McConnell has been decried by Democrats over his partisan stance on the impeachment proceedings.
Responding to the Republican leader's comments, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday said: "I am utterly amazed what Mitch McConnell said." The House is poised to impeach Trump on Wednesay, when it's set to hold a vote on two articles of impeachment approved by the House Judiciary Committee last Friday. The impeachment process will then move on to a trial in the GOP-controlled Senate.
Senators, who will serve as jurors, will take an oath of impartiality at the start of the trial. But McConnell, as well as other Senate Republicans such as Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, are seemingly of the belief they are not beholden to this oath in what they view as a nakedly partisan process.Graham told CNN
: "I am trying to give a pretty clear signal I have made up my mind. I'm not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here." Graham dismissed the impeachment proceedings as "partisan nonsense." NOW WATCH:
Thank you Senator McConnell, and thank you President Trump! May both keep up the excellent work!
There is no bipartisan support for impeachment. But there is bipartisan resistance against it. Heck, one Dem was so disgusted, HE SWITCHED PARTIES becoming a Republican! And a few others are voting against it.
GOP will regret it if they don’t have a fair trial.
Words spoken by the 'do-nothing' partisan king of the Senate. McConnell is a national disgrace to Congress and makes the majority of American voters despise Congress and the toxic, corrupt political system that he has helped create and maintain.,
McConnell looks like a love-sick puppy in this photo.
