GOP Senator Defends Donald Trump Seeking Foreign Interference In Our Elections Saying 'People Do Things, Things Happen'

GOP Senator Defends Donald Trump Seeking Foreign Interference In Our Elections Saying 'People Do Things, Things Happen'
ABC News

The Senate is gearing up for a historic impeachment trial against President Donald Trump, who withheld congressionally approved aid from Ukraine on the condition that its leaders announce investigations against his political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Days after taking an oath of impartiality, some Republican senators are making the rounds to defend Trump's actions.


Among them? Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who chalked Trump's actions up to "Things happen."

Watch below.

When asked by ABC's George Stephanopoulos if it was improper for the President to pressure Ukraine to influence the United States election, Shelby said:

"I didn't say it was OK. I said people make them — people do things. Things happen."

Reminded by Stephanopoulos the standards most Presidents are held to, Shelby again dismissed Trump's actions:

"Well, still the president of the United States is human. And he's going to make mistakes of judgment and everything else."

As more and more evidence confirms that the extortion of Ukraine wasn't a mistake, but rather a coordinated effort, people are calling out Republicans like Shelby for refusing to acknowledge how bad this looks for Trump.








Arguments in the Senate's impeachment trial of Donald Trump begin on Tuesday.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
