Senate Republicans expressed dismay after the House Intelligence Committee Chairman repeated an anonymously-sourced quote which said Donald Trump will put senators' 'head on a pike' if they vote against the president.
Schiff referenced a CBS News report from Thursday in which a"POTUS confidant" claimed that if Republican senators fail to protect the president, the party and Trump will have their head"on a pike."
At least two moderate GOP senators who previously expressed their openness to hearing from witnesses and holding a fair trial, Alaska' Lisa Murkowski and Maine's Susan Collins, dismissed Schiff's closing argument comments as completely false. "That's when he lost me," Murkowski said about Schiff's"pike" reference through her spokeswoman Saturday. The office also denied having knowledge of the CBS report about the White House's alleged threat. Murkowski added the comment was"unnecessary."
