Report: Mitch McConnell Said He’s ‘Done’ With ‘Crazy’ Trump Over Capitol Riot
thepoliticalinsider.com ^ | RUSTY WEISS

Posted on 09/23/2022 9:11:41 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Senator Mitch McConnell was considering a vote to convict Donald Trump in the impeachment trial over his alleged role in the Capitol riot and said he was “done with” the “crazy” former President over the incident.

The revelations surfaced in excerpts published from the upcoming book, Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump, written by Politico’s Rachael Bade and the Washington Post’s Karoun Demirjian.

Explaining that the vote to convict Trump would represent “one of the most pivotal votes of his career,” the authors indicated McConnell (R-KY) was all but certain the GOP would purge themselves of the then-President.

“But while McConnell was ready to be done with Trump, his party, it seemed, was not,” they wrote.

The book excerpts provided by the Washington Post quickly put Mitch McConnell in AOC or Adam Kinzinger territory with his melodramatic reaction to the events of January 6.

They describe him as “stunned” at what “marauders” had done at the Capitol and illustrate a man “overcome with emotion at the trauma [his aides] experienced.”

Cheney will still be hunting witches when she’s 80 years old. This J6 BS is the biggest thing that ever happened to her.

Mitch is an ultimate Establishment man. At some point, he was going to have to stop the pretense and start trying to kill Trump.

That said, this may not be it. This story, like most news, may be complete BS.

He was done with Trump before he was elected.

What a worthless piece of human trash.

Bitch is the king of squander. Ryan was the queen.

He was never with Trump. He sabotaged his presidency from Day One.

Mitch McConnell, the man that sold his soul for the world....

POTUS Trump gave him a chance at redemption through managing judges and justices but he also expected “Mitchy the Kid” to stand and be counted as a Statesman on behalf of the Republic and the American People. Too bad he had already sold out the country to the Chicoms .....

Mitch will always be enshrined as an enemy of the Republic and it’s people.

WWG1WGA!

The fix must be in. He must know he'll be Senate Minority again in 2023.

Yes, sadly. If he had pitched in and helped Trump turn this
nation around, it’s unfathomable how much better it could
have been.

Instead we’re seeing it taken down bit by bit.

Nice work Mitch. /s

One really unpleasant thing to think about is that should the GOP take the Senate in November, McConnell will probably become majority leader again.

Then it’s back to the same old elitist and globalist nonsense again, with no pushback against spending or the radical Democrats.

The GOP would do well to pick Rand Paul instead.

How do we get rid of a carbuncle who apparently won’t ever leave the senate?

Yep, I agree. It was totally "crazy" to vote for President Trump:

Are all the desperate Democrats/RINOs seriously trying to change the dictionary definition of crazy right now? (Alert Webster's!)

Securing our border
Addressing the problems with propagandized education
Addressing the problems with hyper sexualized education
Addressing the movement to destroy our nation
So much more...

Mitch still doesn’t grasp how badly he screwed over our
nation while he and Ryan decided it was best to screw Trump
and teach him a lesson.

Honestly, McCain was bad but these two just screwed this
nation into the dirt.

Mitch baby! Not to worry. We're pretty much done with you to.
