The Senate on Saturday voted to acquit former President Donald Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection largely along party lines, bringing an end to the fourth impeachment trial in U.S. history and the second for Trump.

Only seven Republicans voted to convict Trump for allegedly inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, when a mob of pro-Trump supporters tried to disrupt the electoral vote count formalizing Joe Biden's election win before a joint session of Congress. The final vote was 57 to 43, far short of the 67 votes needed to secure a conviction.

Republican Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mitt Romney of Utah, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania all voted guilty.

The vote means the Senate cannot bar Trump from holding future federal offices.

Moments after the vote concluded, the former president issued a statement praising his legal team and thanking the senators and other members of Congress "who stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country."

He did, via Fauci and Birx.

It was his pandemic and he could have put the brakes on at any time.

He manufactured the deadly vaccine. Did you forget to explain that, faggot?

It was his pandemic and he could have put the brakes on at any time.

I agree he could have resisted it more, but why would he? He’s a swamp creature, too. But saying it was his pandemic is hyperbolic, at best. He was more interested in riding the wave, than making his own waves; and why would he rock the boat? All his grandkids are jews. What would that benefit them?

He manufactured the deadly vaccine. Did you forget to explain that, faggot?

I already did explain that. He realized his base isn’t going along with the shot. The only groups serious about taking the deadly shot are his political opponents. Seems like a pretty solid strategy.
