US Senate Republican leader blames Donald Trump for attack on Capitol

US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has explicitly blamed Donald Trump for the deadly violence at the Capitol, saying the mob was "fed lies", and the President and others "provoked" those intent on overturning Joe Biden's election.

Ahead of Mr Trump's historic second impeachment trial, Senator McConnell's remarks were his most severe and public rebuke of the outgoing President.

At last!

But fucking late, BitchBoy.

Well der

Download the full transcripts of Trump’s speech - he asks the crowd to “protest peacefully and patriotically” there was no incitement there - don’t believe the left wing hype. Russia collusion debunked, 1st Impeachment Overturned, this was all the fault of the dumb rioters

It is a no brainer as it is all on worldwide media blow by blow for the entire world to see. No denying will ever change the true facts.

We can blame Republicans for letting Trump happen! It's what happens when you play with White Supremacists.

The sole reason it's not true is that the people who breached the capital building had been saying they were going to do it weeks before it happened... wanna blame someone...blame the unprepared security...

We all do!

How many decades has this guy been thriving from the establishment..

Gets to the end of the road, Trump all but gone, and decides it's time to try and save . . . himself If he was in the LNP, they would, without a blink of an eye, give him a bravery award

He is just tying to gain favour with the incoming govt. He still wants to wield some power.

Oh, you brave boy

Can you show us what part of Trump’s speech did that? Cause in the impeachment hearing NO evidence was produced.

This is the same senate leader who prevented evidence even being shared during Trump's first impeachment trial, leading all senators to blatantly disregard the oath they took to be fair and impartial. His only interest is self interest.

Your viewers are dwindling by the day abc. Maybe if you report some real news your rating will improve.

A-HOLE Hawley needs to go. He is a seditionist. Article 14 must be invoked.

His a beta male no one thinks much of the shit he speaks

have you posted anything about the riots in NYC and associated arrests of BLM etc from MLK pub holiday ? We will wait

McConnell is just a 'stirrer'. Trump has come out publicly on TV saying that 'riotus behaviour' cannot be tolerated. Did the ABC show that broadcast? Or are they still standing on their left legs only?

Republicans were complicit. Republicans were enablers. Watch them try to gaslight a nation.

Then he'd better vote YES on Impeachment and YES to barring him from office.

The Establishment always contained Donald Trump. Nothing gets in the way of corporate control over our societies - nothing. Democracy is “managed”. auspol

McConnell has divided GOP already who isn’t a prosecutor but a grump senate leader who has not a power to confirm who attack on capital.

Ok, agreed Trupm incited them, Why mob was allowed to enter capital? Were they not stopped deliberately to make a strong case against Trump. Was it an intel failure? Biden is making himself string by riding on Trump shoulders and failure which is a sign of a weak president.

If only he had he courage a few years ago to speak up things may have been so different but he didn’t.

Except there is zero evidence for making this claim. More FakeNews from TheirABC

but did not have the guts to come out earlier , how / why do MEN fear Trump so much , to such an extent like Govts in Australia , UK , the PARTY comes before any interest of the COUNTRY . see it every day , LNP , , KELLY , George , etc , Australia , LNP do not give a stuff

Lol what a load of shite. Nothing but ass covering now. Cowards the lot of em

Enabler.

Finally.

And did he accuse himself for having supported the orange menace to the hilt up to that point?

Behind each seditionist is a murder of lowlifes.

what an ass.....moscow mitch is also responsible

Its official, Mystique has taken over McConnells body!!

was it really an attack though? Or was it one stoner with a horn helmet leisurely walking inside a building?

Rats flee sinking ship, more at 11

Meanwhile Trump's popularity has never been better, not that TheirABC would ever admit...

Looks like Mitch's telling the children of the new administration what they want to hear.

Pity Mitch McConnell had not spoken up earlier - all along he praised and aided Trump badly damage US with his lies, attacks on other leaders, his abuse of people & total lack of understanding of world history. US a deeply divided nation after Trump.

Good to see the Republican Party leader stand up and call out Trumps unacceptable behaviour. I hope that other republicans stand up and vote to put an end to Trump returning in 4 years either as a republican or as a Trump party

Only because if he didn’t corporate sponsors will not give him money to keep him powerful

he protect his seat nothing else look his face ready to cry

Bravo 🎉 pour McConnell qu’il accuse Trump

Where'd that jellyfish find a spine?

Duh!

Ratify impeachment

Donald Trump hints at political comeback after US Senate acquits him | Sky News AustraliaDonald Trump says Democrats had been given a 'free pass to transform justice into a tool of political vengeance' after the US Senate voted to acquit the former president on charges he incited a violent insurrection.\n\nAlthough the final vote came in as 57 'guilty' and 43 'not guilty', the Democrats did not reach the two-thirds majority they needed to secure a conviction against Mr Trump.\n\nSeven members of Mr Trump's own party (Senators Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Richard Burr, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey and Bill Cassidy) joined Democrats on the charge of incitement.\n\nIn a statement after the trial, Mr Trump said it was 'a sad commentary on our times' that the Democrats had been given a 'free pass to transform justice into a tool of political vengeance, and persecute, blacklist, cancel and suppress all people and viewpoints with whom or which they disagree'.\n\nHe added: 'I always have, and always will, be a champion for the unwavering rule of law, the heroes of law enforcement, and the right of Americans to peacefully and honourably debate the issues of the day without malice and without hate.\n\n'No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few short months ago.'\n\nUS President Joe Biden said the acquittal was a reminder that democracy was 'fragile', and every American had a duty to defend the truth.\n\nMr Trump had been charged with 'incitement of insurrection' over last month's violence when the US Capitol was stormed by his supporters, just as Congress was attempting to ratify the 2020 election result.\n\nJust before the 6 January riots, thousands of his supporters gathered at a 'Save America' rally on the National Mall, minutes away from the Capitol. The Trump's will be importing thousands of containers of campaign merchandise from China and rake in hundreds of millions for their slush fund. Dems will keep winning if he runs again Trump has identified democratic weakness shown the way for a future despot to destroy American democracy.
