Lawrence O’Donnell argues that Doug Jones, even more than Mitt Romney, took the hardest and most politically courageous vote in voting to convict Trump on both articles of impeachment, because Jones jeopardized his own re-election to stand up for what he believed in.

Our elected leaders are there to serve the PEOPLE, and not their own careers! If their own careers are more important than serving the people who elected them, they are UNQUALIFIED FOR THE JOB!!!
Well said! 👍🏼👍🏼
Or even disqualified themselves
And Mitt Romney is a man honor he did not fall for them lies no matter what nobody say he follow his heart and that means a lot you have to follow your heart I am very sorry for the Republican Party but they know that President Donald J Trump was guilty jmw
I guess you voted for romeny and not for a kenyan with Indonezian citizenship , right ?
Romney is a stinkin’ RINO , like John McCancer .
Then, TRUMP WON AGAIN< LIB ! Trump is a winner

Finally after 3 years of chaos with this president and 2 years of investigation by Muller team. This president got away again .we should give credit to Democrats for bringing articles of impeachments against this president .I also appreciate the courage we saw from some Democrats who risked their political position for the sake of country.we also shouldn’t forget Mitt Romney Courageous vote.
He’s done nothing wrong. That’s why he was found not guilty.
@MrLaughingcorpse WOW. you must be living in another world my friend. HE HAS broken the law SO MANY TIMES IN LAST 3 YEARS ,WE LOST COUNT. He was acquitted because Republican hold the majority and kept him in the office,not because he is innocent.
@MrLaughingcorpse Even the Republicans who voted to acquit said he did something wrong. They just said they didn’t care. We should get them all Melania’s jacket.
The implications are obvious. Before I listened to the count I thought about Doug Jones. Respect.
Trump have infected WH and GOP Senators with evil mobster virus. Vaccine only available in Nov 2020.
Good one
@Powell Languages Doesn’t bother us, because it isn’t true.
@James Dunn Electoral college is their for a good reason, and has nothing to do with Putin.
@Bob Bart This has nothing to do with Chew Toys, and we don’t bow to people in America.
Moscow Mitch and his sheep senators are the definition of spineless , self serving traitors to the constitution , law and order and the American people ,,, Blue Wave ,,Nov
*GOP – Grand Oath-breaker Party*
@brian Lohse Not so fast. There is an election coming up and we will see which color crashes. Right now, there are more red senators than blue ones. So this “vote” was a surprise to no-one.
Looks like another blue mud puddle to me. The Democratic party will never back Bernie, that’s a fact.
He rose above the evil to do the right thing.
@Del tool
@Mike Rutherford you mad bro…yeah you mad 😂😂😂
Amen to that!
@n smith mad..?? No… Why should I be mad, they are gonna investigate all these goons and you can tell Pelosi is tripping about all this Chucky, Bernie, they are all to pieces, and the Democrats are forced to believe Pete Buttguy is winning, Obama said he would chill Bernie, everyone but white people are out which exposes the lefts hypocrisy, why would i be mad, Trump was exonerated, and they have to try to impeach again because they are scared of all this.. things are getting better by the minute,.

America will go down in history as a lawless nation. Come November DT and all those who supported him will be beaten so severely that it’s beyond recognition.
I’m not a Romney fan, but that was sheer guts and integrity. Respect to you, Sir.
David Coleman….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Romney won’t be remembered in a couple of weeks. He got used and now will be discarded.
@bingbonga binga Time will tell how Romney will be remembered. He certainly is part of history!
I totally agree with you David…. Never thought I’d ever say I have so much respect Mitt Romney
The Republicans made Mitt Romney a hero. Midnight Mitch, Nunez, Jordan and those other Trump dogs will be cursed forever.
@tRumpet troll Killer Trump was exonerated again. That is forever…twice.
Lev Parnas says he has receipts, and he has so far.
@Billy B agree. Dogs are great animals – 45fake followers on the other hand………
well see bout that! Q
@tRumpet troll Killer Wow. I am impressed.
In the darkness, one candle shines the brightest.
Mitt Romney And Doug Jones of Alabama, showed much courage.
Doug Jones surely put a nail in his own political coffin in Deep Red Alabama. That is a commitment to Ones Own Truth.
@James Irving They’re pretty stupid, but I will never vote for Roy….
@Jenna Wingate yes!
Backwoods Alabama.
Maybe not, he did get elected in the first place…
John Kennedy said that there was a reason why Profiles In Courage was such a short book. Very few people have it.
Jones has made a name for himself that will go down in history as one of the men that stood up against in-justice. Country over votes!
Remember remember,
The 5th of February,
The Dotard, and treason and plot,
When the turd clown was acquitted
By the corrupt and dim-witted
Once evidence was suppressed and forgot
Exellent ditty.
Tessa Rossa… well said, cleverly created, totally accurate.
@William Mccaskill True happiness is when Karma has it’s say!!!!
Anyway. Nothing else to say except, whatever, you’re right. Don’t message me.
I love MSNBC, and I’m so proud of Mick Romney, but makes me even more disappointed in the republican senators that let Trump get by with stomping on our constitution!!! They didn’t have to remove him, just hold him accountable for what we all know he did!!
Mitt Romney
The GOP has enabled the moron to do whatever he wants. Remember this in November folks, VOTE BLUE 2020!
Vote the kind of blue that wouldn’t prefer Trump to working people’s rights.
Sorry Libs ! Democrat have no chance in 2020 election !
2020 is a GOP election success.
never in a million years
Sure, @tractor. As long as GOP continues cheating and lying while Democrats aren’t above the law.
Shows how pathetically weak and cultish the GOP are. When upholding the constitution and law is put as brave.
too bad that Romney isn’t a drinking man. He’d never have to pay for a beer again in his life.
Trump* and OJ Simpson have a couple things in common, They love golf, share the same lawyer (alan dershowitz) and both have been acquitted, (but OJ wasn’t Impeached)
TRUMP KEEPS WINNING…AMERICA WON…HATE LOST…4 MORE YEARS OF TRUMP WILL WASH THE OBAMA LIBERAL STAIN AWAY FOR GOOD…BARR AND DURHAM WILL EXPOSE OBAMA COUP THIS SPRING…FINALLY AMERICA WILL BE RETURNED TO REAL AMERICANS…2020 WILL BE AMERICA’S BEST YEAR IN 30 YEARS.4TH OF JULY WILL MEAN SOMETHING AGAIN,FOUNDING FATHERS WOULD BE PROUD.
