Following a day of gut-wrenching surveillance videos depicting a violent, deadly mob teeming into the U.S. Capitol on January 6, some journalists covering Trump s impeachment trial expressed bewilderment at how Republican senators serving as jurors would be able to vote to dismiss the charges. How will they justify acquitting the man who sent a mob for them to stop the counting of electoral votes? asked CNN, wondering if, Republican senators will find their conscience changed, or vote the way Trump wants them to ?
On NBC, Chuck Todd stressed that Republicans faced a difficult choice because, History is not going to look kindly on this acquittal vote. Specifically, he mentioned how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was an traditionalist who cares about these institutions, and that he s keeping an open mind about impeachment.
