Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday mocked Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s threat to withhold the articles of impeachment until the GOP agrees to a fair impeachment trial for President Donald Trump, declaring that she may be “too afraid” to send the articles the Senate.
McConnell could sit down with Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as early as Thursday to negotiate the parameters of a trial. But the Republican leader has suggested he could pass an impeachment resolution with only Republican votes if talks with Schumer fall through. Schumer will meet with Pelosi Thursday to discuss strategy.The Kentucky Republican has rejected Schumer’s demands to agree on witnesses and trial debate structure simultaneously.
Some liberals have argued that Pelosi has leverage over McConnell, arguing she can withhold sending impeachment managers to the Senate to pressure him into negotiating with Schumer. Schumer says his letter to McConnell asking for administration witnesses was merely a response to McConnell's public statements about working with Trump and his repeated predictions that the Senate would acquit him. He asserted on Thursday that "Democrats want a fair trial" and that McConnell currently "has no intention of conducting a fair trial.
With a simple majority and the GOP controls 53 seats, although a number of Republicans like Susan Collins of Maine want McConnell and Schumer to work out a deal rather than see the GOP majority steamroll Democrats.

If Trump is a clear and present danger, why hasn’t Pelosi formally submitted the two sham articles to The Senate. Until then, Trump hasn’t been impeached at all. shamimpeachment
You hat better watch you 6 Moscow.
Work it out gentlemen
Yeah, she rally seems afraid TrumpCuck, she has made 3 the IMPOTUS
Jerk
senatemajldr ahhhhhhh... you are projecting!!! Nancy knows you are afraid to have a fair and unbiased Senate trial because the TRUTH is not your friend. 😏
Moscow Mitch and Republicans going to give Trump a pass. What happened to the Republicans that Impeached Bill Clinton or the Republicans that wasted millions and four years of Benghazi hearrings. What happened to the Republicans that only wanted to get to the TRUTH.
schoolyardgovernment
Just mocking himself with the dumbest 5th grade quip ever.
It reminds me of the conviction of Jesus Christ by Poncus Pilot.
Who is afraid? Moscow Mitch would choose to disavow his oath to the Constitution bc he fears what witnesses and a fair trial would bring to the country: the truth and the exposure of trump as a liar and threat to our country’s security and honor. They deserve each other
Lol transparent as ever. Reverse psych only works on children.
Really? McConnell has sunk to trolling Pelosi? That'll never work. She's a much better politician than he is.
It makes sense if you say it in the original Russian. MoscowMitch
Why term limits are needed in this country. Two terms in the senate = 12 years and 6 terms in the house =12 years and go home.
Moscow Mitch needs mentor.
MoscowMitch won't allow a true trial.. traitor
Moscow Mitch lost his pair when he put the dumpster trumpster above the constitution and the law!!!
It's the GOP that's too afraid to allow even one person to take the oath and testify in their impeached party leader's defense because they have no facts to defend him.
Moscow Mitch, shaddup and go away.
McConnell is another Trump, he's talking about himself. McConnell is afraid of Pelosi. Don't mess with Nancy!
“Afraid” is not an adjective I would assign to Nancy Pelosi!
Say that to her face
senatemajldr omg 😱 you keep the rhetoric going. Don’t you REALIZE you are working for the people of USA and the CONSTITUTION you seem to be confused.
So when someone plays hardball with whiny senatemajldr , he calls THEM afraid. MoscowMitch is afraid of a fair fight. He has never had the cajones to take one on.
She doesn’t have to send them at all you corrupted senator Moscow Mitch its all over being your ignorant aspect of how the constitution is supposed to work.Democrates can do anything set back an keep building evidence and keep passing bills to send to the senate but you stop them
Don’t trust a snake
Of course he does. Republicans love to mock, it's ingrained in the DNA of conservatives.
He held Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination for 293 days. Nancy can hold the articles at least that long.
He should talk... PutinsPuppet MoscowMitch AfraidOfTrump
Moscow Mitch!
These people sound like children in a playpen. Do your damn job or get voted out.
Nah Mitch, she’s just adding more so you can see em all at once.
Turtle McConnell acting like punk trumpster now , wow
Karma, MoscowMitchMcTraitor , karma.
