OWN YOUR #IMPEACHMENT WORDS, GOP!

"The President can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous." - #MikePence
OWN IT, @GOP!

“[The President] doesn’t have to say, ‘Go lie for me,’ to be a crime. You don’t have to say, ‘Let’s obstruct justice’ for it to be a crime. You judge people on their conduct, not magic phrases.” - #LindseyGraham
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"The true tragedy in this case is the collapse of the President's moral authority ... there is the issue of the abuse of power and authority. This White House has perfected the art of stonewalling around the truth." - #ChuckGrassley
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"The chief law-enforcement officer of the land, whose oath of office calls on him to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, crossed the line and failed to defend and protect the law and, in fact, attacked the law." - #JeffSessions
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"Throughout our history, we have seen the presidency as the repository of all of our highest hopes and ideals and values. To demand less is to do an injustice to the blood that bought our freedoms." - #MikePence
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"The United States is a nation of laws, not men. And I do not believe we can ignore the facts or disregard the Constitution so that the president can be placed above the law." - #RichardBurr
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"All of us get many, many letters from young children, parents, teachers, and others who are deeply distressed about the President's behavior and its impact on the moral health of the nation." - #JimInhofe
@GOP OWN IT, @GOP!

"Tampering with the truth-seeking functions of the law undermines our justice system and the foundations on which our freedoms lie. All Americans must abide by the rule of law, including the president of the United States." - #MikeCrapo
@GOP All the preceding quotes are from Republicans, who were hellbent on impeaching Bill Clinton. Most of these GOP lawmakers are still in power today. One is now VP.

Bottom line: THE @GOP SET THE STANDARD FOR TRUMP'S #IMPEACHMENT
