"Well, I was stunned by Congressman Nadler's approach, and it reminded me that if we were in a normal debate in the Senate that the rule will be invoked to strike the words of the Senator, for imputing another Senator in this case," she said in a statement.
"So, I did write a note raising the issue of whether there had been a violation of the rules of the Senate, and I gave that note to Laura Dove, and well shortly thereafter the Chief Justice did admonish both sides and I was glad that he did," she added.Despite her objection to the remark, Collins said it would not affect her votes during the trial.
"The president is on trial in the Senate, but the Senate is on trial in the eyes of the American people. Will you vote to allow all the relevant evidence to be presented here? Or will you betray your pledge to be an impartial juror?" Nadler said. "Will you bring Ambassador Bolton here? Will you permit us to present you with the entire record of the president's misconduct?" he asked."Or will you instead choose to be complicit in the president's cover-up? So far, I'm sad to say, I see a lot of senators voting for a cover-up, voting to deny witnesses, an absolutely indefensible vote, obviously a treacherous vote.
"If the Democrats are smart, they won't put Jerry Nadler on the field again," Johnson said."He was so out of line. It's offensive accusing us of a cover-up."Geoff Bennett is a White House correspondent for NBC News.
Republican Senators have been subverting this process even before it started and there is a group effort to resolve it in Trump’s favor.
The truth hurts
BS! She is offended by Rep. Nadler words but not Corrupt actions and lawless behaviors of Trump, she talks nonsense. GOPCorruption GOPCoverup
thin skinned then vote them out
GOPCowardlyLionCaucus
Then stop covering up! You dont seems to care that trump told his lackeys to ignore congressional subpoenas.
The truth hurts or at least mightily upsets some folks
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
Can't face the truth. Why are the GOP against a proper trial format. One: witnesses and proper documents are needed. Two: if you have ever sat as a juror, you are not allowed food, drink, or talking to the person next to you. The Senate has no respect to proper procedures!
They were rude and combative with Republicans when the articles were being spirited past the courts and through the HOR, why expect any civility in the proceedings now. Honestly who cares, it’s not going to work and accusations will only offend who they’re trying to flip, useless
Why, seems true, why wouldn’t you want to hear testimony from those who know first hand what happened
Sounds like the truth ( and their conflict) has pressed a button.
Republicans get so offended. ❄️
Sorry Lisa but Nadler was correct and your grandchildren will wonder why you sided on the wrong side
And Nadler is exactly right. They ARE complicit in the cover-up.
RightsMatter
They sensitive now cause they know Trump did wrong. I have not seen nothing from no fighting the facts or the substance just straight lying. Make no mistake lying is not a good defense.
Then prove him wrong.
Year that’s what they will be doing. History will prove that.
Nadler's remarks are going to take a heavy hit in the deliberations!!!
They can't stand the truth.
Nadler failed to do his job and ahould be removed; the “in depth” investigation and inquiry was rushed and amateur
The DEM phrase of the day is ‘cover up’. Void of facts, they’ll repeat that innuendo ad nauseam. Have no doubt, it is an orchestrated in your face subliminal bloviating to dupe the public. The shelf life of this sham is expired and it’s starting to stink.
But thats what they do best. They things they do for money
What makes Murkowski a moderate?
He said what WE want to say.. and do say.. everyday..
Well they ought to be offended that they can’t speak their mind or vote their conscience for fear of a hate tweet or huge military blunder from POTUS.
He’s right. They’re offended because he spoke truth to them, and they aren’t used to that.
She’s stunned and insulted because it’s true.
Nadler is 💯 right! MitchMcCoverup and SenateGOP are turning the ImpeachmentTrial into a KangarooCourt! Americans won’t soon forget the GOP’s betrayal of their oath and duty to Office, Constitution, and the American people! GOPCoverup GOPCorruptionOverCountry
But they are so gtfoh
This is not the news. The impeachment and words of the other 70 some odd hours are. Focus on that. Do your job
I understand. What is a better word to use for those that refuse to allow any additional details or testimony?
Note to the republicans. Look back and see how history remembered those senators who backed Joe McCarthy. Those who do not learn will suffer the same fate.
Yet they are ok with Trump threatening them if they vote against him their head will be on a pike.
The truth hurts those not living in it or telling it. Words to live by!
And?! The truth hurts
GOP is corrupt
Phony outrage.
And I’m offended every day by the insults, lies, deceit, cover ups by our president and Republicans.
Why are they mad it’s 100% true. What do you do in a trial? You gather all evidence (witnesses included) before you go to trial. They don’t want witnesses because they don’t want to further incriminate the president
The GOP is complicit in trumps cover up. This Senate trial is a sham. It's time to vote all those snakes out of washinton.
He is correct SenateGOP must pay a price by losing power
They are a slanderous smear machine. Anyone can be ruined.
They were looking for a reason, any reason not to offend their cult leader.
Shocked! Shocked!
Basket is a freak of nature!
Looking for any excuse.
