Supporters of former President Donald Trump are not happy after watching many Republicans vote to convict him on a charge that he incited an insurrection at the United States Capitol building.
In interviews with NBC News, supporters of the twice-impeached, one-term president bitterly complained about all of the criticism he's received from both Democrats and Republicans for his role in whipping a riotous mob into a frenzy.
""I've never seen such an injustice," Trump supporter Brian O'Neill told the network. "It was a whole bunch of baloney."
Fellow Trump supporter and Pennsylvania resident Terry Smith, meanwhile, told NBC that he was particularly angry at "fool" Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), who was one of seven Republican senators who voted to convict.
"I'd never support him again if he was running," Smith complained.
And retired Trump supporter Charlie Carretti rejected Sen. Mitch McConnell's claim that Trump bore responsibility for inciting the deadly Capitol riots.
"What happened there was disgusting, but there is no way Donald Trump provoked it," he said. "Those people should be held responsible. But there was no way Trump incited them. He had nothing to do with it. It was a bunch of nut jobs and psychos who did it."
