In the wake of Donald Trump’s impeachment acquittal, the GOP civil war has begun in earnest. Some, like Lindsey Graham, have decided to go all-in on Trumpism. Others are in talks to start a third party. MSNBC’s host of “American Voices” Alicia Menendez and her all-star panel discuss what it all means.

Trump’s Impeachment Acquittal Widens Rift Within The GOP | MSNBC
First step to solving any problem is recognizing there is one.
Good Comment – you win today.
@MR. NØßODI it was grandma Nancy P cloned
@Mike you’re a joke. The Republican have shamed America.
@C Sharpe you are talking off the wall like an insurgent, do you have orange lips? You brain is shot insulting smart people for no reason
GOP= Geriatric Old People
SDNY and GA “stand back and stand by” 😂
Indictments, trial, and conviction for the teflon Don
Great
SDNY, GA and NY: Load and lock and put Trump in prison NOW! Don’t wait!
It is what it is 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👍 Lawd,l hope you’re right. 📣 Disqualify the 🍊 face man!
Mitch! Thanks for continuing to show us how much of a snake you are.. Dems full steam ahead.
Now you are insulting snakes! He truly is a POS in the true definition of the word!
Replublican senators gives giant middle finger to America.
Congressional dems too
Sure did. Back at them
@SEEMS LEGIT cry more kid.
@SEEMS LEGIT as an African American how can you support a man like that. He has treated the African Americans horrible in the past and now too. You need to think about that.
Republicans are the new Confederacy
Understood. Also, a parallel to the actions of ISIS in them.
@whalesong999 You mean the group Obama funded and Trump destroyed?
Same old confederacy. It is time to face up to it and finally end the war of 1860. Time to end the confederacy once and for all. We didnt put out the fire of racism then and let it’s embers smoulder through reconstruction, the daughters of the confederacy, the great myth, the jim crow era, and now the big lie. Remember, the confederate flag came before and is the pappy of the nazi flag and both were, and still are the mortal enemies of the United States of America. Mine eyes have seen the glory. I’m with the Union.
Meet the new Confederacy, same as the old Confederacy…with a side of Vanilla ISIS.
@BostonBruins 88 facts!
One thing I don’t understand: Why is everybody expecting that the criminal Trump will be a free man in 2022??
Oh, I see, there is no rule of law in America. My bad.
Bill Cosby is a talented man who made money for people, but he was promptly, rightfully drummed out of the business when his true character was exposed – no matter what the outcome of his trial was going to be.
Whether you thought Trump was guilty of incitement or whatever you thought about his character before the riot, he proved that his character was repulsive with his reaction to it.
Any argument about his using the word, “peaceful” in his tweets is absurd. The US PRESIDENT tweeted against his own VP as rioters hunted him and US LAWMAKERS down at the US CAPITOL. Trump argued against immediately sending backup and calling-off the mob. That’s inexcusable.
It’s bad enough that most Republicans refused to drum him out of the business for his disgusting character and clueless inability to even understand the situation at the Capitol. But to blame Democrats for not giving him a free pass and to call Dems ridiculous for demanding accountability is disgusting.
Republicans, YOU created that Frankenstein. Trump is the best you can come up with?? So much so that you can’t let him go? You need him – and only him – so badly to promote policies that aren’t even unique?
He’s the only one who can promote America first policies? He’s the only “outsider” you can find? NEWS FLASH: ALL presidential candidates talk about border control and keeping jobs in America. ALL who can sell themselves as outsiders and “regular guys” have ALWAYS done so.
A plane needs both a left and a right wing to fly. They only want to bolt a gun turret to a battered, broken right wing to shoot-off the left one.
@J Groovy Trump is a hero and will be your president again 😁
@J Groovy Well said.
@Sniffy Biden kool story kid.
Sniffy Biden
“God Bless Donald Trump the best president in history.Cant wait to get this hero re-elected again”
Me too. Trump can’t run for president in the United States ever again so I hope he finds some other country to destroy. He lost this election because the majority of Americans are sick of Trump’s crimes and lies. My gosh that must eat you alive. Sounds like a personal problem to me.
Graham is a disgrace plain and simple, and why anyone would give him credability or a platform after he’s flip flopped more than a homeless person in a rehab ought to question their own motivations for doing so. Corruption corrupts absolutely.
The Republicans just gave a child a loaded gun enjoy what you have made.
@SuperAnnieq there riding the new river slime train
@Alaska Pirates white supremacists, not new
@Mike only these NEARLY succeeded at installing trump as dictator.
Looks like I lit up the board
@Alaska Pirates you could have found better than a NYC grifter, first mistake
“My friend, Richard Burr”. In Graham’s foul mouth, those words are a joke. His “friendship” with John McCain meant nothing to him.
@Chantel Sutton 😎
So low
Something went on during all of those golf outings with Graham and Trump. Trump somehow brought him into the cult with no ability for Graham to escape.
@Hat Bpto probably, maybe they shared golden showers, either way🤮
Graham is not the guy you would want sharing a FOX – hole with …. a COWARD of a man
The GQP, even if it survives, will lose major elections for decades.
The problem is, thanks to its all out assault on the rule of law, that may not even matter anymore.
I hope you are right!
In 2022 GOP will recover the Congress. In 2024 President Trump will be reelected back to the White House.
@Albert Mas One term, lost popular vote twice, IMPEACHED TWICE. All that winning!
I think the average American is going to give the middle finger to the GOP!
Which half of the “average American” ?
Laura Dump – if shes the future, the GQP is f#$%@d
What does trump have on Lindsey..he looks really stressed out.
Lindsey is compromised. The Russians got things against all of them. People running for public offices must not do creepy things.
Trump has finally made America great, he’s split the conservative vote.
His acquittal is unconstitutional, since the Republicans say is unconstitutional why they voted to acquit the monster. UTTER MADNESS.
Graham in 2016 : “We should have kicked Trump out of the party”..
And wasn’t he correct ? DJT made WHITE nationalism legit again, and now it’s the political base that Repubs need.
What boggles my mind is the fact they were “damned if they did, damned if they didn’t” why didn’t they uphold the oath they took and vote to convict.
43 US Senators have sworn their
allegiances to an outside entity
because that’s EXACTLY what
Donald Trump is.😳😳
There are still many trials ahead for the former president. Literally.
Here are many ahead of the current
The GOP dug their own political grave…now they have to lie in it.
You’ve been saying that ever since 2003. Oddly enough, it’s never come to pass.
