BREAKING: Dem Sen. Manchin Signals He May Vote to Acquit Trump, Calls For Trump’s Censure (VIDEO)
Joe Manchin
‘Moderate’ Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) on Monday called for President Trump to be censured.
Manchin said on Monday that he will not disclose how he will be voting on Wednesday, however he said ‘removing the President would add to the toxicity of the political climate.’
So he called for Trump to be censured instead.
Manchin seems to be looking for a different way to discipline the President, such as censure. He argues that removing the President would tear the country apart. He cites the words of late Dem WV Sen Byrd who talked about healing the country/Senate after the Clinton impeachment— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) February 3, 2020
Manchin said he is struggling with how to vote.
Manchin on how he will vote on the impeachment verdicts Wednesday: I am surely struggling with this decision and will come to this decision reluctantly.— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) February 3, 2020
BREAKING NEWS: Senator Manchin, a moderate Democrat who is friendly w/ WH, is now on the floor, calling for Pres. Trump's CENSURE.— Robert Costa (@costareports) February 3, 2020
This decision has been in the works for weeks, per person familiar.
Story soon @washingtonpost. Post has just obtained his censure resolution...
Manchin said he remains undecided on how he will vote on Wednesday, however, he signaled he might vote to acquit Trump.
Manchin spread lies about Trump’s phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The Democrat Senator from West Virginia claimed President Trump asked Ukraine for a favor before it can receive military aid from the US.
This is a lie made up by Schiff and the Democrats in order to smear President Trump. Ukraine received the military aid THREE WEEKS EARLY and they did nothing in order to receive the aid.
“I see no path to the 67 votes required to impeach President Trump…however, I do believe a bipartisan majority of this body would vote to censure President Trump for his actions,” Manchin said.
