Republican senator Bill Cassidy gave speech after the Home manager’s presentation that it was a democratic “superb opening” and they made very sturdy arguments. Throughout their presentation House impeachment managers confirmed how rioters violently breached the US Capitol and attacked law enforcement officials.
“The Democratic Home managers have been organized,” and “made a compelling argument,” Bill Cassidy stated after the vote. He also added, “President Trump’s attorneys have been disorganized and did a poor job presenting arguments.
