Dahmer is an infamous serial killer who raped and killed 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991 and was known for eating parts of his victims.

McConnell condemned House Democrats for voting to impeach the president in a Senate floor speech Thursday.

"Let's be clear: the House's vote yesterday was not some neutral judgment. ... It was the predetermined end of a partisan crusade," McConnell said.

Trump officially became the third president in U.S. history to be impeached after the House voted in approval of two articles of impeachment Wednesday night. The matter will move to a trial in the Senate, which is unlikely to vote to remove Trump.

McConnell has said he won’t be “impartial” about impeachment “at all,” prompting some Democrats to call for him to recuse himself from the trial.

Let's not forget Al Franken is the guy that tripped up Jeff sessions and started off this whole chain of events. If it was for not for Al Franken there would never have been a Mueller investigation!

He should run for office again under a pseudonym, such as Frank Allen.

​

McConnell is the serial killer of legislation in the Senate and McConnell's statement that he won't be impartial is in direct conflict with the Constitution, which requires him to be impartial. Since he can't in good faith take an oath to be impartial in the impeachment trial he should not be allowed to participate.
