The Democrats are not doing a good job convincing anyone other than themselves during the ongoing impeachment trial of Donald Trump.
According to Breitbart News, “At least a dozen Republican Senators reportedly walked out of the Senate impeachment trial on Thursday, after lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin tried to argue that years of Trump rallies were incitement to violence.”
Inside the Senate chamber:
Trump’s 2016 rivals Rubio, Cruz, and Graham watched intently as video documented Trump’s 2015-2020 remarks making light of or justifying political violence.
Graham, Rubio, and Cruz then left and didn’t watch Lieu’s presentation from the floor.

At least a dozen Senate Republicans skipped at least part of Lieu’s presentation.
Lieu warned of history repeating itself:“I’m afraid [Trump is] going to run again and lose.”

In addition to presenting evidence irrelevant to the charges against Trump in the way of past rallies and words said for years, “Raskin also claimed, falsely, that Trump had praised neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 — a familiar lie known as the ‘very fine people’ hoax,” noted Breitbart News.
