Hate for President Trump Fails to Convict

On Saturday, February 13, 2021, the United States Senate did not find enough votes to convict President Trump of the alleged charge against him in the farcical impeachment trial which accused him of causing rioters to storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. 66 votes "for" would have been required to convict. 

Despite the fact that in this second impeachment there was again no evidence that President Trump did anything wrong, 7 Republicans, 48 Democrats and 2 Independents voted, not based on evidence, but on party affiliation, hate for Trump, or delusion. Forget the fact that the impeachment of a former president is unconstitutional by itself, but these 57 hooligans debased their offices, debased the U.S. Senate, and destroyed the representative trust placed in them by the citizenry of this country by voting to convict someone of wrongdoing when the evidence suggested otherwise. This impeachment was simply founded in hate for a man who was successful in his job where they and others in his position have failed constantly and repeatedly.

Question: Guilty or Not Guilty (Article of Impeachment Against "Former" President Donald John Trump )
Vote Date: February 13, 2021, 03:39 PM

For future reference, I will list here those Senators who voted to convict in the hopes that voters will remember these names and never allow them near the Senate again. 

Mitt Romney of Utah
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania
Ben Sasse Nebraska
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
Susan Collins of Maine
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana
Richard Burr of North Carolina
