Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum said 'Republicans don't care' if Trump is guilty of the charges leveled in the articles of impeachment. Meanwhile, Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown said the GOP was 'afraid' of the president. 'Fear does the business,' Brown said.
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum told Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer on CNN Tuesday that any allegations tendered in former National Security Adviser John Bolton's upcoming memoir won't make a difference in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial because, even if proven true, because"Republicans don't care."
Trump has denied having that conversation with Bolton in a tweet saying,"I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book."
"The steam is out of the kettle here," Santorum said."I think there's likely to be a reading of this manuscript here. Everybody can feel comfortable. There's no smoking gun there that hasn't been talked about and then they're going to vote [on witnesses testifying during the Senate impeachment trial]."
"Fear now kind of does the business," Brown said."Republicans like the tax cuts and the young extremist judges. They're afraid of this president."
