The Capitol is seen in Washington, early Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2020, as the House is set to vote to send the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate for a landmark trial on whether the charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress are grounds for his removal.

So what did those on the left do in the wake of the vote on witnesses in the impeachment trial, almost guaranteeing a quick acquittal next week?

They had a social media meltdown of all meltdowns. They trended all kinds of hashtags about the death of America and the GOP.

So far today the Left has trended:#RIPGOP#GOPCowards#RIPAmerica#SenateGOPCoverup #BlueTsunami2020

Good to see how well they’re handling everything. 😂 pic.twitter.com/B7ijZynDDI

And some came out to join the regular gaggle protesting outside the Capitol to vent their rage and spill their tears.

Warning on videos for language and loud cowbell.

This is one way to spend a Friday evening. Pro-impeachment protesters are starting to gather outside the Capitol building and chanting: "Convict, remove, send Donald Trump to jail. This fascist regime, is guilty as hell." pic.twitter.com/8RaoQsTwxZ

Here’s the moment they found out:

This is the moment pro-impeachment protesters outside the Capitol building found out the Senate voted against having additional witnesses.

The crowd yells “shame!” One man yells “Fuck Trump!” and a woman vigorously shakes her bell. pic.twitter.com/8nVbtGXtf6

From Townhall:

When the vote was over, the crowd began to chant “Shame!” While there had been a small Capitol Police presence, more were brought in as the crowd became more agitated in the wake of the vote.

“Our government has failed us,” a protester who had been using a megaphone told those who had gathered.

One man repeatedly screamed “Fu*k Trump!” and called the president a “dictator.” One woman vigorously shook her bell. Another woman was using a megaphone to shout at the Capitol building, “Who do you serve?”

There were only about 60 there at the time although there had been about 500 earlier in the day trying to agitate for more witnesses and accusing the Republicans of a cover-up.
