Meanwhile, the Hollywood left imploded after the news of Trump's acquittal in his historic second impeachment trial.
The virtue-signaling blue tick brigade took to Twitter to express outrage.

Joe Biden has issued a statement following Trump’s acquittal, arguing the “substance of the charge” was “not in dispute.”
Biden wrote:
“Today, 57 Senators – including a record 7 Republicans – voted to find former President Trump guilty for inciting that deadly insurrection on our very democracy.
"The Senate vote followed the bipartisan vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives."
"While the final vote did not lead to a conviction, the substance of the charge is not in dispute.
"Even those opposed to the conviction, like Senate Minority Leader McConnell, believe Donald Trump was guilty of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' and 'practically and morally responsible for provoking' the violence unleashed on the Capitol.”
Biden continued:
“I’m thinking about all those who lost their lives, all those whose lives were threatened, and all those who are still today living with terror they lived through that day, and I’m thinking of those who demonstrated the courage to protect the integrity of our democracy — Democrats and Republicans, election officials and judges, elected representatives, and poll workers — before and after the election.”
