Just how much does Mitch McConnell despise President Trump and his MAGA movement? While playing coy for weeks about his intentions before finally voting to acquit the president in an impeachment trial more preposterous than last year's farce, he immediately took to the Senate floor to lay the blame for the events of January 6 entirely at the president's feet. McConnell not only accused President Trump of being personally liable for any potential crimes committed that day by others (in effect, teeing up civil lawsuits for monetary damages directly against the president), but also suggested that private citizen Trump could be criminally prosecuted in the future for setting those events in motion by daring to question the results of the 2020 election. It was one more biting betrayal from the Republican machine against a man who has shown the Republican Party much more loyalty than it has ever offered him in return.
Republicans failed to stand for anything:
Senate Republicans' refusal to unanimously stand up for the free speech of a sitting president is inexcusable — especially during a time when Big Tech is engaging in an unprecedented campaign of censorship against ordinary Americans and Democrats are openly advocating for the criminalization of viewpoints with which they disagree. Republicans had a chance to take a united stand for the First Amendment while it remains under sustained attack by those who wish it to be weakened; instead, out of hatred for President Trump or foolish naïveté as to the real threats against free speech in the United States, they failed miserably.
In a kangaroo court so overtly political that even Chief Justice "Obamacare is just a tax" Roberts refused to participate, Patrick Leahy, the Senate's longest serving Democrat, presided over the "trial" as "judge." That was the least of its problems.

Kentucky and McConnell HATE AMERICA.
how much?
Sec Transportation Elaine Chao’s sister, Angela Chao,
is on the board of directors of the Communist Chinese government’s Bank of China
and
Cocaine McConnell and Honeypot Chao pocketed ~$25 million
from her father, James Chao, running the Foremost Group
shipping company with the Chinese government
and
Elaine Chao’s family’s company Foremost Group obtained
10 massive cargo ships from the Communist Chinese
government’s China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC)
and
Elaine Chao’s sister Angela Chao just happens to be on the
board of one of the Communist Chinese government’s largest
military contractor.
McConnell is china dirty and trump would have exposed this and he knows it
If anybody could be liable for damages, it is you Mitch. The Sergeant of Arms of the Senate was warned days before about the need to increase security. You have us to believe he didn't inform you ? The only way he could increase security was if you ordered it - by implication, not increasing security means you ordered him NOT to do it. What did you know Mitch and when did yo know it. I am waiting on the lawsuits that will require you to answer that under oath.
^ thanks, Dio. Turtle soup and bat soup commie smell bad. Sum ting wong. Fortune cookie says so.
Snapping turtle hidden dragon.
GOPee Delenda Est!
Fact checked.
The GOP has had an agenda for thirty years that has been the opposite of MAGA, it is to turn the USA into North Mexico.
They fought President Trump at every turn as he tried to secure the border and restore the rule of law.
They assisted the Democrats in cheating him out of office to keep him from taking over the GOP and saving our country.
The entire purpose of the GOP since 1989 was blocking conservatives from stopping the importation of that permanent Democrat majority that would vote to subsume the USA to the UN and strip US of our sovereignty.
Assistant Democrats is all they are and will ever be.
Caligula made his horse a "senator".
History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.
Wonder how Mrs. McC got in the Trump Cabinet. She also turned on him.
Kentucky is a red state. The vast majority of Kentuckians love their country. Don’t make such absurd, ridiculous statements. Mitch rode in on Trump’s coattails this last election. I think I speak for Kentuckians in condemning McConnell for his traitorous actions.
I warned Trump supporters, but they didn’t believe that McConnell wasn’t an ally.
yes Kentucky gave us the turtle but also Rand Paul. Rand has been a loyal supporter of MAGA.
Who appointed Chao as Transportation Secretary and what was that all about?
Excellent article. The author sees what I see and sez what I’m thinking.
It was also the most direct proof yet that McConnell and Establishment Republicans would rather remain in the minority forever than allow Trump’s pro-American, middle-class, colorblind, cross-party coalition of voters to fortify itself into a permanent governing powerhouse.
I knew that McConnell’s wife Elaine Choi’s family had been involved in the shipping industry, mostly between China and the US, for many years. I did not know before this about their obtaining 10 ships from Chinese shipbuilding companies. I think that the Chaos are from Taiwan.
The sergeants at arms of both the House and the Senate resigned after the break in. So did the chief of the Capitol police. What’s that all about? Pushing the blame off on them instead of where it belongs .... on Nancy and Mitch??? Both parties will be complicit in hiding that information.
Good article.
