GOP governor says Trump 'abused his powers,' shouldn't be in office
By Kaelan Deese - 02/06/20 05:52 PM EST

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said Thursday that President Trump abused his authority and shouldn't be in office, making him one of the few Republican leaders to sound off against Trump following his acquittal in the Senate's impeachment trial the day before.

Scott called that vote in the GOP-controlled upper chamber inevitable at a news conference, according to ABC News.

"If they'd taken more testimony, maybe they'd have had more information and maybe other senators would have acted appropriately," he said.

Asked if he would have voted to remove the president from office, Scott pointed out he isn't a senator.

Vermont regularly returns to Congress, and now the Senate, avowed Communists.  If they have a GOP Governor, he's a Romney Republican and not worth the piss to quench it if he were to catch fire.

Scott has a tight re-election fight coming up this year against the sitting Lieutenant Governor, who belongs to the "Progressive" Party.   I'm sure that had some bearing in his public statement.

Bottom line, regarding most things Vermont, is that nobody really cares.  It's a radical Lefty hole.
