Sen. McConnell: 'There's no question—none—that Pres. Turmp is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events' of January 6. 'The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.'

After Trump was acquitted by the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., took to the Senate floor to blast Trump for his actions and echo House managers' argument that Trump violated his oath of office.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer introduces legislation to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Capitol Police Officer Eugene Goodman for his actions to defend the Senate and senators during the siege on the Capitol, Feb. 12, 2021.

"This was the first presidential impeachment trial in history in which all senators were not only judges and jurors, but witnesses to the Constitutional crime that was committed," Schumer said."The former president inspired, directed and propelled a mob to violently prevent the peaceful transfer of power, subvert the will of the people and illegally keep that president in power.

He highlighted the fact that a majority of senators, including seven republicans, did vote to convict the former president, and said he thinks Trump will be discredited in the eyes of America after his second impeachment trial, even though he was acquitted. "He deserves to be permanently discredited, and I believe he has been discredited in the eyes of the American people and in the judgment of history," he said.

greenwings17 This means nothing coming from her. She has turned into a horrible leader. Embarrising

Nancy Nancy Nancy is soooooooo angry = loser

You already know , they wit the against black people madness , point blank, bottom line, period

Alt headline: Trump, having already left office, still fully occupies Nancy Pelosi’s headspace.

Watch 'Hunter Biden's Chinese investments are 'highly worrisome': Ari Fleischer' on YouTube

She is biggie mad. I can feel her hate.

Pelosi knew that these jackass were not gonna vote guilty...totally wasted of time.

People should be asking why did the Democrats NOT want Nancy Pelosi to testify.

They are worse than cowards and they are defending democracy and our country ? Something is not right in America our forefathers are turning over in their graves

I am with Nancy Pelosi.

Go calm yourself with another stifff drink, Nancy.

It's this simple...

👏👏👍🏾

Continuing to call each other names is not healing. If you truly want to work with the Republicans, you have to stop calling them names. And vice versa. Something needs to change in our political environment.

Awwww she’s upset

Well next time she bring articles of impeachment she should make sure they're constitional and not just trying to overtun an election. Nancy and her band of seditionist democrats tried to overturn the 2016 election for 4 years.

SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi DNC HouseJudiciary LeaderMcConnell SenateGOP JudiciaryGOP The World and I, A Canadian, Will Remember these American Traitors!

Amazing moment

Reinforces the theme that TheDemocrats have no backbone. HouseDemocrats & SenateDems want 2 hold the House & Senate n 2022 this just extinguished the fire for that cause, same goes for JoeBiden 2024. R's bluffed & D's folded, no wonder D's keep getting their ass handed 2 them

It’s been a witch hunt for 5 years. When will the Dems stop blaming Trump for every single thing that goes on in the world? How about focusing on helping the American people instead of your anger and name calling SpeakerPelosi

They are all cowards. They continue to shame the American people.

When I read about article 3 of the 14th amendment I realized that the leaders after the civil war knew they had to permanently disqualify all insurrectionist from holding any office. This needs to be invoked on all insurrectionists and all elected officials who supported it.

She is Bitter because the insurgents (while very wrg) specifically wanted to go after her. Should have done vocally not like that! So she lashes out MORE vehemently noq at Pres T than for the last years. she is a chronic whiner. But she does match her masks to outfits. 🤪 Smh...

Absolutely true! McConnell and crew are cowards!!! Jae been and will continue to be .... Cowards!

🤣🤣🤣

She was so worried they were going to call her for testimony.

A very bitter woman

Now do Cuomo Covid cover-up SpeakerPelosi HouseGOP WhiteHouse SenateDems SenateGOP POTUS VP

SPINELESS GOP SENATORS

🤮🤮🤮

A disaster for Republican Party Senators and the Party too

McConnell is a joke. Pelosi has bigger balls. Loved that she pointed out that the GOP just wanted to hang on to their job security

Time for Pelosi to resign......

Like a two year old in a shopping cart who didn't get that lollipop...

Ésto va a traer consecuencias, en especial para los republicanos que votaron con el corazón y no la cabeza.

All this was is they have now enabled Trump even more. Next time he runs a out of control riot, it will be a bloodbath for them. Now all the Who's are known in Whoville. It's time to start up the political bulldozer and plow them over..... We are sick of it.

No they voted as the new Republican Terrorist Organization. The American version of ISIS.

Time to move on...

Old Hen, old everything, stink like hell,

A disgraceful politician who sold the heart of America for his position. Double standard. This day will judge you for decades to come and on history book for generations to come. This will also affect his generation to occupy public post. Shameful Mitch McConnell

She is right m, they are Cowards

Old Owl

This ass trump knows how to intimidate each republican member...ass trump is the godfather, he knows all personal secrets from everyone in the Republican party so they had to do it for him otherwise they knew what is going to happen to them.

