Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday issued a terse response to the House Jan. 6 select committee’s decision to refer criminal charges against former President Trump to the Justice Department.
“The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations,” McConnell said in a statement reacting to the House panel voting to refer four criminal charges against Trump to prosecutors in connection to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
While I suppose one could argue that Nancy Pelosi was responsible, but I think that is giving her too much credit.

When is the insufferable twit up for primary election? Let's make sure his state has a "no spoiler" rule, too.

Could he be referring to fellow Republican Donald J. Trump? Methinks so, in which case he is a RINO's RINO. What is his approval rating again? 33%? That might be a little high.

How in the name of goodness does the same state that elects Rand Paul also elect Mitch McConnell? Kinda makes one wonder if Mitch uses the same tactics that the Democrats use to get elected over and over despite having an approval rating of about 30%.

Oh, how cryptic of you Turtle!?! We all know you are referring to President Trump. When the Long Knives come for you, there’s a Pike on the Potomac waiting for your little turtle head.

Two major errors in judgement and knowledge on the same day! Attributing The Ukraine fiasco as well as the much exaggerated “attack on Washington” on President Trump. When will this sliver in our butts finally fade away.

Are we going to find Twitter feeds showing prior knowledge of coming events by members of the US Senate? Did FBI tip them off>
and if not, why not?

McConnell is a pimple on the butt of the body politic that needs to be exicised. The Republic will be far healthier when he is gone. He appears to have single handedly lost the Senate by supporting candidates who would support HIM and NOT supporting those who would work for the American people. To stay in power he must know where a lot of bodies are buried and have his hands in many troughs.

Why hasn't the public been allowed to see any of the evidence to decide for themselves who is responsible for J6, Mitch?

That statement comes from the same place as racism and antisemitism and the Salem witch trial convictions.
Guilty because he’s guilty; no facts as would have been required in a trial since the end of the Dark Ages are any longer required.
There are more facts to support mcconnell’s conviction as a chinese spy then there are to support his delusional scream. That he supports an unconstitutional act (according to Alan Dershowitz) makes him an insurrectionist.
Funny how traitor and insurrectionist are now the new ad hominems.

Trump offered national guard protection and cocaine - the bearded one rejected it. Then the police and the fbi proceeded to encourage the participants to rise up while the police opened the doors to the mob. Trump was stupid enough to fall for their plan.

Yeah, Mitch, we got it a long time ago - you don't like Trump and never did. In hindsight, it's a pity that Alison Grimes didn't defeat him in 2014. She may have been a dem but at least he'd be gone, and she would have been much easier on the eyes.

Pence was responsible. They did not change the law to the VP can only read the electoral votes if before he could have sent back a request to clarify which group of electoral votes to use from three states. If Pence did that there would be insufficient electoral votes and the President would have been chosen by the House of Representatives, With more states be republicans led, Trump would be President and we would not have the disastrous Biden Presidency.

This is the man who could have easily gotten Trump removed by the Senate after his second impeachment. He refused and saved Trump's behind. So was he a disgrace that day or just today?

#16, the matter of the VP's authority or latitude was by no means clear on 1/6/21. Pence relied on his best judgement of his constitutional authority.
# 18, didn't the second impeachment fandango occur AFTER Trump left office?

After seeing what this absolute disgusting POS China Mitch McConnell has to say about the communist death democrat fomented January 6 mostly peaceful riots (sound familiar?), in which all of the violence was conducted by FBI plants and the Pelosi controlled Capital Hill Police, the same question pops into my mind - Why vote Republican?

Pelosi.

You and Pelosi, that is who. To those who think that would give her too much credit, she was responsible for denying the extra security the officers requested. So yeah, Turtle and Pelosi are responsible for Jan6 and they are holding political prisoners and breaking a lot of constitutional and BoR amendments.

You would think that McConnell would know by now that sometimes it is best to keep one’s mouth shut. The reason that riot spun out of control was due to the lack of security at the Capitol Building and Nancy Pelosi was wholly responsible for that incompetence. There was no way that Trump or any other politician could have stopped that riot once a bunch of idiots figured out that they could take advantage of that lack of security and run amuck.
