“Republican Senators may have failed to do their job, but voters won’t fail to do ours. We have one message for Donald Trump and the Senate Republicans who time and time again have helped cover up his abuses: We will see you at the ballot box,” said MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting.

The ads accuse the senators of being “complicit” in Trump’s “crimes” and call their acquittal votes “disgraceful.”
“Martha McSally is complicit in Trump’s crimes. She just voted to let Trump violate the Constitution. She ignored her solemn oath to uphold the law and gave Trump the green light to keep undermining the integrity of our elections,” a narrator reads in the ad targeting McSally. “Martha McSally didn’t do her job, but we are ready to do ours. Vote her out.”

The advertisements will run on digital platforms as well as broadcast markets in Phoenix, Denver and Portland, Ore.
The announcement of the ad campaign came almost immediately after the Senate voted to acquit Trump on impeachment articles of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate voted nearly along party lines on the first article, with only Sen. Mitt RomneyWillard (Mitt) Mitt RomneyMilley discussed resigning from post after Trump photo-op: report Trump on collision course with Congress over bases with Confederate names Attorney says 75-year-old man shoved by Buffalo police suffered brain injury MORE (R-Utah) breaking ranks, and entirely along party lines for the second charge.
Democrats had accused Trump of abusing his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals and obstructing Congress by hindering subsequent probes into his conduct, but Republicans maintained his conduct did not rise to the level of impeachment.
“This was not a trial, it was a cover-up. Republicans in Congress are knowing and willing accomplices in Donald Trump’s efforts to solicit foreign interference in our elections,” Epting said. “Trump is corrupt, and Republican Senators are complicit in his corruption. We will mobilize to vote them out, and that starts with this ad campaign and grassroots accountability work.”
The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, rates all three of the Senate races as toss ups.
