Excerpts from article:
...Lead House Manager Rep. Adam Schiff angered Republican senators at the Trump impeachment trial Friday night by citing a CBS News report claiming an anonymous Trump "Confidant" had said any GOP senators who voted against Trump would have their heads on pikes.
..."That's not true," Susan Collins said several times on the floor, shaking her head when Schiff cited a news report saying WH warned senators that a vote against Trump means "Your head will be on a pike." Risch also said aloud: "That's not true." Cotton laughed when Schiff said it".

...Sen. Lisa Murkowski on Schiff's 'head on pike' comments "It was unnecessary" & Sen. John Barrasso "No republican senator has been told that." Murkowksi: "He was doing fine with moral courage until he got on the head on the pike."
