Jim Himes: We Saw During Impeachment How Almost All GOPers in the Senate Are ‘Cowed’ by Trump

‘Many of these folks are good people who behind closed doors express a lot of concern about what the President does’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HIMES: “Well, you know, it’s a serious thing for then, right? We saw in the impeachment proceeding how all of the Republicans in the house and almost all the Republicans in the Senate are cowed by this president. They need to do what this president wants them to do or they lose their jobs. That’s the dynamic on capitol Hill right now. Many of these folks are good people who behind closed doors express a lot of concern about what the president does. But they know that if they step out the way Mitt Romney does, they will be treated by the president and by conservative organizations the way Mitt Romney was treated. So, but, again, this really isn’t about Donald Trump. This isn’t about Bernie Sanders. This is about the fact, I believe, to the core of my being that the Russians are going to try to do exactly what they did in 2016 again in 2020 and why wouldn’t they? The president of the united States didn’t hold them accountable for it. You know, there’s really never been any accountability other than a few indictments, other than the intelligence community sort of showing that we know what happened and the president then denying it. There’s really never been accountability for the Russians for what they did in 2016.”
