Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has offered a point of order in the Senate on the question of whether holding an"As of noon last Wednesday, Donald Trump holds of the positions listed in the Constitution. He is a private citizen. The presiding officer is not the chief justice, nor does he claim to be," Paul said.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called Paul's theory"flat out wrong by every frame of analysis" and moved to table the motion. Senators proceeded to vote on whether to table Paul's motion -- a procedural objection on the constitutionality of the trial, not on the merits of the case. However, the voteA"no" vote for senators means voting with Paul to dismiss the trial. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sided with Paul on questioning the trail's constitutionality.
Rand, a former doctor, was the only Senator who did not wear a mask as he signed the oath as a juror.
No. It is an act of cowardice and reflects more Trump AK-ing!

Potential President’s be VERY careful when voting at the Senate impeachment trial. Do the RIGHT vote not the EASY vote. We WILL be remembering how the GOP deals with the 1/6 crimes. we will not forget
He has become a traitor. I truly want him to look in the eyes of every National Guard person that now has to stand by to protect his butt and explain how he is protecting our Constitution and country!!
This guy has issues with the right side of the law. I've questioned his ethics since he was elected. His first comments after being elected was that he would have voted against the civil rights law.
He needs to resign.
They should call all 45 as witnesses to testify at the impeachment trial. Ask them tough questions about whether they publicaly support attacks on our democracy and explain how they felt and their actions on the day of the attack.
Shame and disgrace
He does exactly what 45DT is so practiced at doing. Twists the facts and declares a victory where none exists. The only vote that took place was whether to table the trial. We are about to have a trial. It is Time to convict to avoid a repeat of the attack on our USA !
Paul, you seems confused about the meaning between loss and victory, well, you must be republican!
Does he reckon gettin his ass beat by his neighbor was a victory too?
Every freaking one of them need to be voted out of office, both parties. Dem Congressmen fiercely encouraged protestors to keep on protesting as American cities burned. They encouraged Amer citizens to attack other citizens. What happened at the capital was awful but come on man!
'Bipartisan' is what is is, the call to impeach.
Idiot! Spineless! No backbone! John Birch society, ready your history books!
SHAMEFUL! Watch frontline it’s the facts we e all watched!!!
Donald J Trump should be criminal charges
Remember these Republicans and vote them out.
We’re you there when it’s mob attacked the capital. Do you count it as a win that you and 45 others don’t care what happened. I’m shocked this is not the Republican Party I was raised with. Shame on you!
This is not a victory its an abomination that the Republican party has no back bone and are so scared
I don’t understand how these people can look at their children knowing what they are doing
Was it a victory when you lost your teeth after your neighbor knocked them out
What he considers a win is a blow to our democracy.
So you show Trump he is above the law... is everyone else in this country going to be above the law as well? This is a very frightening thought
Maybe wqitinf to happen againg when this man are in office and do worth things.
Scary cats
A vote before the trial...
No you've lost your futures in politics. Trump will not be around forever.
This Country is more divided then ever, the Republicans and 70 million people believe in what has happened to our Democracy. What this revealed to the rest of the 80 Million people is your true Racist color.
History will cast them as the Cowards they truly are....but these are the same people who should have impeached him and we could have avoided the deaths and violence
I am so glad the republican party is finished after this. Keep supporting Trump and you guys will never have another president or a majority.
RandPaul SenTedCruz LindseyGrahamSC SenHawleyPress are clearly committed to destroying the Country. Good job. The damage you are doing under your ‘leader’s’ Flag is 1930s Germany. Hoping we don’t end up destroying the Constitution, but y’all are trying as false prophets.
Republicans have no integrity.
Nazis
J E R K
and a loser gets a win
SenRandPaul so you consider a victory is when an insurrection is swept away. DJT told the domestic terrorists to go to the capitol to find VP Pence & others. He also said he was going with them & then as usual ran away & left others do his dirty work. NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
That guy is a straight up cracker lmfao 🤣 I saw that interview on ThisWeek w/ GStephanopoulos looks like George finally found his balls again and put that fool in his place FACTS MATTER SorryNotSorry
But who will pay the money. For damage done at Capital?
A corrupted Republican.
