The Senate Majority Leader told Fox & Friends that the decision to withhold articles of impeachment from the chamber was 'absurd.'

Mitch McConnell has lashed out at Democrats over the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, calling it a"political exercise."Monday whether opposition senators such as 2020 primary frontrunners Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders would be impartial during a trial of the president, should articles of impeachment be passed onto the chamber.

McConnell's comments came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Democrats were waiting to"see the process that is set forth in the Senate" while not committing to sending the approved articles of impeachment to the chamber. He later said the process he was"advocating" to Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer was"exactly the same way we handled the Clinton impeachment 20 years ago, which he voted for."

😂😂😂😂😂🙄🙄🙄🙄.

Yes! Anyone that thinks the Democrats are impartial needs to have his head examined! It all fake concern on their part to try and sway public opinion.

Is the 'charade' claim unsubstantiated?

He literally said he wasn’t going to be impartial.

senatemajldr The man doth protest too much, methinks. Just hang on tight, SpeakerPelosi has this well in hand.

Moscow mitch is afraid of the truth. Trump is incompetent and McConnell knows it.

The real charade is the slow coup that the GOP has been orchestrating over the last few years.

Demanding honesty is a 'charade', Mitch? Really? Go to Hell, and take your equally morally-bankrupt Cheeto friend with you.

The fix is in. The fear of anything beyond the symbolic impeachment are not going to happen. There will be no removal of this blantantly corrupt president and his regressive administration. Aside from a slight sting to his ego it will advance to the next step

LOCK THEM UP !!!

The only absurdity is McConnell.

Maybe when he stops masquerading as a true leader of the senate, a coequal branch of Government and actually starts performing like one by living up to his oath of office and not an agent of the executive

Are these two under the Mistletoe lol

Pelosi holds the cards now, suck it Moscow Mitch

Moscow Mitch needs life in prison.

Hello, senatemajldr: Quit the charade that Trump shouldn't be removed from office.

Follow the money, right to McConnell’s backyard.

It’s not a charade and judging by his own approval numbers no one cares what he’s “Urging”.

Democrats are crazy! The president elected by the people cannot be arbitrarily impeached by Democrats!

moscowmitch sounding scared! As they should be!

He can’t stand it if he can’t control it.

Unfortunately for senatemajldr his pathetic track record speaks for itself

'impartiality fears'? Wierd editorial on the end there...

Merrick Garland MoscowMitchTraitor

Mitch McConnell GTFOHWTBS

Another tricky stunt.

He openly said he'd coordinate with the defendant. He can sit this one out, along with all the other senators who said similar things.

Impotus

MoscowMitchMcConnell announced his partisan / obstruction of justice plans. The charade is his. ImpeachAndRemoveTrump Vote the Complicit GOP Out Send McConnell packing Support & Vote for AmyMcGrathKY

Says the “impartial” man who stole President Obama’s Supreme Court seat.

senatemajldr

Yeah whatever MoscowMitch, remember Merrick Garland and all those federal judges. We will NEVER forget

Stupid buttery kissass

as he stands next to someone with clown makeup

MoscowMitch IS the charade!

Are those the same “baseless fears” as the ones that Moscow Mitch would steal President Obama’s Supreme Court nomination? We have to take Mitch’s capacity to lie and cheat very seriously.

senatemajldr yetshepersisted

I mean, if you can’t trust senatemajldr , who can you trust?

I can just see the $ signs in Moscow Mitch's eyes.

Projecting.

Uhmmm. MoscowMitchMcTraitor WeGoHigh

Last I checked, Pelosi, House Dems swore an Oath to defend and uphold our Constitution-- not play silly political games to get votes, pwn the POTUS

senatemajldr reacts to perceived challenges by a woman, even worse that realDonaldTrump does. Neither are worthy to suck SpeakerPelosi’s toes, but they might ask to do so if Putin’s money was involved.

Oh! He’s feeling the pressure! Made a huge miscalculation didn’t he? More headlines every day about conservative groups calling for removal.Lindsey is in a dead heat with his challenger. Kentucky hates him. Nancy is playing them.

Well the dumbass said himself that he wouldn’t even pretend to be faif🤦🏻‍♀️

In case anyone's forgotten Taking advice from the Grim Reaper loses U a deserved SCOTUS seat

I'm shocked that McConnell would gaslight. *shocked*

It's starting to work, he 'might' allow witnesses now.

Moscow Mitch is such a hypocrite. He needs to either resign or lose big time in November.

