Charles Booker Statement on the Senate Acquittal of Donald Trump

Statement

Date: Feb. 5, 2020
Location: Louisville, KY
Issues: Legal Criminal Justice

Following the Mitch McConnell-led Senate's acquittal of President Trump, U.S. Senate candidate and State Representative Charles Booker issued the following statement:

"I have been clear from the beginning of this impeachment trial that Donald Trump should be convicted and removed. In contrast, Mitch McConnell began this process by touting his partiality. All of the aspects of this trial that brought shame upon our country, including blocking witnesses and evidence, can all be traced back to one person: Mitch McConnell. He sold out Kentuckians on a false hope that it will help him stay in power.

"Whether you believe Donald Trump should be removed or acquitted, we can all agree that Mitch McConnell did a disservice to all Americans by making a mockery of our democracy for the whole world to watch.

"Come November, we must vote Mitch out. It's for the good of Kentucky, and the good of our country."
