GOP senator who calls impeachment a 'hoax' says Democrats are too biased

( From yesterday news)

By Josh Israel -January 17, 2020 4:42 PM

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is complaining that Democratic colleagues running for president against Trump cannot be 'impartial' when it comes to his alleged high crimes and misdemeanors.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has dismissed the impeachment of Donald Trump as a "hoax" and said her colleagues should not trust anything the House managers present in the impending trial. But on Friday, she accused four Democratic colleagues of not being "impartial" because they are seeking the presidency.

Blackburn, appearing on Fox Business Network, argued that Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Michael Bennet (D-CO) are each campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination and thus must want to see him removed from office.

"When you look at the fact that these four candidates are spending hundreds of hours and millions of dollars to defeat Donald Trump and they take an oath to provide impartial justice," she said, "I think that is a difficult standard for them to meet." She noted that she thinks they should "step aside" from the trial."

"They got sworn in yesterday to be a juror, to provide impartial justice and they're going to be campaigning against him this weekend in Iowa," Blackburn continued.

How much Russian/Chinese/other foreign money have you taken, you nutbag? Sounds to me like you are just another in the long line of GOPers who are terrified of being exposed in all of this.

I think they need to STFU. Can you imagine the shoe being on the other foot? If a Dem even did 1/100 of the criming Trump does, they would be driven to the point of insanity.