MoscowMitchMcTreason is the one that’s a part of a charade. He is pretending to care about our country. Stop the charade & do your job MoscowMitch & have a real trail. You know as well as most of Americans know the man in the WH is trash & we need to get them out.

It’s not a charade It’s a campaign to distract media from the anointed one, Biden

ВРАНЬЕ ПОГОНЯЕТСЯ ВРАЖЕСКОЙ ПРОПОГАНДОЙ ВРАНЬЕ ЭТО ЧЕСТНЫЕ ВЫВОДЫ ВРАНЬЕ ХОЧЕТ ЗАТКНУТЬ ПРАВДУ ВРАНЬЕ СИЛЬНЕЕ ЗАРАЗЫ ДЕМОКРАТИИ ДЕМОКРАТИЯ ХОЧЕТ ЛЖИ-ПОЭТОМУ ДЕНЬГИ НА ВЕТЕР ЛОЖЬ ОПРАВДЫВАЕТСЯ МАТЕРИАЛЬНО У ЛЖИ ДВА ЛИЦА И ВСЕ БЛЕДНОЛИЦЫЕ ЛОЖЬ ПОХОЖА НА ПРАВДУ-ПРАВДА НА БЫЛЬ

Hold a trial senatemajldr !!! We deserve it. Quit covering for Trump... you’re supposed to represent the people. Resign!

Because everyone should trust Moscow Mitch.

Never, ever, ever take Mich McConnell at his word. Never, ever, ever take Mich McConnell at his word. Never, ever, ever take Mich McConnell at his word. Never, ever, ever take Mich McConnell at his word. Never, ever, ever take Mich McConnell at his word. Never, ever, ever..

His own words indicated it wasn’t going to be an impartial trial. It’s his own damn fault. (Lindsey Graham’s as well).

senatemajldr can we get a wind story from you too?

Deal with it MoscowMitch

I thought he didn’t care

So many things we can say about this...but let’s just evil dogs lie still until the earth calls.

LOL, poor Moscow Mitch, reaping what he has sewn. Merrick Garland.

This from the guy who’s already determined how things will go in cahoots with the defendant. The chutzpah of this man.

senatemajldr is the one who is playing a charade over impeachment. Pathetic!

Mitch doesn’t want his ties to Russian mob oligarch money to be exposed. He is simply protecting himself because he know trump will throw him under the bus

Pelosi & Dems must not believe anything McConnell says about witnesses. MoscowMitch is a proven liar. Remember McConnell's statement that he would confirm a trump SCOTUS nominee in 2020 after his refusal to even give Merrick Garland a hearing in 2016.

Agree to allow witnesses as is done with all American trials.

It sure riles you, though, doesn’t it Mitchy.

Merrick Garland...

And we the people URGE senatemajldr to quit obstructing justice!! MoscowMitch PutinsGOP

McConnell is not just. If he fails to do what's right, history will bring it to light. McConnell once respected and held with high esteem, is now fallen under truth scrutiny for his mutiny aligned with Donald against our Constitution. If you play it as a game you will b shamed.

Moscow Mitch there is no charade on the side of the Dems. The curtains been pushed to side, we can see the face of GOP liars and the impresident liar. Time to do it right and let the gavel fall.

Mitch McConnell urges Democrats to 'quit the abeyance' over his impeachment dismissal plans

MitchMcConnell what's absurd is that you assume we are a bunch of backwoods tadpoles. For months your attack dog- L. Graham- has accused the Congressional process of being a 'kangaroo court' when we know it's the Senate- and Senators like yourself that carry the 'pouch'.

This country needs to change its rules regarding these welfare queens in congress. ISIS = GOP

When Moscow Mitch is screaming, you know the Dems are doing something right.

'Senate Republican trolls all MSM by saying things he knows they will all repeat to the masses'.

This is rich coming from Moscow Mitch.

MitchMcConnell what's 'absurd' is that the good people of Kentucky have allowed a corrupt & self-serving hack to represent his personal interests in the Senate. What has Kentucky gotten in return? 10 of the most destitute counties in America are in Kentucky -and he doesn't care.

About time!

This coming from the self proclaimed biased juror

McConnell says he's not ruling out witnesses in impeachment trialSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he is not ruling out witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but indicated he was in no hurry to seek new testimony either.

They must be set by the Chief Justice & witnesses can be requested by both parties at pre-trial hearings. Then let witnesses testify.
