They’ll beg you to forgive their votes to exonerate Trump from his crimes. Ask you to forgive their silence, their cowardice and their betrayals as Trump wrecked this nation.”“Every time they had a choice between America and Trump, they chose Trump,” the ad continues. “Every time they were called to the service of this nation and their sacred oath, they chose Trump. Every time. Learn their names. Remember their actions. And never, ever trust them again.”The video flashed the names of a number of Trump’s defenders, many of whom are up for reelection in November, including Sens.
