Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is explicitly pointing his finger at President Donald Trump for helping to spur the attack on the Capitol by the outgoing president’s supporters. The Kentucky Republican said Tuesday on the Senate floor, “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.” McConnell spoke six days after the Democratic-led House impeached Trump on charges of inciting the Jan. 6 attack. A Senate trial on whether to convict Trump and perhaps bar him from ever again holding federal office is expected to begin in coming days. After years of supporting Trump

I have never liked McConnell. His true colors are coming out. He is a RINO and a lover of China.

McConnell is a traitor. If the Senate does anything other than dismiss the fake impeachment against President Trump, I will not be voting Republican again.

There they go again. Can't restrain themselves from using hot, inflammatory language, meant to rile, not bring reason and wisdom to the Well of the Senate. No reaching out to people who have seen their President excoriated for five years, the most vicious, cruel and relentless attacks, and who themselves have been demeaned, ridiculed, targeted and persecuted, marginalized and left without recourse.
Not agreeing to the $2000 stimulus makes sense now. If one more nudge was needed to put those two radical leftists over the mark in GA, this was it.

Who knows for sure, as no comprehensive law enforcement investigations have yet to be concluded. But one thing is certainly for sure, both McConnell and Pelosi at the top of the heap of the UniParty Congressional Aristocracy were ultimately responsible for the security of the US Capitol building on January 6th, and the moronic mob action there made them look very incompetent. So both have a personal and political, and professional interest in projecting quick blame on others, especially Trump.

Wherever the cross-eyed little weasel goes he leaves a vapor cloud of sulfur lingering in the air.
The whole point of finding trump guilty in this fake impeachment is to prevent him from becoming President again. Let's see who goes along with this lynch-mob.

Why am I not surprised? Mr. McConnell it was Pres. Trump who got you re-elected. You are a traitor and should be recalled but you have China on your side. No wonder Trump got blocked in every way to ruin his career. Despicable Deep State Republican senate leader. How does the senate find a way to tolerate him knowing how he has turned on Trump.

The response to the "storming" (haha) of the U.S. Capitol from its denizens is this: overwrought in the extreme, dishonest, vain, self-important, elitist, and stodgy. What a crew of weenies. Guess they don't have any daily life at all there anymore. McConnell is covering for Biden, China, and the Lord knows what else.

The soon to be former Senate Majority Leader is trying to deflect his failure to address the disenfranchisement of 74 plus million Americans. I wouldn't even support the disenfranchisement of democrat voters, much less tens of millions of conservatives who supported our soon to be former president.

Another swamp rat! His wife got a job from Trump and now he stabs Trump in the back. McConnell is running for cover because of his Chinese connection through his wife as revealed by Peter Schweizer. This is Mitch trying to immunize himself from future charges that he is profiting from China through his wife's family. This isn't the first time these charges have surfaced. Mitch is in deep doodoo with the Left.

Not to condone the nonsense at the Capitol, but the people in that crowd already knew about the evidence of fraud before Trump spoke a word. It was out there for anyone who cared to know since 11/4. Trump was reciting it so that the rest of the morons would maybe hear it. McConnell should be recalled. His political usefulness has passed its sell-by date, and his ties to China are dangerous in these times.

Does anyone have an actual number of those rioting? I always see the same 10 people breaking through the halls of congress. Also a riot usually involves many things torn down. Aside from a few things stolen. where is the damage to the Capitol? I would have expected the rotunda burned out or something similar.

Hillary lied and incited a four year investigation of Trump, but nothing happened to her. I guess then
Bush/Cheney lied about the Irag war causing many young men to die, nothing happened to them.

Wonder how any of them can look themselves in the mirror. What a bunch of yellow bellied sniveling swamp rats. There are a few with a spine besides President Trump but not many. I'm going to start pushing for term limits. Get rid of these swamp dwellers. They are truly corrupt people - they have ruined America through their greed and lust for money and power.

