DFA on TRUMP IMPEACHMENT VOTES: A “travesty… America will not forget”

February 5, 2020 - 4:32 pm

Moments ago, following a sham trial devoid of witnesses, the Senate voted to cover-up Donald Trump’s reckless abuse of power in the White House.

Democracy for America (DFA) Chair Charles Chamberlain released the following statement in response to the conclusion of the impeachment trial of Donald Trump:

“Today’s votes by Senate Republicans after this sham impeachment trial are a travesty.

“America will not forget what Senate Republicans did today and we are more committed than ever to defeating every single coward who just voted to cover up Donald Trump’s crimes in office.

“Every. Single. One.” -- Charles Chamberlain, Chair, Democracy for America

DFA and its one million members across the country have been forceful advocates for Donald Trump’s impeachment since June 9, 2017.

Ahead of the 2020 election, DFA has endorsed Betsy Sweet and Jamie Harrison in their races to defeat incumbent Republican U.S. Senators in Maine and South Carolina, respectively.

In the coming days, DFA will be announcing a number of additional U.S. Senate endorsements specifically targeting Republicans who assisted with today’s vote to cover up Donald Trump’s White House crimes.

“A lot of people are jaded,” desperate to see Washington “actually start to move some stuff,” said Yvette Simpson, chief executive of the progressive political action committee Democracy for America.

Ever since Congress passed Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill earlier this year, Simpson said, “we’re flatlined. There’s no real significant change that we can see for anything else on the horizon.”

If Democrats can’t break the logjam, she said, the party will pay for it in 2022. “I think it hurts the energy. I think it hurts the momentum.”
