WASHINGTON — Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is criticizing the Republican National Committee for censuring two House GOP lawmakers investigating the “violent insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, saying it’s not the party’s job to police the views of lawmakers. As former President Donald Trump has downplayed the attack by his supporters last year — the worst attack against the Capitol in two centuries — the RNC last week took a voice vote to approve censuring Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois at the party’s winter meeting in Salt Lake City. The two Republicans sit on a Democrat-led House committee that is aggressively investigating the siege and has subpoenaed many in the former president’s inner circle. *** “It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next,” McConnell said Tuesday. He said he still has confidence in RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, but “the issue is whether or not the RNC should be sort of singling out members of our party who may have different views than the majority. That’s not the job of the RNC.” ***

To Mitch and his fellow travelers:
Afghanistan: This is what a violent insurrection looks like.

One thing that Trump clearly did was to rip away the mask of the deep state. He revealed every one of them and they will never get away with the way they abused their office. And they hate him . . .

If it was an insurrection, it surely was a lame-ass insurrection. No guns or knives. Not even pitchforks or torches. They even stayed behind the velvet ropes. Did they learn nothing from the BLM and Antifa riots?

The first “insurrection” in history that was unarmed, no casualties, nothing burned, had no leader, and the terrorists cleaned up before they left.

Mitch McConnell and his team of UniParty leaders made a strong statement today against anyone who would ever have the audacity to stand in opposition to the upper elite within the United States government. The timing of McConnell to align with Joe Biden is not coincidental.
First, to the status of the January 6th protestors, DeceptiCon party leader Mitch McConnel affirms the united DC position that all J6 protestors were violent domestic terrorists, carrying out an insurrection attempt, intent on destroying the carefully constructed democracy the DC elites are providing to the people.
Stunningly, the second point was McConnell admonishing the RNC for rejecting Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger as members of the Republican Party platform. McConnell now states the Republican Party should have no input in determining who is supported by the Republican membership.
WATCH:
McConnell’s first point about the J6 group only highlights the UniParty alignment with the larger DC interests. The system of government in the United States, as controlled by political leadership, will not permit any challenge.
Whether it be Democrat Joe Biden, using the executive branch DHS to target dissident voices as terrorists, or whether it be Republican Mitch McConnell, labeling J6 attendees as terrorists, the absolute intent is the same. DC are the rulers and everyone else is in a position to be ruled.

On the second point of McConnell calling out the RNC for acting against his interests, perhaps the MAGA movement influence in the RNC is more significant than it appears on the surface.
McConnell’s statement would seemingly infer he feels the RNC is less attached to the power structure in DC than he would like.
Previously, Mitch McConnell used the RNC to do exactly what he is now accusing them of doing – providing authentication for the ‘right kind’ of Republican that would be supported. Now, with the RNC perhaps less aligned with the interests of his totalitarian DC system, McConnell is not pleased to see them involved in candidate authentication and approval.
Last point. For well over a decade, CTH has been pointing out the danger of Mitch McConnell as the traitor inside the gates of the Republic seeking to destroy it for his own personal gain, politics and power. WE on this site have been standing as a flea looking into the furnace of political hatred for sounding the alarms about McConnell for the entire time of our ‘last refuge’ assembly.
Today, February 8, 2022, almost twelve years to the day when we first gathered to discuss this seemingly insurmountable task of taking on the system that Mitch McConnell represents, there are now multi-millions of people awake to what we have discussed for so many years.
For the fellowship of the tens-of-millions newly wide-eyed and awake patriots, I am very thankful.
Today is a good day.
The tide is in our favor.
Let us make haste toward the goal of removing Mitch McConnell, and pledge to one another that not another coat of distracting paint will be applied to this corrupted DC vessel until we have taken it down to bare metal.
