Washington Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested on Tuesday that the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump distracted the US government from the growing coronavirus crisis in China.
In an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, McConnell said that the crisis"came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government, because everything, every day was all about impeachment.""Tom figured this out early, and he was absolutely right," McConnell added, a reference to Republican Sen.
Ho ho ho doesn’t that make since. 😂
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?
Deflecting responsibility as usual...leadership is expected to manage problems!
Ummmm
I thought he didn’t watch any of it, too busy running the country...into the ground!!
Get a grip Mitch, nobody's buying it anymore. You need to tell your boss not to open his mouth. He falls all over his 3rd grade reading level these days. I heard you might join him in the private sector.
Bullshit
But it didn’t distract him from going to India and discuss shit over there.
Really?
McConnell needs to retire or be booted out. How many times did Trump go golfing during impeachment Do your job!!!
This sounds like an admission that protecting Donald Trump's interests took precedence to protecting American lives. Blood is on the hands of the deniers and we remember who you are. I am afraid that 100,000 body bags may not be enough to hide our national shame.
It wasn’t even during the same time. Try another approach turtle
That means they suck at their jobs and need to be replaced if they can’t do both!
Mitch needs to go along with every reublican in there. All they do is bitch and complain about the other side when it is their arrogance that started this. They believe in a mindless leader just so they can make more money off of the death of the American people.
He has got to be kidding. Unbelievable
“As long as people aren’t talking about my missing chin, jawbone and spine” - Mitch McConnell - literally everyday
He has not been distracted by the impeachment - his whole attention was consumed by it ... that’s a complete different story!
This guy is so full of it that I am surprised the whites of his eyes are not brown but more importantly he is not ashamed.
really now. what a lame excuse for incompetence
Bull
Obviously these people can not lead while chewing gum!! That is NOT AN EXCUSE for your incompetence!!!
There is no virus. The virus is a hoax. In a week we will be down to 0 outbreaks. We don’t need to shut dow. We need to shut down until Easter. We need to shut down until May 1st. It is all the impeachment faults. TRUTH: TRUMP IS INCOMPETENT.
BS! TRUMP KNEW THE REPUBS WOULD BAIL HIM OUT! HE DIDN’T WORRY ABOUT THAT AT ALL! ALL HE WORRIED ABOUT WAS THE “OPS”, HIS “NUMBERS”, AND HIS RE-ELECTION KNOW IT’S REALLY HARD FOR YOU TO TELL THE TRUTH, JUST LIKE TRUMP, HIS CABINET, HIS APPOINTEES, ETC. YOU ARE ALL DISGUSTING!
Yeaaaaa.... that’s what it was.... Asshole
I agree
That is no excuse. So you're saying the GOP cannot walk and chew bubblegum at the same time? Give me a break 🤬🤬
Didn't distract him long enough to stop tweeting his bs, what were the people under him doing were they distracted also? He has no good reason as I'm sure you and GOP assured him wouldn't go along with it.
Gee ya think? Since everyone is blaming trump, Where were Pelosi, Schumer, and Schiff warning us about this virus? Everyone was too busy trying to impeach Trump to care and no one believed it would come to this.
another disgrace. Grow up.
Nice try Mitch but we all know the trail was over before the covid19 hit ....TRUMP said it was just a Democratic hoax Remember. OLD MAN...
Since the Impeachment hearings were over in December and Trump first knew of it in early January, one had nothing to do with the other.
Stop the blaming game already and start talking responsibility for your actions.
trump and this administration dropped the ball allowing trump to constantly involving himself in things that has nothing to do with his job like Kaepernick7 starting arguments with other people in office, ratings of the Oscars and the list goes on and on senatemajldr you failed
Stupid asswhole
1) Pandemic readiness should have began in 2018 when Bill Gates approached Trump on the topic. 2) Trump says in the article that he couldn’t have done a better job had he not been impeached. So the trial is a non-issue here. 3) Our leaders must do better in taking responsibility.
For fuck's sake
Oh please
And he’s exactly right..
SHAME
Truth hurts? FakeNewsCNN
😂🤣😂🤣 yet he had PLENTY of time to golf and tweet! Just stop already!
Either way CNN is all BS fake news. I wouldn’t believe them for any reason what so ever
The US has a patent on the Corona Virus, Europe has a patent on the vaccine, the American pharmaceutical company that owns the patent , you guessed it a Leberal Democrat drug company. I’m thinking this is either a way for them to make money or Dem conspiracy
It's true.
Oh cry me a river Moscow Mitch
Ronni03414325 It most certainly did. It isn’t everyday a President is impeached. He had to fight back as hard as he could bc the radical progressive liberals have been trying from day one to get rid of him. It kills them that he is not only still standing but he is still fighting like hell!
Not true and you know
It did not distract him from holding up legislation that the House passed months ago.
Putz...
...because the rest of the federal government was all focusing on impeachment.
I call BS!! When Clinton was in office and was being impeached he still did his job. He needs to get a thicker skin and do his damn job!!!
😣😣😣😣💔
True. Dems wasted precious time, money and resources by focusing on a bogus partisan unconstitutional impeachment instead of the virus and other issues going on in the real world. Put us all in danger.
Kentuckyans ain't buying it this time MoscowMitchMcTreason
BS . . . .
When the truth is not in your corner, go to McConnell to spin. Not surprising. What is surprising is how many dopes believe him/them.
