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.

I recall McConnell saying this, but was it just once and the media has been echoing and regurgitating the story over and over for the last seven days, or has McConnell actually been repeating it?

I need MITT to RESIGN!!! NOW...
He’s been around too long. Primary him, and also run a Patriot Party candidate against him and whomever the Dems put forward.
That is a great post. Should be its own thread.
The above is spot on and exactly why “Team Mitch” needs to be sent to the showers today.
Yeah baby!
What trial? Trump is a civilian now.
Nelson Co GOP doing this is, interesting.
Jefferson Co GOP with the same censure would be, compelling.
Also lol at The MSM forced to report a pro-Trump article in the guise of an anti-Miotch article...
Sorry Mitch but the Washington Post article disagrees with you. They say the assault on the Capitol building was planned by rioters several weeks in advance.
I agree
Trump’s presidency was an eyeopener. He exposed so much and changed so much. He also broke McConnell. McConnell thought Trump was a lame duck. Was he ever wrong.
Actually, Rush reported on Schweitzer’s news that McConnell and Chao are tied to Communist China.
It got me wondering, has Elaine Chao been a honeypot like Swalwell’s gal was? I mean look at McConnell. I’m surprised that guy has a wife.
It’s like a bad deed going on your permanent record in grade school. It’s a nothing burger.
There won't be a Republican Party if it fails in this.
President Trump has already said he might form a Patriot Party, and if he does then instead of changing from (R) to (I) like so many of us are doing, we'll change it to (P).
The RINOs have it backwards. They need us, but they hate us. We hate them, sure, but we don't need them. Not at all.
“Mitch McConnell must be losing his marbles”
they seem to be in his mouth
The 18th should be repealed.
Hell, so should the 19th for that matter.

Don’t just censure Mitch the Turtle, the State needs to recall him ASAP
Election stolen, blaming trump for riots...the people are pissed.