He should be ashamed of himself
This guy smells like poop
RandPaul GOPLeader GOP Traitors to your party, traitors to your country.
For Trump. The spoiled child keeps throwing money
GOP you've made it clear police lives don't matter or any life. You should be ashamed of your decisions.
Parents & Teachers Must be Able to Show, Crime Doesn’t Pay; Consequences Grow! Anti-Role-Models’ Blatant Lawlessness, Out-of-Line, Serious Punishment Must Be the Fine! Authoritarian & Enabling Minions Disregarded Oaths & Ethics, WE Must Ensure Accountability & ‘Never-Again’ Fix!
Cowards and condoning of law breaking
Wow how sad that you Would let a man off that would have let them kill you had they got in . Smdh
Is there an option for a secret vote?
Trying to trow it out is deferent than hearing evidence then voting no. Maybe 17 will do the right thing. Great slogan!!!
A typical white man in America How long have they turned blind eyes to the misdeeds of their brethren The behavior is predictable and historically consistent The only practical solution to Racism is the elimination of the over representation of white men
Because the GOP is all about party before We The People. GOP needs to remember Trumps terrorists would have harmed them also if they could have gotten to them & lets not forget that Trumps terrorist wanted to hang VP Pence because he would not do what Trump wanted. GOPenablers
Trump doesn't need to be impeached to be held accountable for his actions. He's not the president anymore and can be sued by anyone.
Democracy or demagoguery? Which should we choose? If you go with the latter, the baby will have no shoes.
🥶
Your morals are All Fucked up if you're still loving 'trumps world' and you don't convict him 😠😠😠
We have a government full of spineless marys.
Wow on nationals TV and still deny that it happened. Way to go with your conscience. Great followers of the constitution. Somehow our world is falling apart and the politicians are not helping
So it’s a popularity vote... Jesus Christ. These people in power aren’t held accountable for their actions or lack of action.
The impeachment is a fucking joke
He should be charged with insurrection himself.
Man go fuck yourself💩💩💩
Unbelievable. Did they forget the siege already? They are all cowards.
He really can't read a room. The lose will continue to be the ousting of Republicans. If they refuse to hold Trump accountable we will hold them accountable. You're gonna lose your job to Paul. Count on it.
Americans and the world need to wake up to the murderous actions of the Israelis. Palestinian children are being abused and murdered for throwing stones. These children are kidnapped at night from there beds and thrown in cells to rot. Pure Evil
Wow, Trump really got this country running scared. So when this happens again...and it will but deadlier and possible a bit more successful. There won’t be any guardrails unless Congress gains members with an ounce of integrity and concern for this country.
Rand Paul you have activated my radar. Although I only have one small voice, you will find it measuring your stupidity every chance I get.
How long can MIT call himself a Republican. Voting will Democrats. He just hates Trump for winning
A corrupted Republican.
The SenateGOP HouseGOP are now representative of the Tyrants, the insurrectionist, the undermining of the legislature Etc. They are exactly what king George the III was & why the Declaration of Independence was written. The GOP have become the TYRANTS. CNN MSNBC RepRaskin
Idiots!
The good old boys club having one another's back! I thought we were so past this!
A victory for domestic terrorism
Why is anyone surprised this is the RandPaul that single-handedly held up anti-lynching bill. ExpelRandPaul Shameful btw what’s the fee for not wearing a mask in a federal building POTUS KamalaHarris
How on earth is this happening? As I detest comparing anybody to Hitler, can you imagine how different history would read if Hitler was stopped and prevented from holding power? God help you. ShameGOP FoxNews foxandfriends MeghanMcCain GOPLeader TheLeadCNN CBSNews NBCNews
Why is it a victory AT ALL? trump getting away with trying to overthrow OUR democracy is NOT a victory! He needs to pay for his evil doings!!
Republicans running scared, worried about their well-being instead of America and democracy! They are keeping racism, white supremacy, hatred, fascism and insurrection alive in America.
Embarrassing.
If they dismiss the crime of inciting riot their party is no political party but a cult.
You call letting go a criminal a victory? What you've lost by aligning yourselves with that wanna be dictator is your credibility. You're not even hiding your disgust for democracy and the rule of law.
