It’s no surprise that the corporate media are defending Liz Cheney in her campaign to help Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hurt Republicans, but why is Mitch McConnell, the leader of Senate Republicans, joining them in their efforts?

Mitch McConnell is supporting an insurrection that intends to prevent duly elected citizens from holding office.

Cawthorn, Trump... there will be others.

Mitch McConnell acts like someone with no fear of honest elections.

Assistant Democrats assist the Democrats, it’s what they do.

This infuriates me. It is turning into a leftie trope, like the “fine people” trope. And these GOP-e clowns get microphones stuck in theior faces and they have to virtur signal.

If news comes out the dems don’y like, thay all object together like a greek chorus. Why can’t the pubs get their messaging straight on this?

They are truly the Stupid Party.

McConnell not questioning the legitimacy of the committee, which has not a single Republican-appointed member, is insane and inexplicable.

How can the writer understand what motivates Cheney to act against her own party but not understand what motivates McConnell?

He hates Trump and his supporters because they threaten his family business, which by using his political office has made he and his wife very wealthy.

It always comes down to money. Only money could explain the insane antipathy these grifters have towards Trump.

“but why is Mitch McConnell, the leader of Senate Republicans, joining them in their efforts?”

I don’t get that. I understand most of what Mitch does makes some sense. He’s stuck with a Romper Room of out of control egos and huge political differences, so he’d rather take the arrows than let the media have a field day with it...and that strategy does actually help us (compared to the alternative - open warfare).

But why bother angering the voters who are responsible for, literally, EVERY Republican in the Senate - they weren’t put there by ‘moderates’ or ‘independents’ or certainly not Democrats, they were put there by the same people he’s angering.

...and then you have Cruz saying the same, so go figure that one out.

McConnell has his own agenda. It is all about Mitch, his power, and his money.

The current action by McConnell and the Rinos during the Trump administration is why I dropped my Republican membership. These Republicans are and have been unwilling to fight like it matters. This is a culture war, not a pillow fight.
