Nelson Co. GOP leaders censure Senator Mitch McConnell after floor speech saying Capitol riot was 'provoked' by Trump
WHAS 11 News ^ | January 20, 2021 | Tyler Emery

McConnell's speech prompted Nelson County GOP leaders to hold an emergency meeting, voting unanimously to issue a resolution censuring the senate majority leader for his comments.

"This has shown his true colors," Nelson Co. GOP Chairman Don Thrasher said. "We felt today during his floor speech on the senate where he impugned the character of President Trump was unacceptable to us. His whole behavior overall through this whole process of the last week is not consistent with what he promised us when he was running for re-election."

McConnell hasn't said how he will vote in the second impeachment trial of President Trump, but has said it's a "vote of conscience" and will be based on facts. But in light of the impending impeachment trial in the Senate, Thrasher has also proposed a resolution calling on McConnell to vote to acquit Trump.

"Basically calling for Senator McConnell to support President Trump and denounce the second impeachment as divisive," Thrasher said. 

"I have at least 50 other chairs and vice chairs that have signed on for our resolution," Thrasher said. "this is a deal-breaker for a lot of Republicans."

Kentucky's GOP central committee will meet for a specially-called meeting Sat. Jan 23 to discuss and vote on the resolution, introduced by Thrasher. There are over 300 members, which included county GOP chairs and vice chairs, as well as all Republican elected state officials.

we put up with that two faced bawling disaster Boehner for years, and they kept re-electing him. We finally got rid of him and wound up with Paul Ryan, no damn better. Now they are led by Keven McCarthy-——Boehner’s hand picked successor. Yay.

Oh I hear ya I’m a huge term limit believer but McConnell lives in a deep red state and from what I understand that speech the other day has people back there just a small bit angry to the point where people are leaving the GOP by the truckload

Thank you. I wouldn’t have been remotely as kind and patient as President Trump has in firing or closing entire governmental departments. The Federal Government has become the enemy of America and her people. The length to which evil people have gone to protect, preserve and proliferate its power and malignant cancer expansion is mind-boggling.

Afraid not. Here in KY we’ve not only got a U.S. senator we don’t want we’ve also got a tyrannical dem governor we’d like to get rid of. I don’t think the overwhelming repub general assembly will have the will to impeach the governor who deserves it.

Thanks for the example. Every Patriot should make multiple efforts like this to re-establish our place in the control of our country.

Maybe.

Never used to think so, but considering his cash value to the Donor class...

Also consider his reluctance to get into investigating vote fraud in ‘16, ‘18 and ‘20.

“Senate Minority Leader and lying RINO Trump-hater Mitch McConnell wants
nothing more than to move the party away from Donald Trump.
His actions since winning his own reelection
—notably with President Trump’s help—
have revealed his true standing among the NeverTrump crowd.
But of all the despicable things he’s done since election night,
fundraising for his PAC using Donald Trump’s name may be the worst.

NEVER TRUST THE GOP

BUT THERE IS MORE!!!”

pdf file showing the GOP stole those $25 BILLION donations [in Pres. Trumps name]
from voters ….. and SECRETLY gave it to Biden.
Major theft ONLY politicians can get away with.


CSV files are here
