‘Entire nation knows who is responsible’ Sen. McConnell takes aim at Trump for Jan. 6
NY Post ^ | Dec 20 | By Victor Nava

Posted on 12/19/2022 9:40:31 PM PST by RandFan

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took aim at former President Donald Trump when asked about his reaction to the House Jan. 6 panel’s criminal referral of the former president to the Justice Department on Monday.

“The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations,” McConnell told reporters when asked about the House select committee’s findings.

The committee, led by Reps. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), recommended to the DOJ that Trump, 76, be charged with inciting or assisting an insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to make false statements to investigators, and conspiracy to defraud the US government.

The panel had said it uncovered evidence Trump pushed claims he knew were false about the 2020 presidential election in an effort to change the election’s outcome.

McConnell had previously laid blame on Trump for Jan. 6 on the Senate floor in February 2021, after the former president was acquitted of inciting an insurrection at his impeachment trial.

“There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day,” McConnell, who voted to acquit Trump because he was no longer in office, said.

Yet we can’t get our own senators to toss McConnell for his constant treachery. It is gross how entrenched the power structure is and that we are restricted to only having controlled opposition.

We need a new party.

Possibly, but we need to get the 17th Amendment repealed.
Make Senators answerable to State legislatures again...
even on leadership choices.

Follow the money with McConnell. Trump asked Pelosi twice if she needed Fed troops on site twice but she declined. Pelosi is responsible for the Capitol Security.

RINO- Uni-Party will only be happy if Trump is nailed to a cross. How dare he speak the truth? The world is the way they say it is—why Trump was never REALLY President in the first place. History will be kind to Number 45. Who do I blame? The MAGA People who let it all happen and didn’t have Trump’s back. When the riots came—only a few defended the cities against the mobs—ONE TEENAGER—With a Gun came forward! All you Computer Conservatives—just watched it on TV. You cowards deserve Biden/Hunter and Nancy Pelosi and the whole crooked clan. Fear filled followers didn’t want to risk yourself—or be called Racist by a bunch of real racists in the streets. Your fellows went to the capital—were lead by the bad guys into the capital and now are imprisoned as Political Prisoners (Putin was right about that)—How many have marched to free the Jan-6 people? NONE! Your pathetic. George Washington is rolling in his grave. You went to Trump’s rallies to be ENTERTAINED only. You wanted a few laughs —something harmless. Donald may as well played a piano with his member like Zelensky for your amusement. You didn’t deserve him, and you do not deserve the American Flag! You knew they would rig things—hey, hey did it to Ms. Lake out in Arizona. What will you do, maybe send her a few dollars? Few will do that. Trump shouldn’t run—if he did, they would just pull him down like Lee’s statue—and what will you do? Tap away—Well, I am no better. I was so intimidated I feared to even wear my Trump shirt, or place his bumper sticker on my car. I am a coward too. Don’t worry—we are being punished by Biden and his gang for our cowardice.

Yet the Senate Republicans keep re-electing him as Leader.

The question becomes then..."Which of them chose him?"

There's your problem, you know the solution. Elections.
(well, given the current state of affairs regarding elections, you may not want that suggestion. /sarcasm)

I would have you tried for treason and hanged McConnell. Never apologizing for my point of view, no matter what. You guys have pushed it over the edge.

Was that first salvo into the crowd their proverbial/veritable punch in the mouth, Fancy Nancy?

They didn't like that too well.

When he says “the entire nation, he’s including me — and I resent that. WHY do the Kentuckians continue to re-elect this Chinese asset?
