In an interview with "CBS Evening News" anchor Norah O'Donnell, Congressman Mark Meadows said there would be repercussions if Republicans break with President Donald Trump on impeachment. O'Donnell sat down with impeachment defense surrogates Representatives Meadows, Doug Collins, Elise Stefanik and Debbie Lesko.
"Do you think Republican senators face political repercussions if they break with the president?" O'Donnell asked.
"Yeah, I do. I mean listen, I don't wanna speak for my Senate colleagues. But there are always political repercussions for every vote you take. There is no vote that is higher profile than this," Meadows said Monday.

Sure Meadows, this is the hill you should die on.

(16,786 posts)They are more concerned as to what Trump will do to them if they go against him, which any PRINCIPLED Pol would do.
The Republicans are AFRAID of Trump's wrath, and are chickensshut like Meadows, to stand up to him. Forget the people they serve. They are looking to hold on to their seats above all else.
