It’s all horseshit.

If you look at the records, the only time anyone ever broke party lines to vote for an impeachment was a Republican against trump.

Every other impeachment vote in history was strictly along party lines.

That’s not to say he isn’t a piece of shit, but I’d rather keep the problems clear.

I remember various Democrats voting for impeachment during Clinton, or am I misunderstanding? It looks like it happened in the Johnson impeachment too based off some quick searching.
