That is a far right outlet (Breitbart) implying that the votes for impeaching Donald Trump in the House and the votes for conviction in the Senate trial were a purely partisan exercise. However, there were 10 Republicans in the House who voted in favor of impeachment, and 7 Republicans in the Senate who voted in favor of conviction. That is an inconvenient fact for this narrative. Those Republicans weren't trying to frame all of Trump's voters as "indistinguishable from Capitol rioters", because many of those same voters also voted for them as well.Rep.

Democrats used their impeachment pursuit against former President Donald Trump as an attempt to “equate” 75 million Americans who voted for Trump with “the couple hundred criminals who came in an ransacked the Capitol,” Rep. Mike Johnson said (R-LA) in an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday with host Joel Pollak.
Johnson said the Democrats’ “ultimate goal” with impeachment was to frame Trump’s supporters as indistinguishable from Capitol rioters.

Also, I love how right wing media always rounds up Trump's popular vote total. Joe Biden was closer to having 82 million votes than Donald Trump was to having 75 million.
