McConnell crows on Senate floor that Pelosi's impeachment 'gambit' produced 'absolutely nothing'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday tore into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., just days after the speaker backed down from her refusal to send the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate, calling Pelosi’s delay a “strange gambit” that “produced absolutely nothing.”

During a speech on the Senate floor, McConnell chastised Pelosi for ending what he called “her one-woman blockade” and questioned her strategy for holding off sending the articles to the Senate.

The House in December voted to impeach Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for matters relating to his controversial July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the subsequent House inquiry.

Pelosi had held up sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate, citing concerns about McConnell’s objectivity and the lack of ability to call witnesses to testify in the trial in hopes of winning concessions from Republicans. But McConnell refused to give in.

Duly noted. Fox News is just another propaganda tool of the Left.

I have wondered if she delayed so that it would tarnish the state of the union message and/or to delay the USMCA passage so he couldn’t brag about it at the state of the union message. If that is the case, he should tell her he won’t speak until after the trial, and make a big deal about it.

You go, Cocaine Mitch, The Murder Turtle!!!!! Kick that nasty old hag’s saggy @ss!!!

WHEEEE!!!!!

Can the President have the Justice Department charge the Speaker with making false charges ? What is the penalty for this ? If not, then the President must use the military and arrest Pelosi. We cannot live with her as speaker.

Perhaps she has delayed so that Trump will be tarnished when he gave the State of the Union Message, and also delayed so he couldn’t brag about the USMCA passage. If true, he should inform her he will speak after the trial.

Pelosi also warned Sunday that senators will “pay a price” if they block new witness testimony with a trial that Americans perceive as a “cover-up” for Trump's actions. Americans perceive that you're a senile drunk.

Partner, Pelousy is the worst Speaker evah!!!!!

First of all, every word that comes out of her mouth is a big lie!!!

Also, the Constitution will not permit a Speaker on how to conduct the trial. It was a Sham Trial from the start as expected from the "Shiff for Brains" who took it upon himself to be the Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Huge Problem for Pelousy. In fact, most folks will not vote for her as the Speaker.

You are so correct in calling her a drunk.

Pelousy will keep the current record of the worst Speakers of the House since our country was founded. 20 long years of suffering from these lousy drunk Speakers.

The DemonRat party likes to lie thru their teeth all the time is my only guess as to why they are bringing charges against President Trump.

The Socialists DemonRat party will be the minority party after the next election.

More gum flapping from the do-nothing GOP Senate. Color me not impressed.

Great picture! Truly great!

Hatred is pouring out of every pore on her body.
It is so sad to see how hatred can destroy a soul.
Of course this observation includes the fact that Nancy is fully on board with the dismemberment of little babies up to and including birth. Hatred has evil consequences.

[TakebackGOP]

Big deal, he said it didn’t accomplish anything.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you? You are NEVER fu*king happy or hopeful about anything! No matter what happens, you find the negative!

You are as bad as a NeverTrumper!

Wasn’t that cnut supposed to transmit the articles to impeachment today?

Seriously, I’ll just quote POTUS and leave it at that: “When are Republicans going to start fighting back?”

altered images of Schumer and Pelosi loving Iran

I think Schumer looks like the mechanical carnival booth fortune tellers (in Tom Hanks movie Big, maybe (can’t remember what it looked like) or insurance ad.

Pelosi looks a little like Katherine Hepburn for some reason. Thank her team of cosmetic surgeons and Botox technicians.

Maybe it’s just me. Impeachment has been driving me crazy so my judgment may be off.

Do Dems ever crow?

And I see in myself
All the wonderful things that I see
If I’m pleased with myself
I have ev’ry good reason to be.
I’ve gotta crow!
I’m just the cleverest fellow
‘Twas ever my fortune to know;
I taught a trick to my shadow
To stick to the tip of my toe
I’ve gotta crow!

Wasn’t that cnut supposed to transmit the articles to impeachment today?

There were drunken mumblings from the see-nut about sometime this week.

Four days left for Granny Wine Box.
