"Reject the Coverup" protest held after GOP Senate "acquits" Trump

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 02/06/2020 - 01:01

On the 5th of February, protesters rallied outside the US Capitol after the Senate refused to remove Donald Trump from office. While the GOP says Trump was "acquitted" in actuality there was no witnesses and no evidence, thus no real trial. This is rather like someone committing a major felony, then ensuring members of their own crew are both judge and jury, blocking any conviction.

On the 4th of February, cops pushed Refuse Fascism's "People's State of the Union" protest away from the Capitol. First they were pushed to the Supreme Court, then most of the way to Union Station. Protesters denounced the blatent self-serving abuse of power by Trump and that fake impeachment "trial" with neither witnesses nor evidence.

On the last day of January 2020, protesters rallied outside the US Capitol as Senators voted 51-49 mostly on party lines NOT to hear witness testimony, meaning the "trial" consists only of opening and (maybe) closing arguments.
