Sen. Chuck Schumer: ‘Those Who Say Let’s Move on, That Brings Unity, Are False’

‘The Senate has a solemn responsibility to try and hold Donald Trump accountable for the most serious charges ever, ever levied against a president’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: "But first I want to say a word on impeachment. The Senate has a solemn responsibility to try and hold Donald Trump accountable for the most serious charges ever, ever levied against a president. Those who say, 'Let’s move on, that brings unity,' are false. When you had such a serious invasion of the Capitol, incited by a president who we know urged people, told people the election was false, urged people to come to Washington, urged people to march on the Capitol; the Senate has to find is he guilty of inciting the violence that ensued. When you have such a serious charge, sweeping it under the rug will not bring unity, it will keep the sore open and the wounds open. You need truth and accountability. I believe the managers will present a very strong case. The evidence will be powerful. The evidence, some of it, will be new. And I urge all my colleagues to pay careful attention to the evidence.”
