Hillary Clinton angrily attacked Republican senators who cleared President Trump of all charges in the sham impeachment trial on Wednesday, accusing them of betraying their oath to the Constitution and warning that American democracy is “entering dangerous territory.”
“As the president’s impeachment trial began, Republican senators pledged an oath to defend the Constitution,” Clinton fumed following the Senate acquitting President Trump on both charges.
“Today, 52 of them voted to betray that oath—and all of us,” she warned. “We’re entering dangerous territory for our democracy. It’ll take all of us working together to restore it”:

Happy Acquittal Day!
Article 1: NOT GUILTY
Article 2: NOT GUILTY
The President will be forever acquitted of these sham impeachment charges.
As the curtain closes on this terrible Schiff Show, let’s hope there is never a sequel produced of this corrupt, rigged, rushed hit job.
