The gaslighting isn't just coming from the media or the left. The Republican Establishment is trying to destroy the President's legacy and divide the nation.
Failed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, on his final day leading the upper chamber, chose to use his time to make a statement about the Capitol riots that will upset Trump-supporters and further divide the nation.
“The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said, referring to the Capitol riots on January 6th. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”

This is a lie that has been propagated by mainstream media and pushed by Democrats. Even the Christian Broadcasting Network used a doctored video that supported McConnell’s narrative until NOQ Report pointed out their deception/error. This duplicity from Republican Establishment leadership must not be swept under the rug.
According to Wayne Dupree:
They’re biting off the hand that has been feeding them, and for some reason, they just don’t care. As a matter of fact, the GOP is now double and tripling down on chewing off the hands of every MAGA patriot.
And trust me — McConnell’s latest move will be the final nail in the GOP political coffin. He’s now publicly blaming President Trump for the incident at the Capitol and claims that Trump “provoked” it all.
This all seems to confirm what has been assumed for a week, that McConnell will be among Republican Senators who vote to impeach President Trump when the article of impeachment is brought to the Senate. Reactions from conservatives on Twitter were swift and harsh:
Do you hear me now about the Republican Party?

McConnell just took the mic on the Senate floor to blame Trump for the storming of the Capitol:
"The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people…"

Mitch McConnell's shameful attack on our president should disqualify him from leading Senate Republicans.

As Mitch McConnell tries to destroy President Trump’s legacy, he’s solidifying his own legacy of failure, deceit, and commitment to The Swamp. He and anyone in the GOP who supports him must be removed.
Hope your wife liked that cushy job for the past 4 years Mitch. Some gratitude.
Eff you, B*tch McTraitor! The best day of my life will be when I watch you swing for my lamp post
There is a special place in Hell for people like that.

sorry. Anger got in the way
My Kentucky born-and-raised dad would have been SO ashamed of McConnell.
Muck you Fitch.
Didn’t the Republican party use to be one of the top two parties in the US? To bad these halfwits don’t realize this is less about Trump and more about the future of our republic.
Forget it Dumbass Mitch!! We ain’t voting for any more mealy mouthed John McCain George Bush sissy Republicans!!! You need to retire with your CCP wife and enjoy the fruits of your treachery!!
For his and his families’ own safety, Mitch needs to stop chanting that popular lie that Trump called these people to wage violence on the capitol. Not me, but he’s making a lot of MAGA’s upset every time he does this.
The Democrats are not going to protect you from any comeuppance or confrontation, Mitch. They are Fair Weather Friends at best. They are Nancy’s pit bulls, not yours.
They are broadening the meaning of the word, “provoke”. It used to be that you could show your displeasure with elected officials verbally all you wanted as long as you didn’t directly advocate violence, as in, “we need to shoot these people”. But now, simply saying something like, “They are stealing this election and you need to let them know you’re on to them”. suddently becomes inciting violence.
But it is protected free speech.
Mitch is doing all he can to ensure that he spends the next 6 years in the minority.
[[“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor.]]
McConnel is feeding the people lies- He’s projecting, just like liberals do
The check must have cleared.
Watching it as if it is a poker game, is that Mitch showing his hand? Or going for another card?
“pro-life” McConnell ...Has he ever condemned dems for murdering babies especially black and poor ones???? Maybe mitchie is only pro-life for white people of his own kind?????
Hope your wife liked that cushy job for the past 4 years Mitch. Some gratitude.
Sand Pebbles
Never liked, and never trusted McConnell, in spite of all the posts here saying he was a clever parliamentarian.
A dirty swamp creature is all I see.
Remember how they lied to you about wanting a big tent when in reality they only wanted a small Country Club.
Typical. Take take take and then stab you in the back.
