1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.200
-But what we saw
in that Senate today

2
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.170
was a cowardly group
of Republicans,

3
00:00:06.170 --> 00:00:08.640
who apparently have
no options

4
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.390
because they were afraid
to defend their job,

5
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:16.740
respect the institution
in which they serve.

6
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:22.370
Imagine that it would be
vandalized in so many bad ways

7
00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:24.430
that I won't even
go into here,

8
00:00:24.430 --> 00:00:26.800
and that they would not
respect their institution.

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:32.140
That the President
of the Senate, Mike Pence --

10
00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:37.540
"Hang Mike Pence" was the chant,
and they just dismissed that.

11
00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:38.590
Why?

12
00:00:38.590 --> 00:00:41.980
Because maybe they can't
get another job.

13
00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:45.460
What is so important
about any one of us?

14
00:00:47.830 --> 00:00:51.220
What is so important about
the political survival

15
00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:56.400
of any one of us that is more
important than our Constitution

16
00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:00.380
that we take an oath
to protect and defend?

17
00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:05.250
But why I came over was because
I listened to Mitch McConnell.

18
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.140
Mitch McConnell,

19
00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:13.370
who when this distinguished
group of House Managers

20
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:17.340
were gathered on January 15th

21
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:21.150
to deliver the Article
of Impeachment could not --

22
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:24.060
we're told it
could not be received

23
00:01:24.060 --> 00:01:27.790
because Mitch McConnell
had shut down the Senate

24
00:01:27.790 --> 00:01:31.160
and was going to keep it
shut down until right,

25
00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:33.530
until the inauguration.

26
00:01:33.530 --> 00:01:36.000
So, for him to get up there
and make this indictment

27
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.990
against the President
and then say but

28
00:01:38.990 --> 00:01:43.790
"I can't, I can't vote for it
because it's after the fact."

29
00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:46.830
The fact that he established!

30
00:01:46.830 --> 00:01:51.650
The fact that he established
that it could not be delivered

31
00:01:51.650 --> 00:01:52.860
before the inauguration.

32
00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:56.170
Now, when you think
about January 6th,

33
00:01:56.170 --> 00:01:58.070
between January 6th
and January 20th,

34
00:01:58.070 --> 00:02:00.890
you're only talking about
just under two weeks,

35
00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:02.510
a day under two weeks.
