Namely, when it comes to impeaching a president, those tasked with the proceedings \u201ccan hardly be expected to possess the requisite neutrality towards those whose conduct may be the subject of scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the congressman from Texas\u2019 20th District, Joaquin Castro, that presented the House manager\u2019s main argument that the President allegedly did nothing while the siege dragged on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump did not send help to these officers who were badly outnumbered, overwhelmed and being beaten down,\u201d Castro claimed. \u201cTwo hours into the insurrection by 3:00 p.m., President Trump had not deployed the National Guard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the President did send in the National Guard to end a protest in Lafayette Park over the summer, however, Castro sang a far different tune. On June 4, the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, he tweeted stating \u201cwe must oppose the use of military force to crush peaceful protesters\u201d and \u201cthe right to free speech is universal.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">31 years ago today, the Chinese government murdered students who stood up to tyranny at Tiananmen Square.
