After excluding House Republicans from his defense team, President Donald Trump announced Monday night that eight of them would serve as his personal warriors.
Republican Reps. Doug Collins , Mike Johnson , Jim Jordan , Debbie Lesko , Mark Meadows , John Ratcliffe , Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin will "serve as part of his team working to combat this hyper-partisan and baseless impeachment," according to a White House news release Monday.
During the trial, only Trump’s defense team and the House Democrats’ impeachment managers will be allowed to substantively debate on the floor. Senators will be limited in what they can say during the proceedings. But the House Republicans can now aggressively defend Trump on television, leaving Senate Republicans to stick to trial business as impartial jurors and avoid criticism for going on air.
Trump had been fuming both privately and publicly for weeks before the House’s public impeachment hearings began that Republicans weren’t doing enough to defend him. But that changed after the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees hearings got underway, according to several people familiar with the situation.
The lying force team.
McConnell won’t allow media coverage, but Jim Jordan and the rest of these lackeys will deliver the message to the base-
This is the perfect GOP model... seen but not heard! Gym “let them sexually abuse” Jordan will be there without a jacket and told to shut the fuck up!
Jordan will be yelling and screaming, and Collins will see how many faces he can make.The rest will be just plain stooges.
Cocaine Mitch Kangaroo court will backfire on them...A reckoning is coming in the fall GOP will be wipe out...
Include the loudest and dumbest .. what could possibly go wrong?
Cry more. You knew this is how it ends.
Trump just pulled an end run around McConnell's plan for a fast formal Senate acquittal. He had asked Trump to keep his noisy House 'warriors' away, but now they'll be blasting away at the press, which McConnell hoped to isolate. Sun Tzu would say this battle will lose the war.
He doesnt realy care about the case against him . He already feels he's a Winner because he has already f**ked up the whole world.
What?
tRUMP loves his cheerleaders.
PARTISAN? WOW.
They'll probably stand outside the Senate chambers and yell nonsense
Remember Americans: When tyranny becomes the law, rebellion is a right! Keep this country a democracy. Enjoy it while you have it!
The team of rapists should feel right at home with the flock.
I'll be the magnificent 7 against the Bandidos. Save the Republic REMOVE TRUMP, and his ruffians.
Aye! Look! It’s lackey GYM Jordan. You know the one who can’t seem to find his coat and didn’t have the decency to report sexual abuse at OSU.
WTFEver.
the 'cult' is called Partisan Warriors . really snappy .
A/K/A Republican screamers.
A clown show
Yep! The Big Top
Another Trump shit show. So embarrassing.
Guess Politico was wrong......... again.
He has 24 hours to fill, with no defense
I’d like to see these knuckleheads stay quiet and not sit there without their phones too.
Someone has to get the coffee.
He’s looking to make this a circus. I’m sure many in Republican leadership are dismayed. Once again it’s time for an audible. I still have the feeling he will want to testify. His ego demands it.
What are they going to do? Stand on the sidelines and pray? Polls say the American people want Trump gone. Truth is on that side and Truth always prevails.
Trump recruits House allies for his defense
With or without bone spurs?
Criminal warriors.
Circus comes to the Senate. What a laughing stock
'The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth.' - Alan Dershowitz, impeachment counsel to the President.
BettyFellows AKA. 8 Ring Circus!
They can muddy up everything, but it won't help. Sure, the GOP will cover up and carry water for him to get him off, but he's as guilty as sin and voters know. We know what he did.
Pretty soon realDonaldTrump will be recruiting the talking turd from South Park as his lead defenses attorney!
Hahaha! Cool more garbage!
I’m really starting to feel real sympathy for CJ Roberts. At least I can turn down the volume on my TV ...
What a bizzare way to word this?
Oh my gosh! They will be spouting off and screaming all the time!
Real image of Trump’s partisan warriors:
I don’t think this is what our founding fathers intended when they talked about separation of power, although I may be mistaken.
Traitors, each one of them will be remembered for their reckless disregard to defend our democracy.
Dems keep forgetting... there was no crime!
I think the Dems should just surrender. How on earth can they hope to compete with that collection of intellectual giants?
These congressional representatives need to all lose. They have decided to light the Constitutional on fire and that they will support an authoritarian dictator wannabe president. Their name should be mud for the rest of their days.
Send in the clowns....
His what?
Didn't see Devin Nunes on the list?
It amazes me how Trump and his party are always complaining how partisan democrats are and now Trump has partisan warriors? More like loud mouths who’ll do anything to stay in Trump’s good graces. How low we have fallen, wait til we hit bottom!
Partisan warriors?

Has anyone checked on mattgaetz ? Is he gonna survive the shunning?
💯🇺🇸
All of the president's men are loonie crooks!!!
“partisan warriors” ...more like... “liars who stan cults”
Is this because actual lawyers are not allowed to lie in court but the House Reps can and will say whatever they want with no repercussions beyond the ballot box?
Oh oh, things are going to get ugly now!
Oh and the Democratic stooges will bark the loudest.
Just tell Jim_Jordan that his players are being sexually assaulted. He will never see or say a thing. GymmyJockStrap.
Warriors 😂😂
Hopefully they will stay on Fox and spread their viscous lies all over the airwaves
The clown show
Sounds brilliant .. especially since realDonaldTrump totally debunked these Republicans’ defense
TheDemocrats HouseDemocrats SenateDems Trump's Stooge Army! TrumpStooges Stooges GOP
Brilliant
pallbearers
Okay so he just “added them “ bc MidnightMitch is gonna have 2 12 days so he wants to have as many people screaming for the full 12 hours as possible.
Jesus christ. Now it's a circus.
Oh good. More yelling by little housegop. But if it isn’t on TV, will they still YELL? USSenate won’t allow OhioState abuser Jim_Jordan to enter or stay without coat and tie. JoeNBC is laughing already.
Whatever that means. Probably Trump puppets.
Well the House trial could not have been more biased for the Democrats.
Politico you have to start including citations and ways to interject lies the president , democrats and republicans tell. The White House was offered to participate in the capacity house rules would allow them But they declined . Please be transparent with any lies
Will they be armed?
Matt Gaetz didn't make the cut.
How cute. A little cheerleading squad 😂😝
GopCriminalCoverUp
Just when I thought when we heard the last from them. The screamers.
Replace Anderson with John Berman. Anderson is not a journalist. CNN must handle this impeachment with professional journalism. Please replace Anderson. This is not the OJ trial.
Elise will just keep mentioning how the aide was released 💰
Roberts will pick them to pieces if they pull their clown show.
