Sure, it’s striking that not one GOP House member voted “aye” on either Article of Impeachment.
But it is really even worse than that - not one GOP House member even criticized Trump’s conduct. They could have said sure, it’s wrong to shake down a foreign nation for election help, and wrong to obstruct an inquiry into that conduct, but that it’s not impeachable. They could have then preserved at least some dignity while still being GOP party hacks.
But no. Trump said “the call was perfect.” Trump said he “did nothing wrong.” Trump said the impeachment inquiry was nothing but a “hoax” and a “witch hunt.” So, Trump’s GOP sycophants felt obligated to repeat such idiocy. They could not even express the slightest criticism of Trump’s conduct. They, like Trump, had to pretend it was “perfect.”
Which is downright surreal.
