Senate Republicans find their "outrage".

Senate Republicans are fuming after Rep. Jerry Nadler accused them on the Senate floor of engaging in a ‘cover up’ to protect the president, seizing on his remarks Wednesday as a significant misstep that they say undercuts Democrats’ impeachment case,” Politico reports.

Said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI): “If the Democrats are smart, they won’t put Jerry Nadler on the field again. He was so out of line. It’s offensive accusing us of a cover-up.”

And maybe the world will stop pointing out that you’re covering up. But please stop whining about it.

anyone with your antics of covering up the truth of rump's misdeeds one bit, and if anything, you are bringing them more into the open for all to see by the American public, who can see this sham of a trial.

So, apparently it is hurting you guys real bad.

And yes, you are orchestrating a COVER-UP!

Otherwise you'd be conducting this trial with evidence and witnesses.

They are participating in a cover-up and everyone, except the true idiots, knows it. When he hides all the facts and brags about getting away with it, repugs will pay a price

Democrats will be sure to follow your timeless advice about what's offensive. By the way, have you found time to go down to the border yet, to see the squalid conditions we're inflicting on refugees? Or don't you want to bother your beautiful mind with suchlike?
