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.”

Excuse my language, but what a f***ing piece of s**t this scumbag is. PLEASE get him out of office! How many times did he thank the cops dealing with the 4 years of riots nationwide by Antifa and BLM that caused billions in damages, killed cops, maimed cops, destroyed lives, destroyed businesses, and is now completely brushed under the rug as if it never ever happened? MCCONNELL NEEDS TO GOOO! ENOUGH ALREADY!

I don’t think the country’s particularly saved. Quite the opposite in fact.

McConnell isn’t going anywhere. A large majority of fellow Republican Senators voted to keep him as leader compared to the few who voted for Sen. Scott who had been endorsed by Trump.

I can’t believe how utterly clueless some of these people
are, but then it dawns on me. They aren’t clueless. They
are in on it.

Mitch, I hope you are not forgetting the wave of anarchists destroying more than 100 American inner cities with vandalism, fire, bullets, dozens of innocent civilians and executed police officers? This went on for 6 months! Like a long despicable horror movie resembling “The Purge” - approved by mainstream media and the Democrats.

At least Nancy Pelosi was who she was without apology. Mitch is every bit as bad as her, but he tries to hide it from the ignorant folks. And no chance to vote him out for another 4 years. By then he may have died from old age.

What the Democrat Party Cabal (including RINOs) deliberately ignores is the obvious fact that the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump was U.S. President for four years and he didn't turn the Presidency into an "evil," "violent," "authoritarian dictatorship," as all Democrats/RINOs idiotically predicted and claimed he would. In fact, the Democrat/RINO-led violent Black Lives Matter/Antifa wild thug mob riot organization violently rioted across the nation throughout the 2020 Stolen Election year. In contrast, the hugely successful & hugely popular President Trump helped lead the U.S. in a very successful and prosperous four-year period. Very strong economic growth vs. the terribly slow economy of the lame President Barack Oblamea. The U.S. experienced a great rebirth with President Trump ("Make America Great Again" - President Trump was definitely starting to do that.) But as you see, the Democrat Party Cabal (DPC) bitterly hates "Making America Great Again." The DPC doesn't want to make America great again. The DPC wants huge amounts of illegal immigrants to continue pouring across our wide-open U.S. borders.
The DPC's long-term agenda is to drag the U.S. down to the level of the average country in the world (or far worse). Ultimately, the DPC (and George Soros) want to have one world government, under which the U.S. is subservient. What the DPC and George Soros are too dumb to realize is that when you have one New World Order, it will collapse in short order. Maybe hundreds of thousands of years in the future (if mankind is still around), maybe all men will be completely 100% civilized and you could have one very limited, trustworthy, and good global government. But that's a utopic dreamland that is maybe even millions of years away (if ever). That means the Democrats/Soros/RINOs are quite literally nuts.

The United States is in the process of being destroyed. It will be the greatest tragedy to befall the human race. The suffering will be incalculable. What do you call a person who assists in this destruction for his own benefit?
