These republicans are disingenuous clowns.

Rep. McClintock, who I have never heard of before just now, "So what, that's politics!"
"If we had prosecuted BLM and Antifa, maybe this wouldn't have happened at all"

The Democrats are acting like this is a "Banana Republic because they won" everything.

"The lunatic fringe is trying to Impeach Trump."

The Both Siderism is going big in this ridiculous speech.

Accusing the Democrats as being petty, vindictive, and gratuitous.

Oh man.

And I lose my hope he will be convicted, maybe impeached by the same small democrat advantage with Liz Cheney.

Any hope that republicans have learned their lesson is not there at least in congress.

The GOP picked their angriest firebrands to speak today.

To your larger point - it will take time and consequences for the GOP to mend their ways.

Attack attack attack. This is why Trump and his traitor collaborators should be given no quarter.

We didn't kill anyone or caused millions of dollars in damage.

McClintock represents Northern California now (carpet-bagger that he is); but he still has that snarky viciousness that typifies SoCal Republicans (from Orange County, especially).

If I ever need a lawyer, I think I'd narrow it down to Democrats.

They were repeatedly reciting legal precedence while crushing the various specious arguments from the Republican representatives, and did it quickly from "muscle memory". Far-better trained in law overall, from what I observed.