They are not cowards. They saw the truth as another Pelosi charade

Bla bla tds

McConnell deferred the impeachment, and then said it was too late to hold Trump’s hands to the fire - and then ranted that Trump was guilty! Self-serving AF. MitchMcConnellisadisgustingcoward TrumpIsACriminal

Tina53572071 They went after a private citizen.Trump can now go after CNN, Pelosi &the rest of the scum who perpetrated this fraud &deformation Cant wait for the multi billion $ suit!! Seeing scum Pelosi subpoenaed will be fantastic!! She will be liquored up & slurring her words!

Oh, shut up, already

For once this time I agree

You can fight.

Pelosi has a hollowed out soul...she viciously supports abortion, she viciously attacks others...she is afraid and vicious...she continues to divide. I have no respect for her tactics and witch conciousness. We have wonderful women who represent Democrats, she is NOT one.

😂😂😂😂

Nancy are you yelling wolf in theaters again?

Nancy is all about class and unity.

Fire her

Technically if you think about this. With all the wrong n lies you pos did n continue to do. I believe you provoked the Jan 6th. Ppl aren't as stupid as you guys like to believe. Us Americans work hard n fought in wars for our freedom. Must suck sleeping with one eye open.

Yep all shit scared and fearful of the repercussions. Think me, me, me!

They are right to vote their own way, why vote your way? Nonsense!!

The world can now see that the US ' democracy ' is a joke. In a sane country, Trump will be in jail right now for Treason.

Triggered

If ONLY orange 🍊 dude 45 had started off like Biden ...as in ONE YEAR ago ! Instead ..we WASTED ONE YEAR or more watching orange dude Fk UP a pandemic response ! That orange mofo needs to go to PRISON for that ONE FK-UP alone ..COVID deaths ...& RAPE..& caged kids ..& ....

Mad goat

Crazy Nancy must quit

Duh. You need to show power to change injustice.

wow..so Pelosi is now into name calling. I thought leaders in Congress had moved on from 3rd grade antics. And what then should we call Pelosi's comments and behavior? Juvenile?

Her nose has a cowardly feature 😒

So where’s democracy if you want everyone just acting or do to accord your thoughts 🤷‍♂️

Both sides need to stop using the impeachment process as a weapon. It's unamerican. A pox on both their houses.

The Americans now, face the heavies karmic retribution of the Universal Law of Karma; of misdeeds of cheating, scam, bribe, conspiration, witchcraft, money laundering, and inhumanity... etc.

Yes she is right

Lol

They are murderers too

Actually they did their jobs. You can’t impeach a President who is not in office.

You can add self-serving,spineless, and un - America to that.

A synonym for SpeakerPelosi - craven.

Did congress accomplish anything today? or in the last two weeks?

Would she ever betray a Democrat?

Democracy was built by courage now cowardice. All of the republicans will fall on their swords of stupidity

She's right! They been up his butt the whole time! Overlooking everything he did or said! But if it had of been Obama! You know the story! This is Amerikkka for you! Sad

Absolutely true cowards

Please Nancy, please, testify under oath yourself!!!

Preach on Nancy

Drunk Saturday. She should have waited till more sober Monday

The Republican party just committed suicide today.

Cant she just retire

Save myanmar

This is an evil old witch. Old being a key phrase as she eventually fades from the world and leaves a dirty smudge from all the hate in her body and spirit. A stain on American politics and history. One of the most divisive figures in American history.

Hate consumes even itself

GOPCowards GOPComplicitTraitors guilty now have him arrested!! SpeakerPelosi FBI

McConnell and others have attached their apron strings to Trump which will lead them to know where rather dent their repute Mitch has never had guts initially to stand for truth the reason why Republican party is floating? it has no firm roots because is embroiled in lies

pelosithefascist

I don’t want to see this creature

She’s a devil!

pissedoffpelosi

BeckyIB Thank you. They are cowardly. But I appreciate your strength.

She is an idiot, they did her a favor as she would have had to answer for what she knew, when she knew it and why she choose not to do nothing!!

Trump 2024

SpeakerPelosi -. Eat💩💩💩💩

Would have been nice to see her speak under oath.

👏👏

No ... you rushed to judgement .. just like the first impeachment !

Oh, Nancy honey...

Your days are numbers wicked old bitch!

'republican' 'trump enabler' us senators voting to ACQUIT TRUMP GAVE UP their 'COJONES' SOME TIME BACK & TOO LATE for THEM to TRY to COVER UP THEIR 'LOSS' 👇😳👇😳👇😳 PLUS IT'S OBVIOUS!!!👇👇👇

Again the GOP put their political convenience over justice. They should follow our justice system where jurors still do what is right to bring people to fair justice based on evidence not on convenience. The GOP knows the evidence proved that DT is guilty but their bias prevailed

That is exactly what they are. Every one of the 43 Senators need to be impeached (recalled?) for allowing this insurrection to be “ok”; for letting the traitors try to overthrow our government; and, for being straight-up cowards. I am sickened. They are anti- and in Americans.

