Qatar on Saturday, Graham said he would “do everything” he could to make the trial “die quickly.”
“I am trying to give a pretty clear signal I have made up my mind. I’m not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here,” the senator added.
