The House of Representatives vote to accuse President Trump of last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol is a “wasted opportunity” for the two parties to find a common ground, former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said Wednesday .
McCarthy, now an associate of Fox News, argued on ‘Bill Hemmer Reports’ that Congress could have condemned the president on a bipartisan basis rather than a kind of meaningless, deeply biased rift to no good end. Not.
ANDY MCCARTHY: I think this is a wasted opportunity for the possibility of a consensus bill. There was no reason to continue with this because the president could not be removed … There is not going to be a trial while President Trump is still in office. There was a possibility of basically drafting a censorship of what the president did in an accurate manner, which I think would have gotten a lot of Republican votes and all Democratic votes and would have presented dual unity as condemnation to the country.
Instead, what we had was a meaningless, deeply biased separation without any good end, because the president is not actually going to be tried and when the trial finally happens, there will be a climax the probability that the president will be acquitted. be, both because they have failed this article of accusation with terms such as ‘rebellion’ and ‘incitement’ that the exam will not hold.

I just think it’s a real wasted opportunity, to which side, I do not know, except to deepen the gulf in the country, and I say this as someone who thinks the president’s behavior was impeccable.
The House voted 232-197 to accuse Trump of a single count of “incitement to insurrection.” Ten Republicans joined 222 Democrats to vote for indictment.