WeThePeople will receive that statement because the Democrats were attacking him left and right non stop for three years. However, POTUS realDonaldTrump still received the victory and will continue no matter how hard you all try to destroy him. God is in Control Media
MoscowMitch is trying to blame anyone and anything to divert attention from the fact that INCOMPETENTPOTUS got us in this meaa
RevisionistHistory
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm really sorry for that country that I'd looked up to, as a youngster growing up.... It's really a disrespect, what is being served at present 😮
🤣🖕🏼Fuck you, senatemajldr
Nonsense will get senatemajldr straight back to Kentucky or wherever he hides to. AmyMcGrathKY all the way to DC
WHAT THE FUCK EVER!!!!
Really so I guess we are going to blame the Democrats for this.., what a political plot this is.. I can see the ads now
One of the reasons I don't 'follow' CNN is that they have spent years promoting these kinds of headlines instead of doing real journalism which would say: McConnell trying everything to help 45 escape responsibility for worst response possible -
Any excuse he can pull out of his useless ASS. It is so sad that the useless POS on top and all this who blindly follow, feel they do no wrong and accept no responsibility for the bad decisions and break their arms patting themselves on the back for everything good that happens.
Isn’t this like saying “ the policeman who came to my door to arrest me for my crime, is responsible for distracting me from continuing my crime? Isn’t this illogical? The House Impeached Trump for crimes he continues to commit and then the Senate let him off. That is fact true
Look at the cause and the effect of your figure head unable to lead unable to multitask
Mcconnell is a liar. Mcconnell obstructed America for 11 years now. He wants power at all costs. Evil.
Your a clown Mitch McConnell, but a dangerous one!
Mitch you knew and you never said a word what a coward.. Now people are dying due to your silence. And don't blame the Democrat u coward you just admitted you knew. Coward
No it didn't
Turtle senatemajldr has nowhere to hide, Trump played too much golf, tweeted lots of b*llshit in the last 3 month. realDonaldTrump CovidTrump
Sen. McConnell needs to understand that Trump is the distraction.
Everyone needed time to dump their stocks before trump started with reality.
It didn’t distract Trump from golfing
Oh my goodness you sir have no shame as Trump golfed, had his praise me as your God rallies during this entire proceeding. You all need to be kicked out. Grossly incompetent
Find scapegoat.
Here goes moscowmitch senatemajldr protecting dear leader again!
Shut your ancient pie hole. He was busy golfing, going to campaign rallies, & demonizing the Dem candidates. Not on the impeachment, which, BTW ended Feb 5th. Your Party failed this country by embracing an imbecile. The blood is on your hands, too.
He’s not wrong.
WE KNOW THE FACTS MITCH. WE KNOW THE TIMELINE. HE WAS INFORMED ON DECEMBER 22,2019. 4 DAYS AFTER HE WAS WAS IMPEACHED.
McConnell gets agressive...
Yo Moscow Mitch the distraction is...why 45 wasn’t impeached!!! Then a real leader could’ve tackled corona
According to the leading pandemic 'expert' in the US, Dr. (t)RUMP, graduate of the 'esteemed' tRump University, 'in two days the virus will magically disappear!'
Wow, just Wow!
DitchMitch DumpTrumpNow VoteBlueToSaveOurLives According to the leading pandemic 'expert' in the US, Dr. (t)RUMP, graduate of the 'esteemed' tRump University, 'in two days the virus will magically disappear!'
Hardly. Your job is to drive the ship. That means watching in more than one direction. Sad
We just can't fix stupid
Yup. It did.
*Golfing
Idiot
More importantly is he finally admitting he knew about this as far back as early October when stated “we didn’t get a heads up till it was too late”. LIES! ALL LIES!! Flipping idiot!
Here we goooo
Are you kidding me Anything to justify how stupid they all are, Trump and him in the front
I have seen many turtles multitask. They can move slow and chew. Little to much for moscowmitch. JoeNBC
Yeah u are right senator. U people should have pay more attention to DAT deadly virus
senatemajldr needs to be voted out along with Jim_Jordan LindseyGrahamSC and realDonaldTrump Actually VOTE all of the GOP OUT
All the time he was downplaying it, calling it a hoax and will disappear... That was a time he should’ve started to make preparation, had he done that a lot people would still be here.
Walk and chew gum, morons.
McConnell is a shameless lying old man.
Scary old men on both sides of the aisle.
He is pure evil. A vile money hungry monster.
Ridiculous! He MUST go! KY, we have held strong through the great leadership of Andy! Let’s not let him drag us back down! ditchmitch2020
Can’t walk and chew gum ?
Nonsense in one word! nobody believes this, I hope!
Bull Shit!
But he had time to plan how to put asylum seekers in cages and golf every weekend?
The Dems held a debate a few weeks after Trump put together a task force and closed travel to/from China, and no mention by any of the wanna be presidents or liberal moderators about the Wuhan Flu. Just impeachment! So someone was distracted, but I don’t think it was Trump
He is correct. Ypu isiot liberals blame everything on Trump when it was you liberals trying to impeach him. Talk about idiots.
So damn full of shit!!!!🙄🖕🏾
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He wanted to open America by Easter so that he could back to playing golf at mar a lago. What an inconvenience Covid 19 has been for him.
It’s on Schiff and Pelosi, end of story!
No he blatantly disregarded the science and his repeated comments on video are evidence. He failed as the Commander in Chief and now is trying to pass blame. Devoid of any testicular fortitude whatsoever. But I don’t expect that much from him.
