Mitch McConnell Allies Refuse to Say if They Would Support Donald Trump if He Is Convicted
Breitbart ^ | 05/22/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Republican Senate allies of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recently refused to say if they would support former President Donald Trump if a Manhattan jury convicts him.

Trump faces 34 charges of improper business record entries. He could see jail time. CNN’s Manu Raju asked establishment Republican senators if they would support Trump after a potential conviction.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who wants to replace the outgoing McConnell as minority leader, said it depends but gave no guarantee. “We’ll see how the trial comes out. I’m not weighing in on that,” he said. Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), who recently tried to push an amnesty bill through the Senate, also would not commit to supporting Trump.

“I want to be able to have people that are role models and leaders and all those things as well,” he said. “For me, the policy issues are going to matter significantly.”

This reassures me that these politicians have no spine...and no integrity. What pathetic humans.

The diseased gimps of the surrender wing of the Uniparty establishment must be booted from the GOP.

He’s going to be convicted. For sure, but those convictions will be overturned. Quick like.

The correct answer is that these are illegal show trials and any conviction from them is meaningless except that those who brought these fraudulent charges should be arrested and punished to the full extent of the law.

Any Republican who doesn’t know this and is unwilling to stand against these injustices needs to be permanently removed from politics. THEY are the problem.

And every single person involved in all of this will be arrested by the Trump administration.
