Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell addressed the January 6 attack on the Capitol, saying 'the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.'

The Senate majority leader said he'd"vote to respect the people's decision and defend our system of government as we know it."for the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, saying he had"provoked" the violent mob of the president's supporters.

The Kentucky senator also affirmed that Biden and Harris will be sworn into office Wednesday and urged a bipartisan path forward and vowed a"safe and successful" inauguration at the Capitol. Last week, even as McConnell made it clear he thinks that no impeachment trial should start until after Trump leaves office, he signaled in a letter to his colleagues that he had not ruled out voting to convict Trump.

For once I agree with him

Mousie Mitch time for you to go champion your not a leader you’re a follower and at the moment America needs leadership.

If you can’t beat ‘em , join ‘em? A little too late...

Just to make life more fun. We learned that trump will represent himself at the senate trial.

1,459 days of excelent Presidency , in 1 day he fucked it up ! STILL THE BEST POTUS EVER 👍🔴🇺🇸🔴👍

Thank you. Let’s take a bipartisan bold step and do something for the poor and indigent. Lower their medical and academics cost. hold local churches, of all denomination, in line to help their poor partitioners. And, let’s get America to what it used to be.

UMMM YOU ALSO PROMOTED THOSE LIES...snake.

QUISLING!

Thanks Mitch. So good to see. It’s time for a renewal of the GOP. This is what we want to see. Real conservatives with real conservative values. Not the shit Lindsey, Jordan, Nunes, Quanon ir the 126 GOP repr. On “the list of shame”. Their ideas we tried for the last 4 years.

There not all lies its a distraction why because the government wants u to believe trump did this so he looks bad plus this impeachment is for trump so he can't run again for president because there afraid the he might win there scared....

I am sure a lot of them were from the state of Kentucky

Now do something about it instead of just talking talk

tedcruz Your leader has spoken.. Just so you know it isn't only AOC that needs to remind you of your part in the capitol insurrection!! Kindly resign now!!

I’m sorry. This is outrageous. “We certified the people’s choice of their 46th president.”

senatemajldr you were one of the many leaders telling lies! Not acknowledging Biden’s win and staying silent while Trump undermined the integrity of the election. Shame on you, you are responsible for this!

Save it Mitch. This is just a pathetic attempt to deceive voters of his own complicity in this farce. You enabled this. You deliberately & if even say with malice held up over 250 bills, most bipartisan, just to make the party look bad. Own your decisions & your place in history

Other powerful people like the SenateGOP and HouseGOP . Never forget.

All he ever wanted was a far right supreme court, trump gave him that, and now he's done with him...HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED

🥀G🅾️🅾️D 🅰️Ⓜ️ERℹ️C🅰️🥀 TwittiZens, Let’s have a New President Follow Back Party❣️ Drop your handles & we can all celebrate together after the Inauguration. StrongerTogether 🙏🏾💙

Such a shame this was not said earlier, meanwhile people like Hawley are still pushing the lie to capture the last dregs of Trumps dying supporter base.

The mob should have used their sence of reasoning if Trump for instance had told his followers swallow poison or fall in to fire so they will go ahead? is nonsense followers should be able to differentiate good from evil because when crime is committed president can't intervene

kurlye2012 you sound like your mumbling old relic. lol

kurlye2012 Mitch retire dude you have been around for decades. idk what Kentucky is drinking but they are stupid to keep reelecting you.

McConnell has dragged the GOP so far down into the gutter of far right politics that rats are climbing through the windows because they think they now own it. The GOP is going to have to clean house with bleach and a pressure washer just to get the stink out, it'll be years.

For references who want to find additional income or money from the internet. I hope it's useful and good luck everyone.

What is that assclown tedcruz doing in the speakers seat? SpeakerPelosi should disinfect it 10x over, before she sits in it again. fuckTedCruzrightinttheasswithabigrubberdick

Big Govt will now dictate what you are going to do. Options? Lmao. Nah, they don’t want you having to think

The Russian Bot speaks the truth again. So why is Lindsay still a asshole and still in a dating mode.. some fuckers never learn. Cruz and Whaley need to eat shit going forward.. what with the rest of compromised GOP republicans. What’s happening with Mo Brooks ? In hiding ?

How bout Term Limits on all of you

Today is officially Trash Day Don't miss the Florida flight

Too little too late Mitch.

the senate needs to do their job and vote on impeachment. then do a trial to convict trump stop this BS the house did its job easily. over 100 republicans voted against impeachment in the house vote. but some republicans stepped up to the plate and realize trump was wrong.

FINALFUCKERY then follow through Mitch. He must be stopped from EVER running for office again. You have the power to push this through

He always says a lot, what matters is how he acts!

Hearing McConnell say it means he knows exactly what kind of person Trump is now.

Why was Trump banned?

It's not as if he's had a sudden change of heart (nor as if he has one). He's just trying to save his own sorry political ass.
