In a remarkable speech from the Senate floor, Senate Majority Leader Mitch castigated his fellow Republicans who challenged Arizona's election results, arguing they were subverting the Constitution by attempting to overturn the election results.
"I've served 36 years in the Senate. This will be the most important vote I've ever cast," McConnell said. "The voters, the courts and the states have all spoken. They've all spoken. If we overrule them, it will damage our republic forever."

McConnell, who had urged his members not to challenge to the results, addressed senators as they gaveled in to debate the objection. He noted that the election was "not unusually close," as Mr. Biden defeated Mr. Trump with 306 electoral votes.
"If this election was overturned by allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral," McConnell said, predicting that every election would become a free-for-all in which the loser would try to overturn the will of the voters.
"Self-government, my colleagues, requires a shared commitment to the truth. And a shared respect for the ground rules of our system. We cannot keep drifting apart into two separate tribes with a separate set of facts and separate realities," he continued.

Not a problem when Sore-Loserman did it, though.
30yrs too long.
The uniparty has spoken. Election rigging by and for the uniparty is Constitutional, somehow, must be next to the abortion language.
I no longer have “a shared commitment to truth” with the liars whom Mitch defends.
Wow. Don’t know what to say. “Clueless bastard” comes close.
The truth is that he used Trump and stabbed him in the back like the rest. A big fat traitor. Almost as bad or worse than pelosi. At least pelosi is a straight up biotch. Nothing sneaky about it.
Suddenly mcconnell is a msm darling. It amazes me how the media and dems play these fools.
Check from CCP clearing in 3...2...1...
Your work here is finished, Mr. McConnell. Thank you.
Dear voters of Kentucky (whether or not you’re democrat voters),
You have my permission and support to use fraud and cheating to defeat McConnell in the next election. You will not hear any argument or criticism from me on that
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Someone who has always hated McConnell
Sealing the Steal for The Gang
He was part of it
They used Fed assets to do it, just like the Russia hoax
Ditch is getting paid how much by Xi for his comedic efforts?
Run brave Mitch, run!
For today we fought at Arqes, and you ran like a big chicken.
Face it, we have no representatives in that cesspool called the District of Corruption, only adversaries and outright enemies.
Remember when I tried to tell folks that Mitch was not on
our side?
I got a reasoned amount of guff for my thoughts.
Anyone wish to apologize now? LOL
Trump was absolutely right when he said,”They're not only coming for me, but for you”. Paraphrase.
This is an attempt by the uni-party to destroy any and all credibility of conservatism in this country. They're all pissed off we elected Trump as our vehicle for change in the first place and they'll work overtime to destroy conservatism from hear on out.
Sad to say...Trump was the last American patriot to serve our nation in the highest office.
Hang that sonofabitch!
Ditch’s most recent election needs to be deeply investigated for fraud.
Asswipe traitor!
He doesn’t realize what the CCP does to pawns that are no longer useful.
Fu@k him and his party. Rumor has it he was a closet homosexual and got kicked out of the Army after six weeks. Allegedly for poor eyesight. The officer interviewed about it years later said yeah, he couldn’t tell a man from a woman.
