Yes, Let’s Not Be “Divisive”

Congress should be unified around impeachment.

The House voted 232–197 to impeach Donald Trump. Just ten Republicans voted to impeach.

Just ten.

The Republican argument against impeachment appears to have something to do with not being “divisive.”

Let’s be clear. The head of the Executive Branch incited a crowd to attack the Legislative Branch while it was in session. The Pentagon sat on sending in the National Guard for hours, and the President didn’t lift a finger to stop the attack. This is an issue that completely transcends partisanship. Unity means standing united in the position that such an attack is unacceptable and disqualifies a President from holding office.

The ones who are being divisive are the ones who are refusing to exercise the least bit of leadership in order to pander to the people who sympathize with what happened.

If the Republican Party isn’t dead after this, it certainly deserves to be.
