MCCONNELL SUGGESTS TRUMP LIED, CLAIMS HE NEVER SPOKE TO PRESIDENT ABOUT UKRAINE CALL
Newsweek ^ | Oct 22 2019 | Jason Lemon

Posted on 10/22/2019 1:54:29 PM PDT by rintintin

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested on Tuesday that President Donald Trump had lied about a conversation between them regarding the president's controversial call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Nancy Cordes, the chief congressional correspondent for CBS News, reported on Tuesday that she had pressed McConnell over Trump's assertion that the Republican from Kentucky had told him that his call with Ukraine's president was "perfect" and "innocent." McConnell responded to Cordes by claiming he had never spoken with Trump about the call.

When the journalist asked McConnell if that meant Trump had lied, the Republican lawmaker responded: "You'd have to ask him."

This is Newsweek. Pull the ads from the print version, and you’re left with nothing more than a Moonie pamphlet.

Actually, if you read the original statement from President Trump on this particular point, he never said McConnell told him anything directly.

"I am 100 percent confident you voted for McCain and Romney for president and defended them against all attacks."

Oh, yeah. You nailed me. I was 100% for Willard and defended him against all attacks.

Forgot to ping you to this one (#14/#67), Elsie. I just got exposed as a Willardbot and a McQueegbot, too. Rintintin is 100% confident of that.

Yes. Cohesiveness is very important for the 2020 election. Our human rights will depend on it.

Lots of bipolar postings lately. One day we’re debating whether Trump will win 40 or 45 states, and a few short days later it’s about his total abandonment and removal from office. Someone mentioned meds...chill pills work.

I don’t trust Mitch. He is up for re-election. I think he knew at the time the Senate Intelligence Committee was up to their eyeballs in the Russian hoax and may have been involved. I think Mitch is panicking and doing stupid stuff as a result. I don’t think there is a good option for him as he sees it. There may even be an orange jump suit in his future.

Partner, his last name is McConJob and this guy should just retire. His last name McConJob should tell ya everything.

BTW, his net worth is over a cool $30 Million dollars and not bad for a politician who has never had a real job.

Partner, sorry about my post since I did not read it was from Newsweak and they are "A Bunch of Sixth Grade Brain MSM'"

The MSM gave the talking points to the DemonRat party and it is Lie, Lie, Lie all the time to the MSM and in front of cameras.

If they do, we should storm DC. Seriously. It is not a legal process, it is a coup and we all know it.

Who got to him? Someone who got ahold if his reputed Army MP arrest record for sodomy? the story has floated around for years that as a former aide to a Senator, he was basically medically discharged. No proof, and Mitch won’t release his military record.

Who knows? But he sure dances to the tune...

"I don’t think the fisa investigation or barr/durham investigations are going to produce anything. In fact it’s possible that barr/durham may even come out with damaging accusations against Trump. I’ve seen no indication one way or the other. It’s my opinion that if Trump is removed the dems will run the table. Who is going to go out and vote for a republican after they remove Trump? I can’t see a scenario where Trumps has any support in DC."

It is amazing that people who dislike alt right sources such as Q or Alex Jones due to their inaccuracies will go into panic mode when some MSM source puts out disinformation on a GOP politician, RINO or not.