They called you out for an Unconstitutional hit trial!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Treasomous biatch!!

She shouldn't be surprised, this is what the Republican party is known for, double speaking, underhanded tricks, misdirection, and self serving politics. They have never cared about the American people or democracy, it os about their fraternity and sticking it to the opposition.

MAGA!! My Ass Got Aquitted!!

Drunk again.....

Pelosi who block medicare for all and block relief checks and the 2000 then noughts the votes of people we will give you a 2000 as each week lowering to 1400 more and only if your street poor but have a very slow job still close because corona you get money remove too.

Drunk

REPARATIONS AND RESTITUTION FOR ALL AFRICAN DESCENDANTS OF SLAVERY. That would level the playing field for all of America. Both the democrats and Republicans are 100% guilty of practicing systemic racism, unfair discrimination,... against black people.

No Pelosi, what we have is brave principled Senators that will not surrender to the pressure of a political mob created by your unreasonable hatred toward Trump & will not allow a mob of agenda driven House reps to bend the impeachment due process & rules to fit their purposes!

She needs to take her pills

Nancy Pelosi goes to bed with hatred for Trump..she hates him with her whole heart..just watchlng is sad

She's just mad because the liberals were defeated again! Acquittal !! Nancy knew from the beginning it was going to end this way. She just likes to hear herself talk. DrainTheSwamp liberaldefeat GOP

She aint wrong. McConnell blamed it on trump the voted not guilty. I mean what kind of BS is that?

.SpeakerPelosi madam of a brothel near Swallowell where fang fanf was their star.

She was right. She was also wearing a mask. Why are you using this pictures instead of one from today.

God Bless the GOP

A “cowardly group of Republicans” as Nancy Pelosi described them, showed her and her idea of this “cancel culture dystopia” that too many people “believe in,” that there is still some willing to actually follow the laws in the way in which they were written.

Can we stop talking about him now? He won again. We knew that would happen Move on. He will be back on social media soon!🙄🙄🙄

🇺🇸

She's not wrong. Fuck the GOP GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPComplicitTraitors

🤡

Agreed

One person we have not heard from...President Biden your thoughts or comments?

Fuck off you lush

LMFAO

Absolutely zero evidence to support conviction.

It is better to be the widow of a hero, than the wife of a coward....Dolores Ibarruri.

Nasty nancy trying to start a riot after Trump is freed. But sure charges will be brought against her for trying to incite violence after things didn't go her way. She also said the people behind her was honorable what a lair

Republicans have elevated hypocrisy to a new art form!

That’s funny coming from the bitch who has no respect for anyone when she was tearing up the president’s speech while he was delivering it showing just how low she will go but holds others to higher standards. Too funny.

She’s right. SenateGOP put Trump above country. Without consequences for sedition one day we will all pay for this Republican mistake. TermLimitsforCongress

Blasts? More unity.

Take them fingers Nancy and shove them up u know where. Freaking witch.

You were lazy Nancy. Trying to do a rush job with the impeachment. The case was weak.

Awww, let her have her little hissy fit. It's just her disappointment over the fact that the GOP senators have recovered from the trauma of the would-be putsch and she hasn't. She doesn't frighten them anymore, if she ever did. That's what bothers her.

So your a coward if you vote your conscience?

Nancy spreading the good word of unity and healing, god bless her 🙏🏻

😜👍😜👍

nancylovestrump

Wowwww

Yet the moment they mentioned bringing her in a witness the dems backed off quick as fuck

She 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 beast 👏🏻

I did not say that.

Trump: Hey Nancy, it’s owen Nancy: Owen who? Trump: O and 2

What happened to the call for unity? Did Pelosi not get the memo?

Term limits please

Let it go Nance

C'mon now, we know y'all were in a rush to leave for your undeserved vacay and 'Valentine's day' you rushed things and did not call witnesses when you should have, you twit We aren't blind and deaf. SpeakerPelosi

she's right

Cowardly would imply they were in fear & would have to overcome it, when in fact they’re just disgusting Hypocrites & POS Traitors!

😭 poor Nancy😭 Lol!!!!!! SpeakerPelosi

unity

SpeakerPelosi is a vile hateful animal.

She was glorious.

Lol

Sickening just sickening

Nancy lost it🤣😂

Trump cultism!

Bitter old woman who hasn’t done a thing for this country in years. Rhetoric is the only answer she has left.