Afraid? NO. EXTREMELY CUNNING? YES Impeached45 Impeached
the theatrics of the GOP during and after this Impeachment process don’t even meet a presentation of Macbeth by third-graders
Projection again. He's the one afraid to hold a real trial. He's neck deep in this s**t
Go SenSchumer 🇱🇷❤️
Riiiight, Nancy is ascared of you, sure.
Sure MoscowMitchMcTraitor MoscowMitch LeningradLindsay MoscowMitchMcConnell whatever
Stay strong Mitch. No mercy!! Not this time.
She doesn't take the bait, Mitch.. She's smarter than you..
McConnell, you have no credibility. Merrick Garland killed your integrity.
McConnell is a mith. He’s an arm of Donny. Independence is out of the question. 100 votes no longer valid only Majority Leader vote counts
Then he should have kept his moth shut
Hahahaha Does moscow mitch really think he can bait Nancy Pelosi with grade school taunts?
McConnell is the mockery. Let your headline reflect truth. Can’t you ever call a man out? Ugh
He's not mocking her; he's scared and he's trying to bait her into abandoning the plan that IS WORKING.
McConnell is a disgrace, a ridiculous fool!
angelatcoleman Pelosi is Not afraid, just wants a fair trial. Let Justice speak! No sense having a sham trial. Justice for all not for SOME.
What's he expect? 'Ooh! You calling me a coward?! I'll show you...!!' *Frantically stuffs envelope, shoos courier of to the Senate* Nope.
Pelosi is not afraid: she us smart. She is calling Miscow Mitch's bluff. Why are so many corrupt, ideologs in the Republican Party? Why are they so willing to cheat? Here's the answer: THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN'T WIN ANY OTHER WAY!!!!
Nancy afraid of Moscow Mitch? You haven't heard yet? Go ask Donald.
Actually MoscowMitch is afraid of a fair and impartial trial. To think that this traitor was once a judge is a horrendous thought...
To smart for ole Mitch, it's a brilliant move !!! IMPEACHMITCH IMPEACHPENCE MOSCOWMOTCH 45TRAITOR 45CRIMINAL 45CHAOS 45DISTRACTION 45CORRUPTION
Loser following the Trump playbook of insults.
Pelosi to McConnell, Eff You.
Smarter than you are...turkey neck
Obviously she is!
You think that’s mocking
This is hilarious. Ms. Pelosi proved last night that she can take Moscow Mitch down with a look.
bclewis3204 Shes not afraid of a dam thing. She just knows how lawles the Republicans aka Trumpkins are.
Is she out playing you turtle? Moscow has you back
I say don’t send over the Articles at all. Deny Trump the acquittal he desperately wants.
MoscowMitch is just trying to control the process; SpeakerPelosi has already shown the do nothing GOP that, unlike MoscowMitchMcTraitor, she doesn't take he cues from anyone... She and AdamSchiff, RepJerryNadler, and TheDemocrats are self-directed... LikeABoss
I don’t think she’s scared, just disgusted that old white male relics promise to not be fair and impartial in trying another old male relic for crimes they would have impeached Obama for in a second.
McConnell acts like a 12 year old bully. Madame Speaker is an adult.
I thought you needed human emotion and a voice with tonal range to execute a taunt?
Yes! What a brave move house speaker... Senate majority is barking on GOP's themselves when they crying out 'Partisan Devide'. Trump is GOP & had impeached. Trump violated the constitution & must account his offenses. GOPs must be impartial to call it non-partisan. Till Election.
A pretty snappy response for a turtle with no evidence of a sense of humor...
Says the prick who is too afraid to run in a district that isnt gerrymandered
MoscowMitchMcTreasonWeasel is too afraid to defy his lord and master to defend the Constitution.
Madam speaker; don't bite. Wait him out. It's been years since I've been able to use the phrase 'left him twisting in the wind...'
This the best MoscowMitch got? Game Over pal.
Moscow Mitch couldn’t last 20 seconds in the ring with Nancy. Unless Tranportation Secretary, ChinaChao jumped in. They might get 45 seconds as a tag team.
OMG..that man is low life.
