If President Trump was such an existential threat, why did Speaker Pelosi rush the impeachment only to wait twelve days to send the article to the Senate? (2/5)

If the purpose of this trial is to remove a president, that was already done on January 20th when President Trump left the White House. (3/5)

We need to get back to the people’s work. We need to get vaccines distributed, save small businesses, safely re-open schools, and get our economy back on track—I’m here to do that. Anything other than that is simply a distraction. (5/5)

Accountability and justice is not a distraction. The outgoing president staged a violent insurrection and failed coup. You #GOPTraitors wasted 4 years chasing "emails" and investigating Benghazi. #GOPHypocrisy
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Holding the president accountable for inciting an insurrection and threatening democracy is the people’s business. Your platitudes are meaningless drivel to hide your fear of Trump and Trumpers. Sad.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
You know the answer to your questions & the GOP led by vampire #MoscowMitch is framing this as tho the Senate can do only one thing at a time. We just suffered a horrifying attack, perpetrated by Trump, on the Capital. I don't understand your fear of standing up to this traitor.

I'm stunned at this total BS attempt to rationalize your continued support of a criminal potus. Ok, maybe not stunned. #infuriating #sad #ridiculous

You need to ban Trump from ever holding elected office again. That's what you need to do. His craziness is a poison to the Republican party, which is a shell of its former self. I can no longer identify as Republican. Way too many lies, way too many crazy conspiracy theorists.

We need ti hold Trump responsible for what happened on January 6th. FUll stop

So tRump’s incitement of a violent insurrection against the Capitol Building while both Houses were in session and the building was locked down is nothing more than a distraction? Are you not sick of having to give up your ethics, morality & manhood for the party of tRump?