Ditch moscowMitch
Typical Republican diversion from Moscow Mitch
Well yeah
So, DT’s criminal activities distracted him from serving and protecting Americans.
Bullshit.
gaslighting much McConnell?
So, SenateMajLdr can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Bill Clinton continued to do his job during his impeachment, but Trump thought it was more important to hold rallies and go golfing.
Oh BS!!!!!
MoscowMitchMcTreason is grasping at straws....and they're just not there. The last straw was when he led the Republicans, except for Romney, to keep this inept malignant narcissist as POTUS.
Mitchplease
This isn’t news
Trump did NOT participate in the impeachment proceedings. He instead went golfing.
The Arseface Company strikes again.
A good president would concentrate on nation’s best interest instead of his personal problems.
A fly could distract our Government! It's pathetic to use that as a reason to not be prepared.
If the don was impeached we wouldn’t be in the condition we’re in now.
Impeachment distracted them? They knew the outcome in Dec!!!!! Moscow Mitch is going to lose in Nov anyway so who cares what he says anymore
Trump wasn't distracted! He had time to go to rallies and say it was a hoax!
Bull shit
It sure as fuck did not impeach him again
Anyone that is that simple minded is incompetent to lead.
A fly on the wall distracts this idiot. He is to self absorbed to care about anything and anyone.
? It could have been a nuclear, biological or chemical attack and ...oops sorry I was distracted
So this will be the defense for having slept at the wheel
Are you telling us that the US government cannot do to things at once? Oh I forgot its not about America its about how Trump is feeling about his Image at the time. YOU SHOULD START WORKING FOR AMERICA AND NOT FOR TRUMPS IMAGE. YOU WHERE IN OFFICE WAY BEFORE,
Didn’t distract them from making financial decisions based on the intelligence briefings.
Is that why he was golfing and campaigning during that time? Must have been horrible for him. McConnell
😂
Exactly true
Blaming others for your own ineptitude is inexusable.
Fake news
Of cause there should be room for an impeachment trail
He never once was at the impeachment hearings. I think he had plenty of time to not watch FOX News.
His fingers would have knotted up should he have to tweet about 2 things.
If this was genuinely the case (which it wasn't), then it demonstrates even more why the current US government is not fit for purpose.
Um no.
They sure had enough time before selling stocks.
Multitasking?🤔🤔🤔
Nope
If McConnell and the GOP can't focus on more than one thing at a time maybe the US people need some brighter people governing them.
I agree
No shit! Pilosi was too busy handing out pens.
As if anyone would believe anything that he said.
Gee, maybe if governing is too complicated, we should find someone who can multitask. DumpTrump2020 VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Pathetic - this thing - can't call him a man - is despicable
Wow, just wow what a piece of mierda this guy is.
You see where that is going, don't you? It's the Dems ' fault.....😂 😂 😂
Democrats are always lagging behind on what really counts because they have a selfish agenda of greed and power. Really MAGA Vote Republican 2020🇺🇸🙏🏽
Is he saying that he can only do one thing at a time?
Why wait-they've obv come up w/this shit as the latest way to put it on the Dems. The repugs -ridiculous the way they sell shit to the stupid and ignorant. Who just eat it up like candy-anything to avoid accountability and personal responsibility-The most excuse filled party on🌎
Every time he opens his mouth b.s spews out.
Of course the impeachment ended Feb 5th & for weeks Later Trump was downplaying the seriousness & blaming others while golfing.
Is this the best lie you can come up with.
Oh, please. Keep drinking the koolaid. November is coming.
Among other worthless activities perpetrated by socialist democrats for more than 3 years.
OMG ARE YOU DUMB? senatemajldr
All that means is that T cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. McConnell is disgusting..trying to defend the indefensible.
ALL TOGETHER NOW... 1... 2...3... BULLSH!T!!!
BS!!
He's a creature. Deserves all the bad things.
hahahahaha aaahahahahahahahaaaaaa
WRONG! If Dump didn’t spend two weeks sticking his thumbs up his ass calling it a “Democratic Hoax” we wouldn’t be in such a mess...
What a WEAK statement!🥱
I smelt his foul stench all over this propaganda
discusting!!
That's the current unified Party line. The problem, of course, is that it fails the evidentiary sequence of events as they happened.
Excuses
Yeah mitche! Anything you say is bullshit. You don’t give two fxcks about the American people. Pray that you get voted out
He is saying he can’t chew gum and work at the same time then it is time for him that did nothing for the America people sham trial well I guess that took time with Trump to do one then he needs to resign
McConnell has been distracted for years; House-passed bills just pile up & languish on his desk, never again to see the light of day.
I can't wait for someone to slit open his chin sack and release the souls of aeons of unbaptized children from purgatory!!
If they ignore the problem, why sell the stock? If they didn't ignore the question, why did they do nothing?
Basically stating that they can’t walk & chew gum at the same time. It’s hard to kowtow AND prepare for a crisis. We feel ya, bro. You got a tough job. CoronaVirusHOAX AnyoneButTrump2020
When are Democrats gonna take responsibility for killing Americans
No excuse.
It's not a suggestion it's a fact
senatemajldr that is hogwash we say down south. Trump got the intel & he had plenty of time to go to work on this instead of the impeachment but he chose that because he knew he did wrong &you guys knew it and spent your time defending it. It was time the fatalities didn’t have
Trump must be a very weak man.
Moscow Mitch can go suck on an egg. Here is Don the Con's schedule from that period of time...
