Mitch McConnell lies, claims President Trump ‘provoked’ mob to attack Capitol

The gaslighting isn't just coming from the media or the left. The Republican Establishment is trying to destroy the President's legacy and divide the nation.

Failed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, on his final day leading the upper chamber, chose to use his time to make a statement about the Capitol riots that will upset Trump-supporters and further divide the nation.

“The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said, referring to the Capitol riots on January 6th. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”

This is a lie that has been propagated by mainstream media and pushed by Democrats. Even the Christian Broadcasting Network used a doctored video that supported McConnell’s narrative until NOQ Report pointed out their deception/error. This duplicity from Republican Establishment leadership must not be swept under the rug.

According to Wayne Dupree:

They’re biting off the hand that has been feeding them, and for some reason, they just don’t care. As a matter of fact, the GOP is now double and tripling down on chewing off the hands of every MAGA patriot.

And trust me — McConnell’s latest move will be the final nail in the GOP political coffin. He’s now publicly blaming President Trump for the incident at the Capitol and claims that Trump “provoked” it all.

This all seems to confirm what has been assumed for a week, that McConnell will be among Republican Senators who vote to impeach President Trump when the article of impeachment is brought to the Senate. Reactions from conservatives on Twitter were swift and harsh:

Do you hear me now about the Republican Party?

McConnell just took the mic on the Senate floor to blame Trump for the storming of the Capitol:

"The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people…"

Mitch McConnell's shameful attack on our president should disqualify him from leading Senate Republicans.

Trump Supporters will never quit on President Trump. Democrats will try to "cancel" us!! Will not work!!! 75 millions Trump's supporters stand with the President. Do you hear me Mitch McConnell, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Alyssa Farah

Mitch McConnell is turning his back on Republicans, his constituents and AMERICA.

Send him home.

— Graham Allen (@GrahamAllen_1) January 19, 2021

As Mitch McConnell tries to destroy President Trump’s legacy, he’s solidifying his own legacy of failure, deceit, and commitment to The Swamp. He and anyone in the GOP who supports him must be removed.

Do we have any real conservative Republicans out there or all of them various degrees of slime (from arch cretin RINOmney to the thing currently pretending to be a senate leader?

And thanks to McCondork, the Repubs have lost it all.

Good job there, asshat.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act destroyed the Whig Party. It looks like Trump Derangement Syndrome is about to destroy the Republican Party.

Do Mitch and the other Republican leaders have no sense of how their antics appear to the vast majority of Trump voters, or do they just not care?

I would have thought that no more than 4 or 5 RINOs in the Senate would vote to convict but maybe Mitch thinks it can get it up to 17. Just to ensure that Trump cannot run in 2024. But there may be so little left of the Republican Party by then that the nomination will be worth no more than the nomination of the Green Party.

Yes, used to be. Demonic-rats used to, a long time ago, unite together “For America!” No longer.

Stealing a Presidential Election = NOT Incitement.

Telling People how the Presidential Election was stolen = Incitement.

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength.

NO. HE. DID. NOT. Trump did not provoke the mob. But the lie will probably go down in history that he did anyway.

YES. HE. DID. Mitch McConnell lied. Rush on his program this am didn’t want to but felt driven to outing him and his wife being in bed with Communist China.

It is not surprising that McConnell would do this. Surely he has been offered both carrot and stick to do this because the forces behind this coup need to discredit the idea that the election was stolen...and that was the President's main point.

The first step of the communists who have overthrown our country will be to establish Biden's presidency as legitimate in the media. Everything hinges on that.

Ergo, the communists will start chipping away at those who originally opposed Biden by getting them to join their cause.

McConnell is low hanging fruit.

Let's see who is next to disavow the President's claim of "illegal election" and join the party and its new government.

It won't be that difficult given that the Deep State intel community has a big file of dirt on everyone.

As I see it how will the RINO’s win any election in 2022 without the Trump voters?

Also, how will the Trump Conservatives win any election in 2022 without the RINO voters?

It appears to me the GOP Leadership has elected to totally destroy the Republican Party and let the Democrats run the USA into the ground.

The blood will be on the hands of the GOP Leadership in their failure to support Trump when he contested the obvious voter fraud.

It's not about legacy. That's small potatoes.

It's about "unity" of those arrayed against their enemy. And that enemy, of course, is us--the deplorables.

They are going to cancel and erase everything about us until we disappear. Or, at least, that's the plan.

This is a sophisticated gaslighting attack. The GOPe is trying to fire Trump voters from the GOP. They want us gone even if it means being a minority party.