Pelosi and McConnell are responsible for the security of the Capitol. They have 2500 Capitol Police. It was reported several days prior that caches of weapons were being distributed around the Capitol. The Trump crowd was able to identify some of the individuals that appeared they did not belong, as they had riot, or protective gear. The Capitol has many security cameras. They knew what was happening, as they were watching it on their security cameras, yet did nothing. This was allowed to happen, and encouraged to happen. Antifa was there to make it happen, and they were paid to do it. McConnell wants to cast the blame on Trump, when it is he that is to blame. McConnell has never been an active man. McConnell would have about 40 Senators, if Trump had not worked so hard to get the other 10 re-elected. McConnell should be replaced as leader. He has done nothing to limit the size of the government, nothing to represent the people, his following only the establishment elite. McConnell has allowed the Senate to become a rubber stamp. No debate, just omnibus bills nobody has read. McConnell has made the Senate not respected for any of the traditions, which are only privileges for the elite.

Says a 'reporter' to a known Antifa leader:
In the multitude of video clips posted on Twitter by Sullivan, there is a woman who seen celebrating with him. She tells Sullivan “we did it, you were right, we did it.”
THEY did it. No disinformation necessary.
And, yes, it WAS stolen.

There must be some kindling lighting the firestorm of press talking about the “upcoming Senate impeachment trial.” I am sad to think its maybe not just democrat wishful thinking.
Mitch just finished throwing PDJT completely under the bus. Elections have consequences - keeping rinos and known treacherous, corrupted ones in those Senate seats are part of why we find ourselves here.

Mitch is the reason the Senate is 50/50. He had a great candidate in, Representative Doug Collins; but he chose the vapid and stupid Kelly Loeffler who turned out to be the worst candidate ever. Plus her husband was wealthy and a big donor. Kelly just wanted to play Senator!

There have been 40 posts on this thread - - but only #17 came up with the correct answer.
Mitch is selling out Trump as part of a deal with the commie demonrats - - so that they don't indict his and our beloved Mrs. McConnell - - a/k/a the Chicom tool Elaine Chao.
Leave Elaine alone - - and I'll give Trump a good trashing. Nothing more complicated than that.

McConnell's behavior reminds me of when Dennis Hastert got all wee-weed up when the FBI raided Congressman William J. Jefferson's office in the Capital. Both are acting like somehow the Capital was sacrosanct like a place of worship.

THe good people of Kentucky should follow the example of the people of Wyoming and Censure Mitch McConnell for his idiocy and handling of the most recent Trump impeachment. If it weren't for Trump, McConnell would have been Minority Leader. If it weren't for Trump, McConnell would not have 50 Republican Senators! The reason Georgia lost their 2 Republican Senators is McConnell's inaction and criticism of Trump since the election. Now he is doing what losing Republican have always done...suck up to Democrats in hope of getting some crumbs. Grow some balls Mitch. Your actions are condemning Republican's to permanent minority status.

The "mob" he is referring to were the people that signed up to be poll watchers and never got within 30 yards of a ballot signature. The only testimony we have so far is the affidavits that these good citizens tried to submit to the courts. Where are the affidavits from the Mitch McConnell Republicans that were allowed to witness the vote counting?

The moronic mob lawlessness at the US Capitol was planned by extremists long before January 6th, and Trump’s speech had nothing to do with that mob action, that had already started when as Trump was still giving his speech. Clearly Trump did not tell anyone to go to the Capitol to break the law and after Trump finished his speech, with the huge crowd, it would have taken people listening to Trump’s speech about 45 minutes to reach the Capitol building after Trump finished his speech, a time when the mob was already inside the Capitol building. The proof of that is clear as a bell, as there is video of a BLM activist named Sullivan who traveled from Utah to DC for the expressed purpose of inciting that mob at the Capitol on that date and time, as he could be seen on the video telling the mob that they had to get Trump out of office and to burn down the Capitol building. That mob made the top of the Congressional Aristocracy, McConnell and Pelosi, go nuts, as they were ultimately responsible for the security of the Capitol building, and that moronic mob “outed” them as being incompetent, especially after it came out that Federal law enforcement had abundant intelligence beforehand that there was bound to be a lot of law breaking in DC on that date. That’s why they are projecting false blame on Trump.
