McConnell denounces Trump's claims that the election was stolen and says failing to affirm its results 'would damage our republic forever'

McConnell: No proof before us of illegality on "massive scale" that would have "tipped the entire election"

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell dismissed President Trump's allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election, saying: "Every election we know features some illegality and irregularity and of course that's unacceptable. I support strong state-led voting reforms. Last year's bizarre pandemic procedures must not become the new norm. But my colleagues, nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale, the massive scale that would have tipped the entire election. Nor can public doubt alone justify a radical break when the doubt itself was incited without any evidence.

"We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of elections on the voters, the courts, when all states have all spoken," he continued. "They've all spoken. If we overrule them it would damage our republic forever. This election actually was not unusually close. Just in recent history, 2000 and 2004 were all closer than this one. The electoral college margin is almost identical to what it was in 2016," he continued."Dozens of lawsuits received hearings in courtrooms all across our country.

A little too late Mitch!!!!

Now he says this after realizing that these ignorant people don't want a government to oversee them. they want to run this country on their terms, the nooses, the deportation of all immigrants. These people have gained power by the presidents words. Shameful

Too late to desert your 'Boss' now Mitch. The blood is on your hands too.

This guy and the rest of the old farts needs to retire !!!

This is the result after you have elected a thug as your leader of the country

McConnell has total control over everything that does or doesn't go on with the GOP. Make no mistake, EVERYTHING happening falls squarely on McConnell, Trump is merely his monster.

You did the right thing!!!

Well, where was this rhetoric months ago? Years ago? McConnell needs to be investigated for his role in this disaster. Right now- the republicans need to haul trump out from hiding and make him end this-

After 1/20/21, we should treat 45 like the evil boyfriend he was & never speak his name again.🤬🤔

like he gives a shit

Ones again to Sen. Cruz the only one that have been saying that Our Election was Rigged was the sitting president and your 11 other Senators and know the people he riled up are saying the same-thing, a cuckoo of a president that Doesn’t like to loose.

Too late by a mile. Good McConnell said it but the damage is loooooong done.

McConnell as the voice of reason. Weird times.

actually that is the point he washed his hands I don't think this means what you think though

He's as deep state as the deep state gets

Now he phucking CARES? POS Traitor

Now, American politicians learn from your new election & don't try to go to the same rabbit hole again. Each time, when losing party doesn't accept the out come, they compound the illegality & then other party will push more than the first Look 2000 Al Gore, GA 2018 Stacey Abrams
