Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell broke with former President Trump on Tuesday, saying that he does not believe individuals who pleaded guilty to crimes related to last year’s violent Capitol Hill protest should have their sentences shortened.
"One hundred and sixty-five people have pleaded guilty to criminal behavior," the Kentucky Republican said when asked about Trump’s recent suggestion that he would issue pardons for the Capitol Hill rioters if he were re-elected as president. "None of the trials have been finished yet, but 165 have pleaded guilty to criminal behavior. My view is, I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences for any of the people who pleaded guilty to crimes."

I was just sure he would run out and agree with Trump 🤪
What sentences? They are being held without trial.
What a putz.
Exactly. More proof that McConnell is a RINO and cannot be trusted.
I despise this man. He is as bad as Pelosi and Biden. He is evil and selfish.
shorten their sentences? my goodness, these patriots can’t even get to trial.
A verdict first would be nice, but apparently not necessary. I didn’t expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition.

Remember the Bastille!
Mitch McConnell will block the House members from impeaching Biden. Don’t believe them saying they’ll impeach Biden and investigate Hunter.
Mitch should be accused of trespassing and then rot in prison for a year awaiting trial.
Well, it’s not like Mitch is an American. Aren’t you considered Chinese after you are on their payroll?

First off, he’s nothing but useless UniParty hack...always has been, always will be. How many times has this turd pulled DNC defeat from the jaws of victory.
But with this statement, he probably just put a gun to his own head and blew his brains out...politically speaking, of course.
As posted above, there is NO sentence because they’ve been denied court, denied bail, denied legal council. This clown is a real piece of work.
One can only imagine the prosecutorial persecution, threats and overcharging happening in conjunction with prolonged horrific imprisonment in DC’s Abu Ghraib that is ongoing. This is not justice.
McConnell is an asshole or knows how to do a real good job of acting like one.
Mitch: Biden’s b!tch.
What a POS.
“Team Mitch” needs to go where he belongs, Hades. Hey GOP, #NotOneRedCent. Don’t call me or text me, you will NOT like what you hear back.
Swamp turtle SOB!
Hey Mitch you traitorous bitch, do us a favor and die in a grease fire!
