Sen. Mitch McConnell (R‑KY) is report­ed­ly telling fel­low Repub­li­cans in the Sen­ate that the tri­al of for­mer Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump is a con­science vote, mean­ing they should have no qualms about vot­ing to impeach Trump even if they think the tri­al is unconstitutional.

Even though McConnell vot­ed against bring­ing the mat­ter up on tri­al, he may ulti­mate­ly vote to con­vict the for­mer pres­i­dent using this rea­son­ing. This would be arguably the worst betray­al yet of many from the Repub­li­can estab­lish­ment against Trump and the Amer­i­can people.

The GOP is usu­al­ly the par­ty of the Con­sti­tu­tion, but when it comes to join­ing the Democ­rats to impeach Trump after he has left office, McConnell appar­ent­ly thinks vio­lat­ing the Con­sti­tu­tion is just fine.
