Not everyone was content to watch history on television. Meet the people (and dog) who had to see impeachment in person
“We were turned away at Woodstock, 10 miles away from the gate,” said Bruce Shapiro, 70, who came down from West Point, New York, with his wife of 50 years, Barbara. “We said if we ever have a historic event that comes up that is as monumental as that that we would be here. So we made it a point to be here to be a part of history.”The Shapiros made clear that they supported Trump’s, as did a woman from Bethesda, Maryland, named Cecily, who did not want to give her last name.
Cecily didn’t only come in for the impeachment vote. She also filled a seat in the Capitol for several of the hearings leading up to it. Trump had plenty of supporters in the gallery, as well. In front of Cecily in line stood John Sanders, 40, who extended his trip to Washington from Huntsville, Alabama, by a day so he could see the vote.it’s possible that 100 years from now people from this time period will be looked upon the same way we look upon Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.”When I asked Sanders if he had an opinion on impeachment, we were interrupted by Carolyn Sires, 57, who was down from Connecticut.
“I was here in November working for service dogs for the military,” she continued. “Speaker Pelosi is all about this bipartisan support. They’re going to do all these things that are wonderful. So what happens? Now we wait? Are we putting service dogs in our military on hold for this? You know [impeachment] is never going to happen in the Senate. What are you doing? Let the people vote. Just let them vote him out. You don’t like the president, you wait four years.
