Hold Graham, Cruz, and Lee Accountable

I spent the past few days watching the impeachment case the House brought before the Senate. I am in awe of the incredible work done by the Impeachment Managers and their staff. And then I read how 15 of your Republican colleagues walked out and didn't participate in the proceedings, which I'm pretty sure they are not allowed to do. I also read that Lindsay Graham, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee met with Trump's lawyers TONIGHT, the night before the defense makes its case. What the hell is going on in the Senate? If Republicans are allowed to essentially serve on the jury for a trial while actively trying to sabotage it and aid the defendant, then shouldn't they be disqualified from participating in the vote, at a minimum? They continue to disrespect their fellow Members of Congress and American citizens. As your constituent, I want you and the rest of the Democrats to hold them accountable. They are very clearly not going to behave respectfully so why give them any? Trump's attack on our democracy is still going on as long as these traitors are in Congress.
