Left-leaning celebrities took to Twitter to voice their outrage after President Trump issued remarks on impeachment following his acquittal on two articles in the Senate.
Trump on Thursday spoke at the White House for what he called a “celebration” that his impeachment trial ended without him being removed from office. The Senate on Wednesday acquitted the president on both articles of impeachment against him — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — following a weeks-long trial.
“It was evil. It was corrupt. It was dirty cops. It was leakers and liars. This should never, ever happen to another president, ever,” Trump said. “It was a disgrace.”

But I didn’t notice #MoscowMitch chide him for his 'incivility', like he did Nancy. #MoscowMitch? Nasty old hypocrite," Bette Midler noted.
