Colbert: All the Senate Republicans Have Are Lame Excuses on Barring New Witnesses

‘No, it hasn’t — Senate Republicans have failed’

RUSH EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Here’s why things look grim for Schiff’s argument: On Friday, the Senate voted against calling witnesses in the impeachment trial 51-49. Tough weekend all around for 49-ers. Ever since the vote, Republicans have been coming up with lame excuses. Like Alaska senator and woman amazed that the cruise ship magician took her pearls, Lisa Murkowski. Senator murkowski announced on Friday she would be voting against witnesses, explaining, “I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.” No, it hasn’t. Senate Republicans have failed. And you’re one of them.”
