Democrats kick off impeachment trial with video of Jan. 6, showing Trump’s remarks at the rally followed by the violent and deadly insurrection in the Capitol. “Senators, the president was impeached by the U.S. House of representatives January 13th for doing that,” Raskin says <a href=”https://t.co/YOA75QXEnc”>pic.twitter.com/YOA75QXEnc</a><br/>

I worked on the Hill, my great grandfather was a cabinet maker in the Capitol, my uncle was a Capitol Police officer, and my father worked for the Architect of the Capitol. My grandmother was born two blocks from the Capitol. I cried watching that video.<br/>
