Lawrence: Doug Jones Put His Career On The Line To Convict Trump | The Last Word | MSNBC

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.

  1. 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!!!

  2. 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

    1. 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

  3. 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.

    1. @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.

    2. @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.

  4. 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

    1. @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.

    1. @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,.

  5. GOD BLESS YOU DOUG JONES 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. 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.

  7. The Republicans made Mitt Romney a hero. Midnight Mitch, Nunez, Jordan and those other Trump dogs will be cursed forever.

  8. 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.

    1. John Kennedy said that there was a reason why Profiles In Courage was such a short book. Very few people have it.

  9. 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!

  10. 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

  11. 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!!

  12. Shows how pathetically weak and cultish the GOP are. When upholding the constitution and law is put as brave.

  13. 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)

    1. 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.
