Tom Cole is trending

Republican Tom Cole, who just voted last week to overturn the results of a free and fair election, now lectures about the need for reconciliation. Of note: Cole at no point defended Donald Trump during his lecture. It was just a process defense.

Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma believes a 2nd impeachment will be traumatic for our nation. I guess a failed coup attempt by Donald Trump's does not rise to the level of trauma.

Really can't stand having Rep. Tom Cole, a Republican who voted to overturn the results of the presidential election - someone who gave the insurrectionists political cover for months - talk about the impeachment being reckless and calling for unity. Look in the mirror.

Tom Cole making his closing argument against the rule for impeachment, noting that no witnesses were heard or hearings held. I'm sympathetic to that argument, but you either think Trump's actions are impeachable, or you don't. There's no new information that needs to come out.

GOP Rep. Tom Cole says that January 6 was "the darkest day" in his history as a lawmaker. Nonetheless, he voted to overturn the election results on January 6.

Wahhhhh division impeachment wahh. Fuck these Republicans like Tom Cole. Fuck you.

Just watched a GOP Rep Tom Cole say that impeachment is "divisive" and we need "unity." Only way for unity is to 1. Impeach and ban Trump from ever seeking office again. 2. GOP needs to eradicate the over 20% of its base that say they support the attack #ImpeachmentDay

Rep. Tom Cole (R) isn't even pretending to try to defend Trump on the merits. His entire speech is objecting to the "flawed process."

The GOP is lecturing America about the need for unity? To HELL with unity. Prosecute those traitors. Every damn one of them. #ImpeachmentDay Central Park Ken Langone Trump Organization Ayanna Pressley Andy Biggs Ken Buck Airbnb Lauren Boebert Steny Hoyer Jim Jordan Tom Cole https://t.co/FpJg0pP8YO

With all due disrespect, Tom Cole: the only unity I’m interested in is a unanimous decision by a jury to send spineless seditious sycophants like you to prison for 20 years.

OM freakin God! Tom Cole just complained that the president hasn't had the chance to have witnesses in the impeachment trial!!!! The hypocrisy is unfathomable!

That Rep. Tom Cole is leading House R’s on the floor against impeachment is an important symbol. Despite push from some ‘institutionalist’ like Cheney and McConnell to wrest the party from Trump, Cole is himself a GOP institutionalist & can give cover to trad’l GOP members.

Rep. Tom Cole, when you invoke the words of Alan Dershowitz you know you've already lost your argument. https://t.co/GPiwdlbbme

How can we have unity as GOP Rep Tom Cole called for when over 20% of the GOP base told pollsters they support the attack on the Capitol?! There can NOT be unity when 1 in 5 Republicans support a violent insurrection! The MAGA extremists must be removed from GOP #ImpeachmentDay

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer makes the case for impeachment by quoting Liz Cheney and other Republican endorsements of impeachment, highlighting the bipartisan nature of this effort and dismantling Rep. Tom Cole’s claim that impeachment would be divisive.

Republican Rep. Tom Cole says impeachment would further divide the country: "January 6th, 2021, will live in my memory as the darkest day during my time of service. ... Instead of moving forward as a unifying force, majority in the House is choosing to divide us further"

Tom Cole sounds reasonable, measured, and completely wrong

GOP Rep. Tom Cole argues against impeachment after the deadly insurrection attempt at the Capitol. "We have an opportunity to move forward, but we cannot if the majority insists on bringing the country through the trauma of another impeachment," he said. https://t.co/XcSIyX4QWW

@TheRickWilson @ProjectLincoln Rep. Tom Cole says this impeachment is looking backwards and he will vote against it. So by that reasoning a murderer should simply be set free and look forward !!!

Democrats are "rushing to judgment, in my opinion, and bringing up impeachment after failing to follow any meaningful process whatsoever," Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) says. "Let us celebrate the peaceful transition of power to a new president, rather than impeaching an old president"

"Alan Dershowitz thinks impeachment isn't a good idea" isn't the argument you think it is, Rep Tom Cole.

Rep. Tom Cole is a spineless traitor. He must be expelled!

Just like GOP Rep. Tom Cole did in the Rules Committee this morning, Rep. Jim Jordan is repeatedly reserving the balance of his and his colleagues’ time, allowing more Democrats to speak than Republicans. It appears not many Republicans are willing to speak on Trump’s behalf.

@DavidCornDC Rep. Tom Cole says this impeachment is looking backwards and he will vote against it. So by that reasoning a murderer should simply be set free and look forward !!!

NEW: GOP Rep. Tom Cole says "there is no reason" to push second impeachment of Pres. Trump a week from Biden's administration taking office: "This is an ill-advised course in my opinion." https://t.co/dWhzT2boov

Rep Tom Cole says Impeachment would further divide this country. If that means the divide between myself and Nazis is at Grand Canyon scale- that’s not wide enough.

Screw you Tom Cole! Now you want unity and to move on? Where was your voice the entire time President Donald J Trump was riling up his base and inciting them to take charge on top of all the baseless claims of a rigged election he spread?! 🙄

@louisvilledad14 @CNNPolitics What world does Rep. Tom Cole live in?

@okprogressnow Tom Cole shows that he stands with racist insurrection.