SpeakerPelosi was amazing when she spoke today during the House manager's press conference. She was pissed to no end especially when she pounded to podium!!

Cowardly - that is a nice word. I call them a bunch of pussy Republicans

That’s could justice, sometimes u lose. What she wants is dictatorship

Only seven Republicans senator did the right thing.

Pls Save Myanmar 🙏

SUCK IT UP DRUNK NANCY!!!!!!

Put this bitch in jailalready

maddow How does it feel to pick the wrong lame donkey's or elephant's to run with accompanied with the bias, truth spinning and lying media outlets with lame staff. Proud working Americans know who you are and we are the winning team here🙂🇺🇸🤗

What a waste of time any money that could of helped actual Americans

This may be the reason why!! It’s better to tell the truth then be caught in a lie!!

She’s stronger than all of those GOPigs put together. Everyone knows it.

Feb. 9, a vote by the senate ruled Trump's Trial a Former President was Constitutional! Feb. 13, McConnell Votes against convicting Trump He Claims It's unconstitutional because Trump was no longer President! McConnell put the trial off till after Trump left office! Double Talk!

Political revenge failed....hmmm...I know! Cue the racism! lets riot! thats coming next here army stands ready to 'punish' the people

She is right. They are cowards.

Republicans have been cowardly for the past 30 years, just now everyone can see it plainly.

Nancy needs to go. So tired of her hatred of Trump. Time to move on. Nancy and Trump need to be out of social media. Both need to retire

nothing but Q nuts

JoeBiden called on 60+mil Americans across the country to riot for 90 days in the middle of a pandemic. Not once did warn protestors they will infect the country. That as a direct result 400,000 Americans are dead, our country infected & lockdown.

Totally agree!!!

NutsyPutinlosi CrazyNancy

That old hag is just mad because she didn’t get her way. It was a set up? Covid relief, remember that?

pelosi when she heard Teflon Donny trump beat the case a 2nd time 😂🇺🇸👩🏻

Remember these co-conspirators when it’s time to go to the polls.

They always have been a Bunch of Cowards.

DemocratsAreCorrupt Democratsareweak DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trumpiscoming2024

Our government sucks, for 4 yrs Nancy n Chuck were obsessed with Impeachment of Trump n still r. What both parties should have been doing is helping Americans. But no, stimulus relief should have been monthly since last May. Sad group we all voted into office.

Pelosi had the chance to do effect impeachment the first time - she just doing it for clout unless she’s angry bout nearly being killed

when did the phrase “You’re either with us or against us “ become so corrupted?-Both McCains are traitors to the RP( whether War hero or not you betrayed your party )

We live n the town where tom metzger lived & died. I've known about this ever since moving here. I believe there's no limit to their ability to commit atrocities against any and all of humankind, and only cowards and conspirators are cool with what that.

That’s my Speaker! 💪🏽

Nancy is spot on none of these republicans have the balls to do what is right for justice and democracy. McConnell is contradicting he said Trump is responsible for the insurrection. but wont vote to jail him that makes no sense you cant have it both ways.

Get on your broom 🧹 and fly away Witch 🧙‍♀️

If you don't like it, start your own democracy

Here's the 'cowardly' Republican response..... Why was SpeakerPelosi so afraid of LindseyGrahamSC 's threats about Witnesses . What do the Repubs have on her that she would let THIS happen?

She is correct

Bout half right Nancy

The senators who voted not guilty are cowards and co-conspirators of the insurrection! They need to be held accountable!

Pelosimustgo

Her face is gonna melt or what

40 years of failing America. Dems , Repubs, these people are pure trash. Time to take out the garbage. Vote new people in.

I don't get it, mitch said last time he couldn't vote to convict because trump is president..now he says he can't vote to convict because trump ISN'T president

And she is correct we have some stupid republicans and they dont deserve to serve the united states.

LOVE HER!!! Yes 👏🏽

Another nimwit!

We see everyday Pelosi's poor House leadership this past year as citizens suffered, businesses closed and she put on Political shows.Term limits needed to end poor leadership & for our country to move on.

This witch turned beautiful San Francisco into a 'Shithole'

No, Nancy, they are not the cowards. The cowards are the sap sucking opportunists, who attacked President Trump.

She's got to move on. But is probably cooking up something else for the ex-President. It'll never end with her. Sad.

Where da fuck is my 2k StimulusCheck

His voters were those very thugs who tried taking over the capitol

Says Moscow Mitch!

Too Little Too Late! You let the Sociopath Go!

Moscow Mitch

A Traitor and a particularly nasty one.

And 80 million who voted him out. Please explain to them that is more! Grand Ostrich Party sold their souls for Trump

provoke = incite GOPHypocrisy Guilty

Burr dumped millions of stocks before COVID shutdown plummeted stocks. Save the “violated his oath” speech.