WTH is this fool talking about? Impeachment was in 2019. I am so over this guy. He really needs to retire. Leaders admit fault...not use execuses.
Shut up turtle
Criminal negligence
CarolynColson Lies more Lies!
He is out of his mind! So Mitch is saying the Trump Administration can’t multitask. We need to clean house of politicians and pass a law to limit their terms to 6 years and no more.
I have a few suggestions for MoscowMitch. 🖕🏻
And?
Excuses, excuses! The President was briefed on what happened in China since December. He did nothing.
Baloney
Nonsense
Republicans want power. They want to control the country. Yet when they fuck everything up, they refuse to take responsibility. Same as War in Afghanistan and Iraq. Same as Great Recession. You break it. You buy it. GOP owns the CoronavirusPandemic
Snowflake.....MoscowMitch
Very convenient for Mitch McConnell. For Mitch McConnell said himself I will never pass a bill that a black man put before me. Moscow match has never been more a Russian asset than he has always been an immoral racist.
Is that why McConnell was unable to bring any of the 100's of bills passed in the House up for a vote in the Senate. Please Kentucky, do the country a favor and retire Mitch.
It distracted one party for certain and it’s the one that keeps making up things that never happened about Trump.
Do you really want to go there senatemajldr? Perhaps if the President hadn’t solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election there would have been no need for an impeachment trial at all. Stop trying to divert blame.
🤣🤣🤣
What a joke.
Didn't seem to distract Chuck Schumer....and he was actually AT the hearings.
He lies chis chin is growing.
gtconway3d
gtconway3d Who votes for these idiots?
American Idiot
Oh ignorance will be the death of us. Blind ignorance during the inquiry and the same during the trial. Republicans value your vote but not your life ( fewer citizens they need to control and dictate to ) ever get tired of being treated like sheep by Congress? senatemajldr GOP
I think that history will show that the Trump Admin was not caught off guard. The world mis-judged how contagious the virus is, but Trumps early action probably bought us a few weeks of otherwise undetected infection.
Shame on you Mitch!! Your constituents are so very proud!!
Lol. Moscow mitch is a joke...and his timeliness are way off! 🤣
God help us who is going to ensure s fair and impartial election come November?
Didn’t know they all had ADD in the Government...
McConnell is correct. The virus was happening while the Democrats were sharpening their knives.
FUCK THAT FROG LOOKING MF
Nice try McConnell.
gtconway3d That’s cute. Maybe they coulda used the virus to distract from the impeachment.. oh, wait, Americans weren’t dying in the thousandsat that point. Only Asians... Horrible horrible people
Trump on replay. Over and Over and Over and Over and....
No, that is incorrect! The timeline doesn’t match up.
szysgt Orange man bad.
Yes, it did. Among other things
tequilamir It is not a suggestion CNN! No wonder you are called fake news.

Duh! Of course he would say something so absolutely stupid.
Gosh, really? He is usually so much better bullshit than this!
Fuc yu!!!!!!!
Just when you think senatemajldr can't get any more grossly inhumane, he opens his fucking mouth and proves us wrong.
Trial didn’t interfere with his multiple golf outings.
If they can't focus on impeachment and the threat of this virus then they shouldn't be there. I focus on more than that daily while struggling with epilepsy and my 8 year old. Just more bullshit excuses from bullshit administration. Anything to not take the blame.
WOOOOOW! These thugs are pure criminals! They knew this virus was coming! Unbelivable! Talk about CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY!
Trump’s schedule when he was distracted.
Shut up clown
gtconway3d Of course dick head ! Read this :
senatemajldr knows better! realDonaldTrump doesn't have time to be a president because he's too busy padding his and moscowMitch pockets instead of leading
Yes senatemajldr it was the impeachment trial in Jan. 2020 that so distracted the NSC pandemic office, that was disbanded in May 2018, and never replaced.
Bullshit!!! Please don’t let the gop liars get away with this please!!!
He's right.
What a surprise...excuses, excuses.
As much as I can't stand Rand Paul, why couldn't it be this POS to get the virus?
Oh please. Desparate. He knows he might not survive, literally, the stupidity of his inaction and spineless enabling
He a liar plain and simple!
That lying P.O.F.S. Traitor outta be shit for the shit he’s pulled since blocking Garland from being allowed so much as a hearing for SCOTUS! Who would ha e been unanimous 100-0 approval! Traitor Mitch
Walking and chewing gum is tough for hypocrites
Can’t walk and chew gum at the same time?
甩锅大王
Seems like he was going on about his business just fine during the impeachment. If he was as confident as he acted, he should've been focused on the pandemic!
Shameful drivel from the man going to lose in Kentucky in November!
Kind of sad the government can’t handle two issues at once. lameexcuse
Cock Nibbling Niers
Of course he is right
Are most GOP Leaders LIARS? The Democrats can multitask shame Republicans can’t. How could the Impeachment have affected anything, when the Republicans just stone walled it. Pence would handle this much better than Trump ever will. Trump’s GOP inaction has ruined the USA! FACT!
Wwww...hat?
No shit!
Where’s the lie?
All you need to debunk that
ass kisser of the month!
Alex, what is ' That is some bull$!+ right here!' For $2.4b.
TheRepublicanMob ... any excuse to keep from taking responsibility for their actions... VTO people 🤨
Two weeks after the Senate's acquittal Trump was saying it was going to work out fine. Three weeks after that he was still downplaying it.