Moscow Mitch gets his instructions from BOSS MAN, she's intelligent!
There is palpable and vigorous sexual tension between Pelosi and McConnell
Pelosi is the least afraid person right now.
SpeakerPelosi You should delay proceeding until after the Holidays, imo. At that point everyone can put their full attention on the behaviors and responsibilities of the Senate.
She's certainly smarter than Lapdog Moscow Mitch!
Everyone’s creepy uncle ...
He’s right. What a clusterfck for Dems. SpeakerPelosi hitched her wagon to far left looneys....huge mistake
Moscow Mitch is being played by the speaker. Moscow Mitch believes habitually lying is OK. It might be OK in Kentucky but not with the rest of America.
Speaking of afraid.
As long as MoscowMitch coordinates with the worst president ever, there is no rush to cover up the corruption and hysteria of pabotus with and by the gop senate’s corruption, hysteria and fear of pabotus so the American people can be educated voters. Your corruption is showing
I'm sure Speaker Polosi is so scared of MoscowMitch
Afraid of YOU? If you haven’t learned by now that you’re attacking someone not only much smarter than you, with an inner strength you can only imagine & with morals that you have never & will never possess, then you are more willfully ignorant than I ever imagined.
McTurtle's got it almost right, just one word off: instead of 'afraid,' she's too 'smart' to hand them over to him until he can prove he's 'mature' enough to handle them. I say she tables them. Why not? Takes his power away, shuts him the hell up. He remains impeached.
He’s right.
Reminds me when senatemajldr was too afraid to let Obama's supreme Court pick through like he was Constitutionally required to.
And yet Moscow Mitch doesn’t want to have the President’s top officials to testify at the Senate trial. And who’s the coward again? 🤨🤔😂
They are ridiculous. Is this Congress or a grade school playground?
hahahahahahahah the evil ones are skiddin' the britches for they know the truth is closing in. the light is here and there is no going back. moscow mitch is one soulless entity who WILL be LOOKING UP after his time expires on our assaulted earth.
And you led with this. Typical. And pathetic.
She is waiting for the right time, but she afraid? Not at all!
Mitch is like an OLD USELESS HORSE. His time is up. The only thing he's useful for is stroking Trumps 1 nut.
😂 She’s going to show you how afraid she is!😂
Tell the turtle to go back to his shell. MoscowMitchMcConnell
Watched her blathering while seemingly lost. She tries to look Speaker-like, but mostly confused with deer in the headlights glaze.
Moscow Mitch must have gotten another donation from the Russians...
Why do they always have to get personal?
Fool! I pray to God everyday to remove Mitch McConnell & his minions out of office. They don’t belong anywhere in government! Just horrible people! He wouldn’t even allow a vote on a federal minimum wage increase to $15 or election security! Disgusting
She’s very afraid.....
He knows better. Fearful is not a word anyone would use to describe Nancy Pelosi. She is waiting on an honest man in the Senate to present a fair trial. Smart. Strong. Those are Pelosi words. She’s got you Moscow Mitch.
Taunt away. MoscowMitch has got to go. To decrepit for this modern age
The GOP is the party of shitty bullies. I'm so ready to throw them all out. November 2020 can't get here soon enough.
Good thing politicians put Country before party, imagine if each was controlled by different ideologies and nothing got done ever.......
Nancy Pelosi is mocked by the American electorate daily.
Like senatemajldr McConnell was too afraid to confirm Obama's SCOTUS nominee? Like realDonaldTrump was too afraid to send witnesses to the impeachment investigation? Or is it different because, this time, the Senate openly admitted they do not intend to be fair or impartial?
Merrick Garland.
Go ahead, mock the speaker, Grim Reaper.
McConnell is freaking out and Pelosi is schooling him, Lindsey and Trump. Nancy rocks. senatemajldr LindseyGrahamSC realDonaldTrump
He’s just chomping at the bit to get his paws on them to please the occupant....
In a screenplay, this would be the 2nd plot point going into Act 3; the bad guy would have committed to a course of action and the audience would wait to see what the hero will do. The novelty here? The hero(ine) just...hits 'pause', and waits for the bad guys to fall apart.
From a guy who is at 19%. He is the one living in fear
