Yet again the Republican Party proved itself to be the party of moral eunuchs. This is my fifth blog calling out Republicans as moral eunuchs. (See: Shulmaven: The Republican Moral Eunuchs and the Magnificent 13, Shulmaven: The Coming Political Realignment: Part II, Shulmaven: A Funeral in Washington, Shulmaven: An Open Letter to Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell) Save for 10 members of the House and 7 members of the Senate, congressional Republicans refused to acknowledge guilt in the impeachment of Donald Trump for inciting a riot that sacked the Capitol building, caused death and injury to the Capitol Police and the near assassinations of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Pence.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a portrait of his hero Henry Clay in his office. If he acted like Clay, who worked to save the Union from 1820-1850, he would have voted to convict Trump. My guess is that if he now looks closely at that portrait he would see tears in the eyes of Clay.
All I can say to the Republican eunuchs is to quote Oliver Cromwell, "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go! It will be up to the voters to render the ultimate verdict.
