In the hours after the January 6 Capitol riot, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell ripped into President Donald Trump and vowed to take down far-right candidates who ran in the 2022 midterms, according to a forthcoming book by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin.
As the Kentucky Republican was preparing to leave the Capitol in the early morning of January 7, 2021, he pulled Martin aside and spoke briefly about his intentions to quash Trump's influence within the GOP.
"He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger," McConnell said of Trump's role on January 6. "Couldn't have happened at a better time."
McConnell then referenced the 2014 midterms and his party's success in pushing back on extremist far-right candidates and winning back the Senate majority.
"We crushed the sons of bitches," McConnell said, "and that's what we're going to do in the primary in '22."

Okaaaaay....
That’s the most fight I’ve ever seen from this turd. Wish he had as much piss and vinegar for his fellow slimeballs in the swamp 🤪
Y’know, one could look at the facts and see Mitch’s January 6 as his Tiananmen Square.......
The house organ of the DNC announces its repertoire for the midterm season….
What the hell is “far right”? We are not Europe…there’s “far left/big government, limited government or anarchists”. He’s using the wrong terminology! We want to limit government and hold it accountable…ironically, that is the oath they took and what the founders call is our duty.
McConnell has always hated conservatives. He is a country-club Republican that is as corrupt as Biden, using his wife and friends to enrich himself.
McConnell is the poster child for term limits.
He has LOTS of fight, when his power is threatened.
RINOs have a corrupt deal with Democrats: give us a share of the graft, and we will not oppose you in anything important to you.
Ditch is personally responsible for today’s Inflation.
McCarthy and McConnell should not be allowed to be leaders in 2023.
but judges!
OUT Mr. Chinese, OUT!!
Far right? Could that mean:
1.5% inflation rate?
Unemployment rate at 3.5%?
Major cities bustling with activity?
Gas at $1.89 a gallon?
Milk at $1.99 a gallon?
The United States being an energy exporter?
Iran’s nuclear program shut down?
Powerful nations not invading or threatening smaller neighbors?
Store shelves stocked with everything we may need?
A southern border sealed tight?
Crime rate half what it is today?
Am I getting warm?
We all saw what McConnell did to Trump legislatively in 2016. McConnell is a snake that needs to go.
Careful what you wish for, Cocaine Mitch.
After the midterms I hope he picks up his toys and goes home. But he won’t he will suck up and change positions. He will say he didn’t see the evidence of Jan 6 at the time he said it. He will flip flop.
It is WAY PAST TIME to take “Team Mitch” OUT.
“Far Right” is...
From the perspective of a leftwing communist/NAZI socialist, a Constitutional patriot is “far right”.
Parasites like Mitch McConnell are the reason I have no faith in the GOP after they win in the midterms.
We’re gonna crush you RINOs Turtle. You have clearly lost the power struggle. We are taking over from you RINOs. Just retire with your millions in Chinese money.
