Donald Trump unleashed a torrent of insults at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who last week voted to acquit Trump but also said the former president bore responsibility for inciting the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
North Carolina Republican Chairman Michael Whatley condemned Burr for voting against the former president, as a "shocking and disappointing" abdication of his duty to voters.
State Republican parties are taking action against GOP lawmakers who have reprimanded former U.S. President Donald Trump. There is also the question of whether Trump broke federal law in withholding aid to Ukraine, the subject of his first impeachment trial.
While a majority of the Senate, 57 of the 100 members, voted for conviction, it fell short of the two-thirds majority required.
Whether this happens remains to be seen but Trump's sizeable core fan base will make it hard for another Republican candidate to stand out. "By what he did and by what he did not do, President Trump violated his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States".
In explaining his vote, Burr said Trump "bears responsibility" for the January 6 attack - which left five people dead, including a police officer - and lambasted the ex-president for using his office to "inflame the situation instead of immediately calling for an end to the assault".
"President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office as an ordinary citizen", Senator McConnell said.

Graham told Fox News host Chris Wallace that Burr "just made Lara Trump nearly the certain nominee for the Senate seat in North Carolina to replace him if she runs".
Critics have said that Trump and Giuliani helped incite the attack during the "Save America" rally, where both repeated false claims that the election had been stolen. "I think the idea that the Republican Party is just one swath...it's just not nuanced".
