WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell thanked police officers Thursday for “saving our country” by defending Congress from a mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters on Jan. 6, 2021.
The Kentucky Republican hailed members of the US Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police departments during the presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal to the forces that battled rioters who disrupted certification of Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
“Because of your bravery and professionalism, Congress finished our job that very night. Because you honor your oath to support and defend the Constitution, we were able to honor ours,” McConnell said in the Capitol Rotunda.
“That is a reality that was made especially clear 23 months ago, but it is true every single day,” he added. “Thank you for having our backs. Thank you for saving our country. Thank you for being not just our friends but our heroes.”

What arrogance!!
The nation could loose all of the senate and house, and still be a Republic with free citizens and a Constitution!
The Nation cannot survive those who will not stand for liberty, free and fair elections, and injustice. That’s what kills a Republic.
These people did not save the Republic or the Constitution. They helped continue with a government of the government, for the government, and by the government.
For the sake of what remains of our nation, stop supporting 90% of Republicans.
“And thank you for shooting that nice lady veteran in the neck, luckily she was white so nobody burned down the Capitol”
Love, Mitch.
I think these wooses actually believe a peaceful protest was like surviving the battle of the Alamo.
This just solidifies that the whole thing was a setup, Go Away Mitch, your time has expired
Also, opening the doors/gates and just watching people calmly walk in and make no attempt to stop them.
Hurl-worthy!
I loathe these people more and more every day. Ugh!
Mitch,you are a worthless traitor,to your country,your state,
and to the U.S.Constitution.
What a hyperbolic pantload.
He thanked them for “saving” the government for the government class oligarchy.
The Jan 6 committee is Pelosi’s backdoor for being held responsible for the event to ever have happened. President Trump offered twice to provide federal troops to be in place around the Capitol building just in case but Pelosi denied the offer. She is totally responsible for this event and should be prosecuted. The clown McConnell has migrated to being such a rino that he needs to be replaced immediately.
McConnell...... How about thanking yourself for F’ng up this country!!
Mitch knows who scratches his back.
The uni-party-and it’s infamous lobbyists.
“saving our country” says Mitch. This guy is so insensitive to what is happening in this country that he is a disgrace to his family, his state, his Senate, his nation, and if he is a Christian, which I doubt, a disgrace to it. That
Gate to paradise is a challenge for greedy imposters like Mitch.
Family members of the late officer Brian Sicknick, who died after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, appeared to snub (GOP)
They perpetuate the lie that J6 caused Sicknick’s death. Sad. It gets ugly with these lies.
Kentucky, STOP ELECTING THIS UN-AMERICAN CREEP!!!!!!! Better yet, recall this SOB TODAY!!!!!!!!
There's no difference between RINOs and Democrats. They're one and the same thing. Take for instance the life-long Republican political consultant, RINO Rick Wilson. In 2019, he deviously formed (along with many fellow Republicans and former Republicans) the Lincoln Project which had the sole agenda of blocking the hugely successful & hugely popular Republican President Trump from winning reelection in 2020, regardless of the end result that would cause (i.e., the far-left senile Sleepy Joe puppet Manchurian Candidate being gurneyed into the Oval Office), and regardless of the will of American voters.
RINO Rick Wilson firmly believes the senile Sleepy Joe puppet Manchurian Candidate is FAR superior to the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump.
RINO Rick Wilson continues relentlessly calling the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump a terribly grave "threat" to America and an extremely dangerous "threat to democracy." RINO Wilson is obviously part of the Democrat Party Cabal, as are so many other RINOs.
Was the ‘officer’ who shot Ashley Babbit there? Did he get an extra medal?
FU and your CCP wife , Mcconnell!
