Republican Senator Describes Defending Trump From Impeachment As A “Horror Movie” | Deadline | MSNBC

  1. Waaw, wish Kelly would have resigned sooner instead of helping this psycho … had he done that, I could have respected him.

    1. @john Barry No, he’s not a quitter but when you enable a mentally ill, criminally inclined conman, are you helping the country or prolonging the misery?

    2. I think he should have left sooner. It doesn’t take a brainer to identify liars , and characters flaws. He is not stupid. And I do understand it is his career. But your ethics and morals come first. If you think of yourself a public servant, then you should be ashamed working to this freak so called president.

    3. I mean, from his perspective, he was doing his best to keep the president within the constitutional limits. In a way, it was a duty. Just because you don’t like him helping Trump not get himself thrown out of office, it doesn’t mean you can’t respect him for trying to fulfill his constitutional oath.

    1. …you might want to expand your news sources beyond just those two. I’m not some Fox News-watching red hat or anything, but those two definitely have a left-leaning bias

    2. arvidien He would never do that.
      His position is the only thing between him and an orange jumpsuit.

    1. @Arthur Schnapka – You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish. How’s the view from your Perch? Crappie? Yeah, mine too.

  2. Seems more like a $#!+ show than a horror movie .. But then depending on the day, the presidency of this illegitimately installed impostor could easily be called either or both…. take your pick .. both apply ..

  3. Sound like Kelly was protecting the criminal and still appears to be. I wonder what you were talking about when you told trump he would get impeached by getting a yes man. Subpoena Kelly

    1. Laurie Cloonan People are perfectly capable of thinking both of those things, in fact most people who object to Kelly, also oppose money in politics, when that is the topic being discussed. I’m not sure MSNBC would top my list of corporate media outlets I’m most concerned about, though it is certainly on the list. FOX would be my 1st concern, since it has the most viewers, yet the fewest fact checkers.

    2. Definitely, SUBPOENA .. kelly, tillerson, & others .. AMERICA is TIRED of trump’s B.S. IMPEACH & REMOVE

  4. You sleep with dogs, you get fleas. You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Any questions?

    1. @SorbusAucuparia They are stupid and have IQs 50 or below, intelligent people actually fact check and dont follow fuktard morons from Fox news when they spew hate and violence

    1. Nah, he has to be sacked before that.

      The GOP is ready to rig another election, they are trying to buy time

    2. @Tlot Pwist Agreed! The GOP plans to dump votes in order to win like the did in Georgia and Florida last November.

    1. I know it hurts to admit half of America are “human scum,” but unless you have evidence, suggesting Trump’s rally attendees are fake or paid is not productive. It reeks of the dishonest yells of “fake news” from his enablers, sychofants, and acolytes.

    2. Those stooges in the trump rally audiences have no idea they are props. In their delusional sleep mode they have no idea that the best they could be is service employees at one of Trump’s luxury properties. Not good enough to actually mingle.

    1. The only thing they’ve been able to try and latch onto is the process. And even then, it’s grasping at straws. Which is why I think only a few republican senators have actually spoke up to defend Trump

    2. @I’m tellin wrong . Its a something burger with cheese lettuce tomatoes and a large fries. Its a quid pro quo special.

    1. @cocomo Although I know no one is completely honest 100 % of the time, I am still christian and optimistic enough to believe that there are more good, kind people out there that have a working conscience than ones that don’t. Unlike that man in “OUR” White House.

    2. @Frosty 2319 They are telling you they changed their minds. people will tell you one thing and do another. Trump voters just let those ramble but come election day they will be voting Trump.

    3. @generationofswine Sick and really a bunch of cowards that nobody fears, kid yourself.. Scared of deplorables, lmfao.. C’mon man..

  5. What republicans in the House and Senate should really be asking themselves is do they really want to live through another 4 year long nightmare of trying to defend Trump.

    1. D Me I’d say they they consider BS national inquirer and FOX as legitimate news sources- While I wonder about their mentality, lol…..

    1. @Morborund Vavozo
      65 million at best, with 95% of you being impotent cowards. Try something, then you can be murdered legally.

    1. Trump is a symptom of the cancer that has been growing in the US for decades, fed by a devaluation of education by republicans and the big lie fed to us by Limbaugh, Fox Entertainment and their ilk.

  6. Moscow Mitch has no integrity, and he’ll vote for his self-serving interest rather than do the right thing if he can possibly get away with it. Vote that creep out.

    1. Are you stupid Kelly was the one keeping him from doing it. Kelly is talking about when he was resigning stupid. He was warning Trump that without someone like him there to say no Donny you can’t do that it is illegal. And he was right.

    2. You’re correct. Why didn’t Kelly whistleblow. It was his solemn duty to expose the sham, criminal that occupies the highest office undeservedly.

    1. Eduardo Cruze in 2016: “vote with your conscience”, ‘crowd’: “BOOOOOOOOOOOH” …. yepp… the evidence is there

    1. @Godstrumpet2010 Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!! that’s why the electoral college was put in place to stop people like Donald Trump from getting in. Not helping him get in.

    2. I never watched that stupid show. I could not tolerate seeing him pretending to be a human being. Obnoxious boor.

    3. someone who has been investigated and gone BANKTUP 6 TIMES and is known for his crimes and Grasping at WOMEN and YOUNG LADIES

  7. “They have their own futures and conscience to think about” thats cute, he still thinks Republicans have a conscience
