As for Sen. Burr, his statement after his vote to convict former President Trump did not make a ton of sense. He thought the trial was unconstitutional, until it was not, and then he voted to convict.
“When this process started, I believed that it was unconstitutional to impeach a president who was no longer in office. I still believe that to be the case,” he said.
“However, the Senate is an institution based on precedent, and given that the majority in the Senate voted to proceed with this trial, the question of constitutionality is now established precedent,” the senator said.
“The evidence is compelling that President Trump is guilty of inciting an insurrection against a coequal branch of government and that the charge rises to the level of high Crimes and Misdemeanors. Therefore, I have voted to convict,” he said.
But the biggest news of the interview with Chris Wallace came when Sen. Graham said that Vice President Harris could be impeached.
“If you use this model (of impeachment), I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if the Republicans take over the House, because she actually bailed out rioters, and one of the rioters went back to the streets, and broke somebody’s head open,” he said. “So we’ve opened Pandora’s Box here, and I’m sad for the country.”