Never Ever Listen to a man who wears a trible on his head.
He is sick. He has glazed eyes. He is mad, mania. Lost his sense of reality.
U can’t live forever, and the reckoning will come , puppet
That’s what happens in a country were even senators are villagers
Republicans are in process of destroying our democracy. Letting trump to get away from murder is not justice.☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠💩💩💩💩💩👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👺👺👺👺👺👺
Only a victory if you consider trump an innocent who should be allowed in the future to run for Federal office again. For those of us who consider him an inciter of an insurrection and one who attempted to use all the levers of power to destroy American democracy, it is a horror.
‘Trump almost got us killed but let’s give him another chance’
WTH is the matter with Rand Paul?!
Europe still can't understand so many American Politicians 90% Repubs of them are human waste GOP RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica
People died Senator. Resign.
Republicas believe they are above the law. Don't assume the consecuences of their actions. They ask for accountability for everyone else except themself. This is the government we want?
Wear a mask! No respect for your colleagues.
If republicans do not vote to convict Donald Trump, then the Party has truly morphed into a cult.
Oh no! Republicans suck.
He is such a joke!
He of all people KNOWS it's completely Constitutional. It's been done before. I thought he might be one of the few Republicans with an actual spine, and could do the right thing even when it wasn't popular. Guess not.
for China lol
Absolute victory for the Democrats. This vote demonstrated to the American people that Republicans are not about law & order when it applies to them. There is no room for that kind of party in a democracy. Time to dismantle them, one election at a time until they are all gone
Very bad mistake and you will shortly pay for it
Now can we get rid of Nancy
5 down, 12 to go. No problem!
🙄
When this ‘man’ is happy to loss, I have noOoo problem with that.
You have just set a terrible precedent for our Democracy. May God have mercy on you.
Where's the neighbor...
In a sign of excitement about green shoots, Americans amazed when 5 GOP Senators show they care more for their country, constitution and democracy than they do for their own self interest.
SeditionHasConsequences
These republicans only care about their parties not the well-being of the United States. What a tragedy that we have people like this in the senate
Corporate America there are more 45 Senators who want you to stop funding them. Including LeaderMcConnell RandPaul HawleyMO tedcruz TomCottonAR joniernst
History is watching and future generations of Americans will read about this cowardice. Any politician who claims a “win” will be eviscerated by our history books. They can run and hide short term but their names will be defined by their actions and enshrined in perpetuity
Can someone please tell me why most republicans are so bent on protecting a former president who left office with a 28% approval rating and incited a violent deadly attack on our Capital?
Can someone get his neighbor to show him them hands again!
Once again, it appears the American people will be impeaching Trump and expelling those in Congress who promoted and participated in his attempted insurrection. Starting in 2022, we will start to hold all 140+ GOP REPS, the US Senators,Trump Govs and AGs, 100% accountable! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Term limits we can’t have these old members of congress & senate running the country how they believe. This is not what this country needs. We need change and term limits would be the best thing for the country.
It's really shameful that these folks are willing to die with Trump. To think, the land of the free still has these folks in powerful positions willing to give the chief insurrectionist a free pass. But yeah, extremism doesn't exist.
He shows how busy a president he is😁
The modern GOP has become the old Soviet Communist party reincarnated! why don’t they just meet in the Kremlin and wipe clean all pretenses otherwise?
Wait for the pressure from constituents hits.
Like Trump's loss was America's victory
And nothing will change in the end because DonaldTrump almost certainly be unable to run for office again given all of his legal problems
This Republican wants a trial! I vote and I have a good memory.
So the Republican party is still in the pocket of Mr Trump? And this after his denial of a democratic election and incitement of an attack on Congress itself. Hard to now see a Rep limit to tolerance of poisoning a society. The sky is dark over the US elections 2022 and 2024.
A victory for authoritarianism, lies and an incipient dictator. And a green light for insurrection. Is RandPaul willing to live with the infamy? 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦
RandPaul How Can You and You Senator Friends Sleep At Night Knowing that trump Told His Followers to Go To The White House and Cause Chaos. People Died and People Were Injured. This Was A Coup Insurrection Try To Run for Re-Election
