Washington (CNN)In an expletive-laced phone call with House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy while the Capitol was under attack, then-President Donald Trump said the rioters cared more about the election results than McCarthy did.

"Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are," Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call afterward by McCarthy.

Fucking unbelievable

Even worse is after that, McCarthy did not vote to impeach, and then flew down to FL to visit Trump.

And McCarthy crawled back to Trump. Fuck these spineless cowards. They are losing their party and instead of sticking to their ideals, they are selling their souls. It's as sad as it is infuriating.

Remember, people who support the Republican party think that this is bravery, not cowardice. To them, McCarthy's initial fear was the cowardice. His later doubling down was bravery.

I don't get the people who cite precedent as a reason to do nothing. I mean either way aren't you citing a precedent? Either a president can do some awful shit at the end of his term and get away with it or a president gets convicted after leaving office. If you think he did something wrong and don't want to vote for impeachment on the grounds of precedent, you are setting an even more worrying precedent.