GOPPropaganda
First blame China, now the trial? Is that all you can comp up with?
Liar.....
Pride and prejudice have distracted the US government from China's growing coronavirus crisis.
Typical GOP senatemajldr realDonaldTrump vp WhiteHouse try to pass the buck and blame everyone else for their incompetence & lack of leadership
That's accurate.
The point is the radical lefts insatiable desire to take out a duly elected president through every and any extreme measure necessary to their radical cause has absolutely distracted The nation. That’s just a fact !!!
Sorry Mitch!! That excuse doesn't jive with all the golf dates and rallies that President Trump took. You'll have to come up with a better excuse than that. Trump screwed this up so bad and he continues to screw it up! And the worst thing is that people are dying because of him.
Apparently they can’t multitask?
Fake news CNN
These idiots will find all excuses for their negligence. The administration should be held responsible for involuntary manslaughter for the loss of thousands of innocent lives.
senatemajldr can🖕🏻off.
Trump had rallies on —Jan 9th —Jan 14th —Jan 28th —Jan 30th —Feb 10th —Feb 19th —Feb 20th —Feb 21st —Feb 28th He golfed on: —Jan 18th —Jan 19th —Feb 1st —Feb 15th —Mar 7th —Mar 8th CPAC FEB 26-29 SURE,impeachment-ended Feb 5th-is what stopped him from responding to COVID
Bullshit
Let me try that again. BULLSHIT
Bullshiy
senatemajldr Total baloney
So we’re all coming together as one during this crisis...
Why would trump be preoccupied with impeachment when the outcome was rigged from day one. He knew, we all knew, the gutless gop would acquit him in the end no matter how much evidence there was. The truth is that trump is lazy and stupid. He didn’t want to deal with the virus.
Well maybe Donnie shouldn’t have tried to bribe that Ukrainian. Every thing has it’s consequences. He really doesn’t concentrate on much.
Oh my god what a joke.
Perhaps if the Senate majority had done its job you would not have had a lame president and the White House would have been better off to deal with a crisis
So CNN y’all have blood on your hands. I guess killing Americans was what Soros told you to do.
McConnell is so ridiculous that makes me laugh.
🤡
He won't be missed...
Time frame not even close
gtconway3d bullshit
Moscow Mitch got it backwards. He is fabricating a story to place blame on others instead of handling up on his responsibilities. Get it right!
Hilarious, anything to deflect responsibility.
And he’s not wrong. All these BS distractions from democrats to try and put mud in Trumps eye hurts American citizens.
Republicans always looking for someone to blame.
It true
Yeah, nice try, Mitch. He was busy telling us it was a big hoax long after that.
True. Finally you report something correctly.
Let’s have one more right wing excuse for this lunatics behavior. Most people with a shred of intelligence can see right through this. Hoax.
Because it DID...it distracted EVERYONE.
George Conway: Impeachment didn't distract from coronavirus preparations. Trump did. 'Trump managed to get to Mar-a-Lago at least 4 times in Jan. and Feb., working in a few rounds of golf ... He held 5 campaign rallies... during the impeachment trial.'
Disgusting. The impeachment Farce didn’t distract any oth them for a moment. Trump’s ego an ineptness destroyed the nation.
NOT!!
This is total BS and an attempted distraction to his inability to work for the American PEOPLE and continue to provide for CORPORATIONS and his cronies pockets. He has to go
gtconway3d I call B.S.
Sure u turtle face just another excuse for baby potus
gtconway3d
Nope. Trump said after the impeachment that it was just one person from China. Easy peasy.
I think it was more because Hillary failed to email about it.
Exactly correct!
O...M...G.... Quit the BS!!!! Nothing but excuses!!
Really dude?!
Oh, please...!
gtconway3d Nice try Moscow Mitch.
There are no other words needed
Nice deflection. We’d save many lives if he would’ve been impeached. 45HasBloodonHisHands
The impeachment was never about removing trump. It was a distraction from Iran, embassybombing, china, NorthKorea, and of course COVIDー19. Designed to make it appear he is incompetent at being POTUS. Politics thrive on deceit, and shadow games. youdonthearme
This man is a poster child for the word MORON...
Excuses, excuses and that's all you can have. Admit the truth you all F..... UP. That's all.
BS, these people are useless.
gtconway3d As we get older, we have a difficult time multiple tasking. Resign old man Mitch, take up gardening.
Bull-shit!
senatemajldr realDonaldTrump Trump’s impeachment trial, which started Jan 16, 2020 and ended Feb 5, 2020, this is what Trump did. Trump & MoscowMitchMCConnell were inattentive to the needs of our country and both of you need to be removed from your elected positions.
Oh my god.
gtconway3d
Like hell! Nobody’s going to believe that one.
McConnell is Con and his buddy trump is a waste
Impeachment ended Feb 6th Trump said virus was a democratic Hoax Feb. 26th. Mitch, you’re a liar. DISGUSTING
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that’s reaching even for a turkey neck fucker like him 😂😂😂😂
Wait I thought it was all Obama's fault!
You guys must really be excited about Biden.....eh? He’s a lock, don’t ya think?
You need to leave office.
senatemajldr Nice to know POTUS can't walk and chew gum at the same time. However, it seems he CAN golf and attend adoration rallies, but- we know- priorities. Also, perhaps if he'd stop committing crimes, there wouldn't be a need to impeach.
Oh boy,Trump taught McConnell well !
There is no shame...
