Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) appears to be doing damage control after
voting to find the president guilty on both articles of impeachment.
Manchin is one of three Democratic senators that voted to find the
president guilty who represent states the president won in 2016. Manchin
also voted in favor of calling new witnesses and evidence and proposed a
censure of the president in the days leading up to the final vote.
Manchin's
West Virginia colleague, GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, said in a
recent Fox News interview that Manchin's vote wasn't being well-received
back in West Virginia.
"Probably," Sen. Capito began, "Senator
Schumer just pulled the noose a little tight and said, 'C'mon everybody.
We're going to jump off this cliff together.' And back here, West
Virginians are very surprised."

He
came, he saw, he conquered for President Donald Trump's 2020 State of
the Union Address will surely go down in the annals of American history
as one of the greatest State of the Union Addresses ever given. An
address not only heralding the “great American comeback”...a
comeback running the gamut from economic, to national security, to
immigration policies, to healthcare issues, to name but a few...but an
address heralding individual American exceptionality as well.
Exceptional
Americans including conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, recently
diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, who was awarded during that very
address the Presidential Medal of Freedom; as well as Trump recognizing
and surprising the family of Sgt. 1st Class Townsend Williams, deployed
for the fourth time to Afghanistan, by revealing that not only had he
returned home but that he was in the chamber to greet them. Bringing not
only tears of joy to his family... and me as well...thunderous applause
and chants of USA were heard from those gathered...at least from those
on the right side of the aisle that is.
Also
honored was Philadelphia fourth grader Janiyah Davis who received an
'Opportunity Scholarship' allowing her to attend a new public or private
school of her and her family's choosing; as well as veteran Tony Rankins who
overcame drug addiction, PTSD, and prison time. Now holding a steady
job, Rankins was also reunited with his family. Then there's
eighth-grader Iain Lanphier, who wants to join the newly created Space Force...wish I
could too...and whose great-grandfather Charles McGee, who was sitting besides him, is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen.
And not to be forgotten is President Trump honoring Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake, who was killed by Iran's terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani
Exceptional
Americans all honored by an exceptional American president who also
spoke of the survival of a child born at 21 weeks as well as his feeling
the pain of the brother of Rocky Jones murdered in the Tulare County
Shooting Spree by an illegal alien; and recognizing the parents of Kayla
Mueller, the young American brutally murdered by ISIS while in Syria on
a humanitarian aid mission.
And while several members of Congress boycotted the address most notably “the squad,” Rep. Tim Ryan actually walked out during the address taking to twitter to complain that Trump's address was like "watching professional wrestling,” while
Pelosi's invited gun control activist Fred Guttenberg was ejected after
shouting obscenities in response to Trump's remarks about protecting
the Second Amendment.
But
nothing could prepare us for the theatrics of Nancy Pelosi who as House
Majority Speaker sat on the dais during the entire address looking
disgusted and angry while silently making small tears in her copy of
Trump's address where at the end those small tears became an on camera
tearing up of her copy of said address. Defended her actions by saying, "He shredded the truth, so I shredded his speech,” what Pelosi, as official “custodian of the record,”
actually did was violate 18 U.S. Code 2071 and should technically be
removed from office, fined, and even imprisoned. Will that happen...I
doubt it for the House is still Democrat controlled.
But
Nancy Pelosi in doing what she did not only dishonored her speakership position, but actually left as her legacy her tearing up of a
remaining survivor of the Tuskegee Airmen, a premature birth survivor, a
service member's family reunion, and her outright disrespecting murder victims still grieving families...while President Trump's speech will be remembered as one of
America's finest hours.