The truth hurts. Too bad. So sad. RepublicanCoverUp
Eventually the truth will validate the cover up and show Senators were complicit . Trump is not worth your support. Senators are not doing their job if they don’t convince voters what Trump is doing is illegal and not presidential.
Good! As they should! That was extremely insulting and crossed the line! Even the Chief Justice admonished him!
It would be a coverup!
Cause they r n they kno it n we will vote them out !!!
In a rush to impeach. Sit on papers for a month. Demand Senate do what the house thinks is fair. MSM cheers it on
Omg jerry nadler. Havent heard them crotoze Trump on tv.
They need to GET OVER WHATEVER they thought they heard and stay focused on the substance of what **The Magnificent 7** are saying!
How dare Nadler point out exactly what they are doing! I'm sure American's all over the country fainted at the thought that GOP Senators are abject cowards!🙄 ImpeachmentTrial GOPCorruptionOverCountry
Interesting that they are outraged by Nadler’s comments but not outraged by comrade trump’s behavior.
These people are so corrupt and so detached
Grow up, truth hurts
If she can't take the heat get the f*** out of the kitchen
Truth hurts.
YANGSURGE
moderate republicans should be “STUNNED” over how Trump committed impeachable offenses for his own self interest. please stop the games and be Senators.
Listen back in the 1800 they burned witches at a stake, looks like the Democrats, are thinking along those lines, when this is nothing this Impeachment but a true witch hunt, a hoax, a frame up, & the sad part is the taxpayers are footing the damn hoax bill.
lisamurkowski you are going to have to own your votes. A vote to dismiss before or to deny witnesses = coverup
Uh... what was lisamurkowski’s VOTE to guarantee witnesses and documents?🤔
Give me a fucking break.
But isn’t it true?
Um. Yeah. That’s Weak outrage.
To bad.
Despicable cover up..
So those who are sick of wasting time and resources on this sham are complicit? Not scared - this threat will backfire on Nadler -
The truth hurts!
The truth hurts.
There is no longer any kind of moderate Republican in the senate. They are all tRump sycophants and traitors. And really, who gives a shit if she was offended. They offend the rest of us daily. RightMatters TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump
lisamurkowski sometimes the truth hurts.
OFFENDED? THEY ARE OFFENDED?THEY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED! Well one very important juror is watching & listening, ME!!!!! you see my job as a voter is to Vote4Democrats 2 VoteOutTheGOP KeepTheHouse & TakeTheSenate 2 support our new Democrat President & Im doing just that
Is there a gentler term for cover up that they’d be more comfortable with?
Criticize away. He spoke the absolute truth. Now accept it.
The Cult is covering up their CoverUp and MSM is falling for it yet again.
But children and babies in cages..no problem
Stop being so touchy, Murkowski. You know that's what is going on with FoxNews and the GOP: disractions and cover ups. How did you vote on those choices?
Boo frikin’ hoo. After all the evidence presented, 3 republican senators won’t call witnesses? Murkowski needs to get real about the motivations for not calling evidentiary witnesses. Corporate money and RNC threats. BTW thanks CJ Roberts for Citizens United!
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck..
But they would be complicit in a cover up. After seeing how Trump obstructed the House, senators should be clamoring for documents and witnesses in order to have a fair trial and honor the oath they took. lisamurkowski SenatorCollins senatemajldr
lisamurkowski & SenatorCollins can take that fake indignation & outrage & shove it!! Sensible Americans will take them seriously when they take their jobs as protectors of our democracy & our Constitution seriously. Until then,...
I didn't know moderate Sen. Republicans skin was so thin! Too bad they can't hear what regular people say about them in my neighborhood right now! 😂
But she’s okay with the 16,000 + lies Trump has told? GTFOH
Nadler say remember Stun them in November
Well it is true
Republican is Republican i can't see any moderate one in this Trump era. They are too scared to confront him. Democrats will be making terrible mistake trying to convince them. They have decided and are just pretending. Try and onvince neutral electorates
If they do not allow a free and fair trial then they are complicit in a cover up. If they dont like it - good! Dont do it!
They will be complicit. No witnesses, no documents, no trial.
If the shoe fits Republicans are getting up and leaving the Senate chamber for extended periods of time instead of listening to evidence Sounds like looks like smells like cover up
SenateGOP ReapWhatYouSow
Well it’s simply the truth at this level republicans senators aren’t just innocent bystanders anymore. They can’t just ignore the facts and truth of this case. Ignoring this is knowingly and willingly participating in the current cover up. They will be accomplices to the cover up
Key moderate senator republicans always play the middle of the road and may do the right thing....until they don’t. No surprise.
Stunned, shocked that one would question them after they've defended and covered for Trump for 3 years. Oh please. Feigned indignation.
The truth hurts.
Voting to continue to block witnesses and documents (Obstruction of Congress), and voting to not enforce lawful subpoenas is indeed a cover-up. Where is the lie?
Well... they would be actually.
Did they call his manager?!? GTFOH!
