This statement is too little too late - had he said this at any point between the election and Jan 6th it would have held some weight. At this point it is obvious he his just positioning himself for his political future. ComplicitCorruptGOP

Trump should be ban not to run office again. He use fear and uses fear and violence. Always said all the glitter, not GOLD.

Did he mention whether or not the storming of the capitol was pre-planned?

And?

Games people play! Smh

Yet you said nothing until now senatemajldr

cut the food kill the beast ( and also must have helped having lost the Senate )

Mitch McConnell was the 1 enabler, he just stood by and watch these past 4 years for his own Political gain. He bragged about being the Grin Reaper like that shit was funny. He said... Let the States go bankrupt. His impeachment vote is a ?

McConnell was complicit for four years.

Like don Winslow said. Old. White, cowardly soft weak ass men ruining the world

Mitch McConnell and Bill Barr are two of Trump’s most important Enabler’s and Defenders. Pretending to represent moral decency or justice only days before Trump is forcibly removed from office Is a cowards self-serving smokescreen to save their own political careers.

We all knew these traitors would try to weasel thier way back into our good graces. It's Hell No for me.

A Globalist member of the Swamp speaks.

he should have realized it earlier...

Then vote to convict! And expel Hawley, Cruz, McCarthy, Greene, Brooks and Boebert!!

Impeach Trump point

Trump labeled the movement “STOP THE STEAL” and promoted the movement by encouraging supporters to join the movement. If their is anybody that doesn’t recognize the facts they are brain dead which includes 140 Republicans in the house.

Wow strong stance against the prez. Right before he slinks away like the destructive coward he is.

You are between..a Congress of 'Submissive' GOP Senators and...

They should’ve sent Trump home a longtime ago but Trump had all of them in his pocket.

Well, I quite rarely find myself saying something like this, but … … It sounds to me like McConnell pretty much has it right. And like I said, that’s a very rare event. :)

just a little bit too late...no wayyyy to late ol mitch the bitch!

That weasel, Mitch McConnell waited till the bitter end. In the end he stated reality. There is something about him I’ve never liked.

geegeebythesea Too late to save the GOPComplicitTraitors, senatemajldr. You could have done a patriotic thing, but you chose otherwise.
