I like Rubin’s concluding paragraph. She captures the enabling behavior of the Republicans in the Senate and why they should be voted out of office.
Schiff got one thing wrong, however. He told the Senate, “You are decent. He is not who you are.” Actually, Senate Republicans are not decent — nor loyal or worthy of our trust. They stood by Trump when even the evidence available at the time weighed in favor of impeachment. They turned a blind eye to a witness whose testimony would have been even more persuasive. They were and are enablers of the most destructive president in our history and deserve — every last one of them — to be booted out of office. In Schiff’s words, their names “will be tied to his with a cord of steel and for all of history.”
