In response, Democrats must show their love, too — of the rule of law, the sanctity of elections and democracy itself — by impeaching this recidivist president. Trump continues to cheat in the 2020 election.
“We present you not just with high crimes and misdemeanors but a constitutional crime in progress up to this very minute,” Rep. Jamie Raskin , representing the House Judiciary Committee, testified to the Rules Committee.
Before the hearing, McGovern and Rep. Doug Collins , assigned to make the case against impeachment, exchanged a smile. “Livin’ the dream,” Collins said.But when the camera went on, Collins resumed his usual posture, accusing the Democrats of “abuse,” “fiction,” “last- minute Christmas shopping,” a “kangaroo court” and “Alice in Wonderland” proceedings. Collins opposed not just Trump’s impeachment but also Andrew Johnson’s.
