“Today, @SenateGOP failed our democracy. The American people have been clear all along – a fair trial has witnesses & documents, following the facts in pursuit of the truth,” Pressley, who boycotted Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday evening and delivered the Working Families Party’s official response, tweeted Wednesday.

“What just transpired in the Senate was anything but a fair trial - it was a cover up coordinated by Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on behalf of the Occupant of the White House. While this is a dark day, I have not lost faith in the resiliency of this nation,” she added.
