Rand Paul calls for unity under Biden — by opposing Trump’s impeachment trial

Paul clarified he did not think Sanders should be impeached but said it would follow the same logic leading to the former president’s second impeachment.
The impeachment came after Trump urged supporters to rally in D.C. to protest the electoral vote confirming Biden’s presidency. In a speech at the rally, Trump told the crowd to walk to the nearby Capitol and “fight like hell,” after which a mob stormed the Capitol in a deadly riot.
Kentucky’s other senator, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, said earlier this week the mob had been “provoked by Trump” and “was fed lies.”
“I think it’s an illegitimate procedure, and it isn’t a real impeachment,” Paul said. “It’s going to be a fake partisan impeachment.”
