“I’m not going to give the president advice on what he tweets or what he communicates during the trial,” said Romney. “I intend to be as impartial a juror as I can possibly be and I don’t imagine that I am going to be influenced by opinions that come from people outside the walls of the Senate.”
“I’ve never been a real fan of kind of the minute by minute tweets whether it’s from the president or others,” added Murkowski. “I got a lot of things going on..if I follow all that I’d never get anything done”
Senate Republicans also concede that they can’t stop the president from tweeting — even during something as serious as a Senate impeachment trial.
“He’ll do what he wants,” said Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) “He’s not a passive observer.”
