U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called Donald Trump 'practically and morally responsible' for his supporters' deadly attack on the Capitol, only moments after voting to acquit the Republican former president on an impeachment charge of inciting the melee. The top Senate Republican explained the unexpected turnabout at the end of a five-day impeachment trial, by declaring it unconstitutional to convict Trump of misconduct now that the former president has left office and become a private citizen. The Senate earlier in the week found that the trial was constitutional in a 56-44 vote.

President Biden’s flurry of executive orders has now extended to housing policy — and to a pledge to reverse the Trump administration’s approach to “fair housing.” Specifically, that would mean reversing the Trump reversal of an Obama-era rule known as “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” — designed to introduce “affordable” housing into higher-income, suburban zip codes. To justify a return to this controversial policy, President Biden rehearsed a long litany of federal housing-policy sins.

But Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, should it be restored, is just that. Federal pressure — through the leverage of local aid programs — to force the introduction of subsidized rental housing for low-income tenants has long been a guarantee of resistance by lower-middle class residents, white and black, justifiably concerned that households who have not strived and saved to make it to their neighborhoods will pose problems.

Well maybe McConnell has half a conscience. He's better than that Greene psycho lady.

BALLESS TILL THE END..

*rolls eyes*

Dems may lay claim to morality but their open hatred and vicious politics sure show otherwise.

If so Moscow Mitch, why did you vote against impeachment? Sadly seems patriotism is a struggle for Republicans!!

Mr. McConnell has NO credibility left; zip.