Lame
Yes, Majority Leader we are aware that Politicians in Washington can’t concentrate on more than one thing at a time. As a long-standing veteran of congress you should be aware of this, but unfortunately, that would require you to think of two things at once. Maybe next time.
Mitchel McConnel is a robot
Mitch is Trumps bitch
Tired of excuses? Yeah, me too. Mitch, go wash your hands. Kentucky you can do better than this. Vote him out come November. Do it for yourselves, do it for the nation.
Hey Mitch senatemajldr did it also distract you from putting hundreds of pieces of legislation on the Senate floor?
I spend most of my time at work multitasking. It’s a shame our “president” is too stupid to do the same. 🤦🏻♂️
Democrats are now discussing, New impeachment investigation as Americans is dealing with Coronavirus
Trump should be impeached again for this fiasco. Better yet invoke the 25th amendment.
Walking and chewing gum at the same time is not their forte' It's because they didn't impeach him that we have this pandemic...
McConnell needs to be quiet.....grow up and be a responsible leader
Duh...
What is he smoking?
😂😂😂😂. Yeah whatever MoscowMitchMCConnell
Mitch please..... stop making excuses....
I can’t wait for him to get infected!!!! POS!!!!
He is absolutely correct.
They can't chew gum and walk?
That more cover up by senatemajldr MitchMcConnell for Trump.
He always looks like he just shat his pants in every photo.
Nothing is out of the question for these traitors even in times of national emergency.
It’s not trumps fault for trying to cheat?
Can't walk and chew gum there Mitch?
Where’s the LMAO emoji on this thing. Whatever 🙄🙄🙄
Trump and the White House were NOT distracted by impeachment. When the articles were submitted on Jan 16. The Wuhan health commission was at that time insisting things were under control. By then the first infected person in the US was back home and undetected!
Hmmmm, you would have thought that Impeachment would have distracted Chick Schumer but he was raising alarms on January 26 when Trump and the GOP were calling it a hoax. Do not try to pin your failure on anybody else. It’s yours Mitch. Remember your 3 day weekend in March? We do
Oh bull crap! So, he’s telling the American public that the Republicans and Trump can’t do more than one duty/focused solely on impeachment. Wow, then they are not fit if they can’t ha d.e more than one issue at a time! Retire and let our country move on with the next generatio
Your president is a criminal. That’s the story.
Haha
Umm ... how big is the US government?
McConnell lies like trump and is every bit as big a traitor to the people of the US
Hahahaha we are doomed . This old man gotta meet the reaper and the devil shortly after
THAT ALL YOU GOT ?
They are more interested in getting re-elected than securing the safety of the American people.
Really!!!! Grown men and women - governing the largest economy in the world - being distracted having to do multiple jobs!!!!! We're in worse shape than I thought!!!
ComfortablySmug He isn't wrong.
Imagine how much better off America would be right now if realDonaldTrump was found guilty. McConnell has blood on his hands.
Fucking laughable !!!
The arsehole speaks again and spews more sh!t.
A chicken crossing the road would distract that imbecile
Just guessing that if it weren't for the impeachment hearings the country would have known about the coronavirus back in Dec., 2019 when our intel. agencies first told Trump, and him probably, of the coming pandemic? Really?
Kids use this strategy to divert attention when they get caught or are in trouble 🤔
Oh please!!! These a$$holes stop at NOTHING.
Yeah the CDC and HHS were deeply involved in impeachment hearings...
Unacceptable. Both my children are on the front lines with patients and this is just unacceptable!
Shame on SpeakerPelosi
McConnell is never tired of being wrong or of being unethical.
This is all that Moscow Mich can come up with to cover for Trumps incompetents. He was warned about the virus by the intelligent's community and down played it which has cost peoples lives. Trump wasted over a month fucking around doing nothing but lying and deceiving the public.
Exactly!!! And on the Democratic Debates the candidates were not concerned at all!!!
So many reptilian genes in one man.
LOL. These seem to be two separate functions. I get that leadership may have been diverted at times but the rank-and-file are not. Work still has to get done. Unless Repubs pulled career employees into their obstruction.
Aham but no
Nobody was available to keep an eye out for pandemics?
China is having the last laugh as Donald Ttumpnis on jus knees
So Mitch is saying he can’t do his job? Vote him out!
Seriously
yes tRump unlike Clinton can only focus on one problem at a time. I'm sure his dementia doesn't help.
Worthless and spineless turtle
F &$k that!
RepublicansFailAgain
That’s the new low
You’ll get yours big guy. I wish I could watch!
Impeachment didn't distract VirusVultures KLoeffler and SenatorBurr, they were both jurors in the GOP cover-up trial from Jan 16-Feb 5. Yet they still managed to attend classified Covid-19 briefings on Jan 24, cash in their stocks & turn an extra profit on Cisco.
Laughable
Horrible.
The finger pointing begins.
He and all that suggest such a ridiculous remark should hide their heads in shame. Plain ridiculous game it’s Cost lives
Mitch is admitting he can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
If you can’t multitask then you shouldn’t be in Congress you turtle!
No. The president should have been just doing his job the whole time. He knew he wouldn’t be removed from office so just carry on. He didn’t.
Blame anything but themselves.
🤔😂😂😂😂🤔 why even comment on this everybody knows it's a lie
Lol. That’s crazy!
