That kind of patronizing and insulting language never persuades the audience your trying to persuade. I understand he was talking to the American people as his audience and not necessarily the Senate, but people generally don't like that condescending ____.
That's your beef?
First, Trump attorneys
lied to the Chief Justice on multiple claims while flat out calling Adam Schiff a liar when he most certainly didn't lie. I've never seen such a weak case where attorneys for the defense have to rely primarily on lies that have been debunked for weeks.
The attorney's were throwing out red meat to Trump's rabid, FOX News loving base and effectively degrading the Senate in ways never before seen. But that doesn't upset you. You're upset when Nadler responds by
pointing out obvious truths that need to be said about the Republicans who are now complicit in a kangaroo court/coverup. When 100% of all Republicans vote to exclude all witnesses and new evidence, that's a coverup. When the Senate Majority leader lies to the American public beforehand by promising the rules would be just like that of the Clinton impeachment, but then requires arguments of 24 hrs to happen within a 72 hr period so that the bulk of the evidence is presented when most of America has gone to bed, well that's a coverup. Nadler needed to disclose the fact that this wasn't normal and he did a great job of it.
If anyone is interested in "retribution" it is obviously Senate Republicans and Trump's defense team who are justifying their ludicrous behavior on the dubious claims of "unfairness" during the House inquiry. Basically saying, "Oh you were unfair to Trump for months so now we're going to be unfair to you!"
The irony in all this is that Senate Republicans are suddenly pretending to care about civility once they get a dose of their own medicine, and they're blindly defending a man who on that same day called Nadler a “sleazebag” and “stupid” and characterized his remarks as “Nadler nonsense.”
