Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, who served as Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000, reportedly claimed that America's Founding Fathers would have wanted an acquittal in President Trump's Senate impeachment trial. He was specifically referring to what Alexander Hamilton and James Madison would have said if they were alive to see Trump's would-be acquittal. "This is what we intended," Lieberman said the founders would have remarked, according to The Blaze, which is owned by Beck. While Lieberman said that he would vote to allow witnesses, he would ultimately support acquitting the president. Lieberman cited Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who also said Trump's actions were wrong but not enough to remove him from office.