Mitch, from a self employed independent voter here in nj. That is the best you got a-hole. Do you thing so little of your followers that they would even buy this line. That dog don't hunt. If the job is too much go back to the mansion you got from living off us. Please
Stupid sorry your boss said it was a hoax senatemajldr gop
He has zero shame. He can’t walk ,talk and chew gum at the same time.
Ah, the blame shifting strategy, to hide a sinking ship.
Donald Trump. Needs a MENTAL evaluation. Now. He blames everyone n everything for his Crazy Hitler Behavior. And seems to have a lot of Puppets Foloowing Him. Stand Up for Our Human Beings our People. Our Lives. What is WRONG with All of you. Why are u afraid of Him?
😂 then that government should be replaced .. That CDCgov colonel was not in that ..
Why? The President didn’t cooperate at all. He had plenty of time to be reviewing info coming in about the virus.
It did not distract the government. That’s an excuse for a poor response to a life threatening and nation threatening issue, that was downplayed.
Idiot reaching for straws because they are accountable!
MoscowMitch is full of shit...
Great job, Democrats
True
Of course the fake impeachment and attempted Russian collusion coup distracted the President and America. Everyone peddling in these lies should be ashamed. But now Communist China and all pushing their propaganda need to be held accountable.
Bullshit
Its true.
This is why you have a Pandemic Response Team and an expert imbedded in the hot zone like China, both of which were abolished by the Trump Administration.
So sad our government can’t handle multiple issues at once FakeNews
This why people of Kentucky need to vote this man out. While people are dying he's trying to cover for the incompetence of Trump and his administration.
The usual repub remark, opting out of why they are government officials. Crisis arises and they flee to their dungeons thinking only of themselves and lay blame on everybody else. Mcconnell snuggles up to all the bills he's been collecting just to prove his obstructionism.
Excuses and finger pointing
He’s distracted by his thumb.
Why is that thing still breathing? A waste of air... COVID-19, do your job because it's up to you since all your predecessors decided to fail humanity!
He’s right! We’re you covering the virus? I think not!
He is 100% right. Thanks for pointing this out CNN.
So...realDonaldTrump and senatemajldr are admitting they cant walk and chew gum at the same time! Vote ‘em out!
Can you say deflection senatemajldr ?
wow MoscowMitchMCConnell smacks donny boy hard. guessing he will abandon this stupid messaging when he realizes how stupid and inept this makes donny boy look
Idk, seems like the president calling it a hoax for two months had more to do with it than that.
That and a shit-ton of golf. Gimme a fuckin break
Wat a joke!!
McConnell should look into what Trump was doing during the impeachment trial. Trump wasn’t present at the impeachment trial, instead of addressing coronavirus he was watching Fox News and tweeting insults to democrats. No excuse for lack of response.
Nice try MoscowMitch - but seriously?
Really. Nothing will shame some people.
Nice try mitch
Nobody lies like republicans lie
senatemajldr is a liar! Trump was tweeting and golfing! GOPGenocide TrumpLiedPeopleDied
Trump was still teeeting !!! Could not have been that distracted!
All Trump did was watch TV and Tweet.
Impeachment didn’t stop trump from holding his klan rallies & golfing!
First China virus Now this impeachment trial The Throne of 🇺🇸 is the only thing they care What a distraction
Garbage!
McConnell is a traitor. Always has been.
Can’t read a calendar either.
How many times has reported that abortion is healthy ? stfu
Such a joke since neither the White House or the senate Republicans did any work related to the impeachment. Barred witnesses, rushed vote. The president golfed during it. So this is a laughable excuse.
Nope
That’s a joke, he must be deaf
I call BS
Old guys are terrible at multitasking. Time to elect more woman . They work, raise kids, volunteer and still find time to train for a half marathon
During the times he wasn't golfing or hosting rallies, he is/was also starting a war with Iran. Perhaps that too was a distraction
Yes it did
Don’t repeat his lies
Ha ha checkmate Republicans
Excuses excuses excuses fuckoff
Why do they keep lying?
Mitch McConnel and his GOP colleagues just continue the rhetoric that allows our President to never be responsible for anything. It is a very bad state of affairs as the world must grapple with the pandemic and our President and Senate Majority leader just continue to ring hands
Busy doing what. They had no intention of convicting trump from the start. He even said so on national TV. So what was distracting!!!!!
Surely he can have more than one thing on his plate at the same time? Oh, wait - I forgot - he is too senile to care.
Interesting , senatemajldr .. impeachment didn’t distract from realDonaldTrump ‘s hate rallies, bullying reporters and multiple golf trips! What a liar you are! Rallies & golf were MORE important than our lives. All you people do is lie! UnfitForOffice Vote
KATMillerTN Should be run out of town.
And is culpable
That’s funny, no who’s giving out fake news, lol.
Well?
Laughable
Looks like they’ve got their narrative chosen
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The GOP needs to stop covering for the ineptitude of this president. It will cost them their elections. He cannot multitask. He cannot keep from lying and grandiose embellishment, all of which points to mental disorders. He refuses help and counsel. He is a danger to our country.
You are a hypocrite why would anyone want to put a statement like that out at this time. You’re as bad as Trump blaming the Chinese for this virus. Cutting the administration funds and personnel for protecting us from things like this we’re done by your administration. Resign
when trump was cancelling travel from china house dems were holding their dork parade through congress with their souvenir pens. total clowns.
Plus Trumpito said it would just disappear into thin air like magic, so why waste tine&resourses on something that will vanish by Easter as far as he’s concerned!
So what he is saying is Trump is not fit for office. He is not capable of handling the requirements of the job.
