As Trump busts another norm, GOP responds with silence and support

1 / 2Trump JohnsonRepublican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, says there is nothing improper with President Donald Trump calling on the Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2019, in Madison, Wisconsin. Johnson says it is common for foreign governments to provide information to U.S. law enforcement agencies.

The responses followed a familiar pattern in the age of Trump. As the president broke another political barrier, his party leaders made no public effort to rein him in. Critics have argued that reaction has only emboldened the president, while doing lasting damage to the party and the presidency. Trump allies argue the president’s rule-breaking rhetoric is not as important as his policies, which they support.

Shortly afterward, speaking at an event in Arizona, Pence argued that the Bidens’ ties to Ukraine are of interest to the American people. "We'll see what comes out of their impeachment inquiry. They're not drawing up articles of impeachment yet," Tillis told The Associated Press in an interview Monday."What I've said is if they're basing this entire process on a now public, unredacted transcript and the whistleblower complaint, certainly that doesn't rise to a level of impeachment, in my opinion.

The office of Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, widely considered the most vulnerable Republican senator, issued a statement that didn’t reference Trump’s request of China. “The Senate Intelligence Committee is a serious and respected body that is looking into this in a bipartisan fashion,” the statement said.

Impeachment = civil war I mean back then it was serious, he lied about a blowjob, nowadays it's all trivia like 'he's obstructed justice dozens of times' or 'he's settling political grudges using the entire foreign policy apparatus' or 'he's enriching himself illegally using the office of the President' Because Republicans are hypocrites
