WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Senate acquitted Donald Trump on Saturday of inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol last month, sparing him from conviction in his second impeachment trial in a year despite broad condemnation of his role in sparking the deadly siege. The Senate voted 57-43 in favor of convicting the former president, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed to do so, on a charge that he incited the insurrection that left five people dead, forced lawmakers to flee, and put his own vice president in danger while overseeing the certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s election win. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who voted “not guilty,” in the trial, offered scathing remarks about Trump after the verdict.
“There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day,” he said. “The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.”
President Joe Biden said that while the vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge was not in dispute, and a record number of Republicans voted. Nick Note: In Americas modern history 3 events shaped the culture. Pearl Harbor, 911 the World Trade Center bombing and the storming of the capital by Trumpians in an attempt to overturn the elections. Events number 1 and 2 untied Americans and number 3 the Trump coup is the most divisive event since the Civil War. Take this storming of the capital in the context the US economy is in a depression none admits because of the plague and you realize America is in trouble.