Another red flag ignored
Trump had plenty of time to tweet
Hahahaha
Excuses excuses excuses. Disgusted by this man and that party.
Why hasn’t he been investigated for corruption!!!
Clearly not fit to be public servants... and I agree. Go away Moscow Mitch and the rest of ya. Useless.
Ignorant statement
Didn't distract several colleagues from using inside info on the severity of the coming pandemic and dump their stock while the we lost half the value in our retirement plans. Instead of giving out stock tips to their corporate buddies they could have started preparing the nation
Or, if senatemajldr McConnell hadn't sabotaged the impeachment hearing we would have been rid of realDonaldTrump and his dismissal, obstruction, and ineptness at handling the Covid situation wouldn't be an issue today.
Mitch needs to crawl back into his shell.
I guess Mitch can not walk and chew gum at the same time. I guess multi tasking is not a prerequisite for elected office if you are a R.
I would have gotten my ass fired if I didn’t know how to multitask. I’ll leave it at that!
realDonaldTrump GOP senatemajldr it is unfathomable that they are trying to pull this whilst all they did is obstruct the proceedings and dismiss Coronavirus as a hoax from the start
HAHAHA. LIKE HELL IT DID!! See the tweet with the most “likes”. MitchMcConneIl
The definition of hypocrisy is trying to use the impeachment to distract from the coronavirus by criticizing the impeachment as being a distraction for the coronavirus.
Mannnn what?! 😂😂😂😂😂
Calling all spin doctors, stat!
Nice try, you ...
All lies !!!
Everyone needs to realize they are admitting the initial response to the virus was a failure. If enough people throw this back at them they will see the hole in their talking point.
100% facts. The leftist media is currently using covid-19 to destroy Trump and this country.
Sorry, but the trial ended on Feb 5th.
So, trump was that distracted?
I suggest he’s a damn liar!
BS!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What fucking trial
So true , this is why the deep state cannot run
STOP SPREADING His LIES!!!! 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.' ~ George Orwell 1984
Always with the excuses. Isn't doing nothing his political ideology? This must be why his people fled Europe, no ability to accept responsibility for anything. chickenmitch
Oh, so now they’re admitting he screwed it up?
So what he’s saying is they’ve known about the virus this long and still did nothing about...oh this keeps getting better...
Don’t use the impeachment as an excuse when those given the assignment to prepare & warn us about potential viral pandemics were fired by the Trump Administration.
I wish we could fist fight politicians
That is true. Partisan fight distracted everybody. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer should be blamed as well as realDonaldTrump for the lack of preparation and slow response for the pandemic.
Nice try
ImpeachTrump Maybe Trump should not have asked a FOREIGN COUNTRY for Election help? Dont blame the Law Enforcement....blame the Crook
Mitch McConnell is just like trump. Blame anyone and anything for their lack of action and incompetence.
Bullshit! Most of us can multitask.
What a horrible human being
If It’s is a lab virus and a sick vision then all the nations collectively prove it and boycott them . Making stupid videos and sculptures of Mr Trump and mocking the leader is disgusting. If you elected him you jolly well support him and stand by him .
Naaaaahhhh!!!!
Of course it did
As it did. This isn't brain surgery. It's pretty obvious.
I truly truly don’t understand why you would make a statement like that. Blatantly irresponsible. Stop acting like a small child and actually do something useful in your position.
Every member of the gop should tattoo this on their foreheads and just keep their mouths shut forever, 'I don't take responsibility at all”. senatemajldr realDonaldTrump
Follow the timeline:
The gop base will buy that excuse. That’s all you need to know. Blame the Democrats.
senatemajldr is just as much a criminal as 45*. It accomplishes nothing to spew this nonsense, except to try and distract from 45*s incompetence. It won't work. TrumpLiesPeopleDie TrumpHasBloodOnHisHands RemoveTrumpNow NegligentHomicide
Bull💩 Although this POTUS can only handle one thing at a time, his focus is himself. TrumpVirusCoverup TrumpLiesPeopleDie TrumpWorstPresidentEver 25thAmendmentNow
Really? DHS and FEMA were distracted? BS.
🐂💩‼️
Trump shouldn't be impeached. Christians all over the world should fast and pray to God . Antichrist is looking for an opportunity but has failed. As for corona virus. Jesus Has destroyed it
If our legislators cannot do more than one thing at a time in our congress, they have no leadership skills and have no business being in government offices. Good heavens... 🤷🏼♀️🙄🤦🏼♀️🙏🏼
I am at the point now where if you still fall for this foolishness the GOP sells you than you are an idiot. There's really no other way to look at it.
You guys don't think it did? How stupid are you? And why is this news? FakeNewsCNN
Now that is hysterical ! What a joke !🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bullshit
Nice try.
Shows that McConnell is an idiot and needs to retire.
I thought Trump said we can do two things at once?
And attend fundraisers
MoscowMitchMCConnell is a POS - Major obstacle to US progress for decades! Donate & elect Marine Dem AmyMcGrathKY
If he had appointed competent cabinet chairs it would have been taken care of.
Let’s see his emails if he’s telling the truth.
Nonsense, out of the reality. Please remember all the declarations of Donald Trump during the month of February
China travel ban was announced on January 31 and went into effect on Sunday evening, February 2. It would have been earlier if China would have been forthright and notified the world in early December. Talk to SpeakerPelosi about delays!
But trump had time to golf!
Trump lovers will believe this.
