Swamp Rat Mitch McConnell Said He Was “Exhilarated” on Jan 6 that President Trump “Had Finally Tarnished His Reputation”

The one question that all politicians running for US Senate should be asked is – whether they stand with President Trump or Mitch McConnell.

Mitch McConnell has shown his true colors. They’re not pretty.

..... Snip......

In a new book McConnell’s actions on Jan 6 were uncovered.

In the hours after supporters of Donald Trump laid siege to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, House Republican Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly said he was “exhilarated” that the then-president had finally tarnished his reputation.

“I feel exhilarated by the fact that this fellow finally, totally discredited himself,” McConnell told Jonathan Martin, a New York Times reporter who detailed the exchange in a new book, “This Will Not Pass.” Excerpts of the book were obtained and reported on by The Washington Post on Monday.

“He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger,” the Kentucky Republican reportedly told Martin at the U.S. Capitol in the early hours of Jan. 7. “Couldn’t have happened at a better time.”

He also asked the political correspondent for intelligence on whether the Cabinet and vice president might considering removing Trump from office using provisions of the 25th Amendment, according to the book.

McConnell then reportedly told Martin he had spoken to Democratic leaders, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), about releasing a joint statement telling Trump not to attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

McConnell wanted Hillary and Biden to win. Can you blame Trump for not meeting with Mitch?

“We keep re-electing them”.

And why is that?

Unfortunately for McConnell, the only one between he and Trump with a tarnished reputation is McConnell. Jan 6, the non-insurrection, did not tarnish Trump with his followers who can and do think for themselves

You’re correct. Also I’d like to say that it shouldn’t be called the January 6 insurrection. It should be called the January 6 entrapment!

And such stuff like this is readily believed why??

Remember the lies told about Gaetz and DeSantis to drive a wedge twixt them and DJTrump? This could simply be another.

Not that I like or trust McD. But, this sounds like disinfo.

What a surprise! /s

This was easily foretold by his actions to obstruct the MAGA concept during 2017...

I’d vote for giving Mitch a two-Russian-umbrella award ASAP...

Except that Trump didn’t tarnish his reputation.

Mitch only wishes he had.

Mitch’s bitch wife took a job with Trump. Seems she tarnished her reputation, the whore.

If the GOP does not get rid of McConnell it will go the way the Whig Party. It shall be no more.
..........................................
Trump could have and should have made that happen immediately after 1/6. Countless supporters begged him to get out of the RINO cesspool and establish a TRUE second party for his millions of constituents. He refused to do so and we have suffered the consequences ever since. McConnell is just one filthy Republican pig among hundreds in the polluted D.C. swamp.

We can get rid of them now by voting them out.
...............................................
That is exactly what we cannot do. If we could we would not be plagued with useless trash like Biden for 30 or 40 years. How much are you being paid to represent the swamp rats?

AMEN! Many of then have become indoctrinated against American values as enshrined in our Constitution and are a clear and present danger to those whose interests they pretend to represent.

I agree that your Senator, Graham, sucks. He must own the Republican Party in your state.

I don’t want to see the US Constitution mutilated by the Democrats just to save your bacon, though. That’s what it would take to change the way Senators are selected.

My Senators both suck, too. I hope they can be primaried.

LOL! I live in Maryland. Our Senators are somewhere between useless and dangerous, but neither is anywhere near as despicably two-faced as Linda Graham! Most people, Marylanders included, are surprised to learn that the majority of counties vote Republican. Unfortunately those which are most populated are close to D.C. Baltimore, and Annapolis all of which are dominated by welfare recipients and Socialist-leaning Democrats.

I pray everyday that God holds McConnell number one accountable for the sorry state our nation with Biden.
