President Donald Trump railed against Democrats and praised his GOP supporters in Congress in a fiery speech at the White House.

Here are some of the key quotes from Trump's post-impeachment victory-lap speech:

\"It was evil, it was corrupt, it was dirty cops, it was leaks and liars,\" Trump told a room packed with conservative lawmakers, journalists, and Cabinet officials.

\"This should never happen to another president, ever.\"

\"Some of the people here have been incredible warriors — they’re warriors. And we were treated unbelievably unfairly, and you have to understand we first went through 'Russia, Russia, Russia.' It was all bulls**t.\"\n
Trump praised Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY):

\"Mitch, he stayed there right from the very beginning. He never changed. And Mitch McConnell, I want to tell you, you did a fantastic job. This guy is great, and I appreciate it, Mitch. Mitch, I wanted to thank you very much. Incredible.\"

Trump attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), head impeachment manager Adam Schiff (D-CA) and other Democrats as being \"vicious as hell.\"

\"These people are vicious. Adam Schiff is a vicious, horrible person. Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person. And she wanted to impeach a long time ago \"When she said, 'I pray for the president. I pray for the—.' She doesn't pray. She may pray but she prays for the opposite. But I doubt she prays at all.\"

\"These are vicious people. They stick together. Historically, I'm not talking now. They stick together like glue... and they stuck together and they're vicious as hell.\"

Trump suggested GOP Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah, who voted against him in the impeachment trial, \"used religion as a crutch.\"

“Then you have some who used religion as a crutch. … Today — never heard him use it before. But today, you know, it’s one of those things. But you know, it’s a failed presidential candidate. So things can happen when you fail so badly running for president.\"

\n “We had the witch hunt. It started from the day we came down the elevator, myself and our future first lady.”

President Donald Trump will deliver remarks at noon ET today \"to discuss our Country’s VICTORY on the Impeachment Hoax!\"

The U.S. Senate voted Wednesday to acquit President Trump on both House-passed impeachment charges.
Only one Senator crossed party lines: Republican Mitt Romney of Utah. In voting to convict Trump of abuse of power, Romney became the first senator in U.S. history to vote to convict a president from the same party in an impeachment trial.
