Rachel Maddow points out that several Republican legislators were stalwart supporters of Ukraine who spoke out when Donald Trump held up Congressionally approved aid, but that support appears to have found its limit at holding Trump accountable for abusing his office and using that aid as leverage in a political scheme. Aired on 1/28/2020.

Republicans Who Stood Up For Ukraine Aid Quiet On Trump Scheme | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
They have placed politics above country.
@The Last Twinkie ahahahahahaha, god you are so indoctrinated. It doesn’t even merit a real response, especially considering its impossible to prove a negative. Feel free to provide positive proof of your assertion, in fact good luck with that.

@altitude illume your ramblings are incoherent and I’m willing to bet you have no understanding of civics.
So stand up to Mitch now in the senator you did it before ?.
Donna McDonald The actual story:
Biden
“I’ll pay you Ukranians a billion $ USD if you pay my kid a few million and give him prosecutorial immunity!” Aka (QUID PRO QUO)!!!!!!!
TRUMP
“Can you see if there was a crime there? It doesn’t pass the smell test.”
Democrats
“TRUMP’S A CRIMINAL MOB BOSS! IMPEACH HIM!”
It is this simple.
@15k DOW 2022 no, the real story is this one, you moron

@15k DOW 2022 and this one

Humble and politician, are not words that align.
Hypocrisy; however, fits like a glove.
What did Lindsey Graham & co get up to that enabled Putin to change their mind on defending Ukraine from Russian invasion?
@Parslow Pongbert Dodgers. Bet Parnas knows.
After all these years, Rachel should know better that politicians are some of the lowest in moral character.
Rachel is so amazing and articulate 💙
@Erick Scherzy everyone knows what you are doing
@Erick Scherzy your TDS is showing, baby girl.
@William Esselman What is Erick Scherzy doing? You seem to know and I am curious to know what you know:
@karin backstrom you already know for sure what I’m talking about
Erick Scherzy She is a great propagandist. A modern day Tokyo Rose of USA.
Sometimes fighting is easier than telling the truth.
Yep, the Russian trolls and Trumpist idiots are here in force.
@TheMaryam1891 pssstttt…. they are everywhere.
You guys are so funny.
@Rafiki I love this one… talking less? All the dems do is gasp breathlessly infront of cameras all day for years now about trump. They literally talked themselves into an embarrassing and damaging impeachment that trump is soaring high on. Not only wont he be impeached he likely will be elected again and with both houses coming with him.
@jboss119 cool buddy
We will all see
Remember me of that “lock her up” thing
Remember how there was 6 Benghazi investigations and none were obstructed?
Good times
@jboss119 you have to be delusional to think Trump is benefiting from this impeachment
Hahahahaha
@Rafiki did you forget about Bernie again?… seems so.
Only in lefty land are people concerned, most, honestly, dont care or think its nonsense.
The question for each Senator is this. Do I vote for integrity or do I vote for my next election?
ruth depew The actual story:
Biden
“I’ll pay you Ukranians a billion $ USD if you pay my kid a few million and give him prosecutorial immunity!” Aka (QUID PRO QUO)!!!!!!!
TRUMP
“Can you see if there was a crime there? It doesn’t pass the smell test.”
Democrats
“TRUMP’S A CRIMINAL MOB BOSS! IMPEACH HIM!”
What two faced proof of selling their souls.
Hey Rachel, always enjoy listening to your well researched monologues and particularly this one which, judging by the number of dislikes, has sure hit a nerve.
And finally.
Shokin was caught red handed

@15k DOW 2022 You’re an unthinking Trump tool, and a fool to boot.
End of story.
Cori MacNaughton no impeachment… what do you know- yet another dem fail. Oh sorry, we didn’t tell you guys yet. Forget what I just said and go back to sleep dear
It’s almost that I think the Dems should ask Maddow to run for president. She’s so sharp, so spot on. She’s a joy to listen to.
@15k DOW 2022 Biden and Obama, when in office, had their faults, agreed. But none of them betrayed the constitution of the US. None of them told a friendly nation that “if you don’t do as I tell, and help me find some dirty sh*t on my opponent, I will work against what the congress has decided and withold your country the support our states had agreed upon”. No president has before, to my knowledge, tried to do this kind of mad deals for personal gain. And it’s to prohibit those kind of actions, we’ve got the constitution and the impeachment process. Trump needs to be taught a lesson. And it’s nobodys fault, but his. Even a president needs to follow rules and laws. At least a president in a free democracy.
15k DOW 2022 … at one point in Trump’s presidency, all the branches of government were majority Republican controlled. They could have investigated the Biden issue at that time. Why is it that, suddenly when Biden leads in the polls, his “corruption “ has become an issue that can no longer be ignored? Why weren’t you clutching your pearls and screaming for investigations into the Biden’s when this originally happened…? I’m really surprised at your obvious lack of intelligence and fake outrage. You will believe any and everything Trump says without any objective thought of your own…🤔 fascinating
At this point, even high school kid is more qualified than the prez
@15k DOW 2022 you have a SEVERE problem with FACTS. Tell PUTIN Americans are NOT ALL STUPID just the republicans ie trumpicans
What did Lindsey Graham & co get up to that enabled Putin to change Graham’s mind on defending Ukraine from Russian invasion?
Truth needs no defense but lies only get you more lies!!!!keep up the great work and video’s!!!!
Rachel, just to say, that you sure ruffle a lot of feathers. Keep on rufflin’. You do a great job.
Well this confirms it ,he’s got dirt or threats on ALL OF THEM….
Maybe… or they could be suffering a severe lack of moral fiber and integrity
PAID investigation on AMERICAN TAXPAYERS
Once again Rachel is very calmly and pointedly getting the truth out! The world is a much better place because of you Rachel. Thankyou
Lorraine Enman-Eldred Remembrance when she told us the Steele dossier was verifies? For 2 whole years? It turned out to be garbage. What a propagandist!
@Rod that’s a lie, the report stated that the FBI did not act with any bias
You can lie, but you can’t change reality

Beautifully said, Rachel. You just made my day. Schiff said it best. Here, right matters.
What would happen if Ukraine asked for another military aid package from America. Would the majority of Republicans vote for or against the aid…
When I was a kid I loved running outside in my bare feet first thing in the morning during Summer and getting my feet wet from all the dew gathered on the grass. I wish we lived in that world again.
Kennedy is the JOKE of Louisiana. He so DUMB! a word he chooses to use to describe his House Rep.
