Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday accused President Trump of provoking the violent crowd that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
“The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals who tried to stop Congress from doing our duty. The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,” McConnell said on the Senate floor, marking the first convening of the full Senate since the attack.
McConnell’s statements carry significance ahead of an anticipated Senate impeachment trial. The GOP leader has told colleagues he hasn’t yet decided how he would vote on a House-passed article of impeachment against Trump.

Many of us on FR have been saying this for quite some time. The party is not salvageable. It's dead. Put it on the other side of the grass where it can lie with McCain and start over with a new name, new branding but original conservative values.
They didn’t even have the smarts to wait until Trump is out to show their true demon selves, Pence and McConnell. I’d love to see both of them dropped from a U.S. military plane over a shark filled ocean, as they are clearly enemies of America. They are so reprehensible, such traitors, that the sharks would probably refuse to touch them. Oh well, there’s always orcas...
He’s one of my Senators and I just fired off an email to tell him that I’m ashamed of him if he really did say this.
I HOPE he is saying this as a sop to people who hate Trump, and not as a signal to how any future Senate votes about Trump will go.
No “not a while”. He will go when his puppet masters no longer have any use for him, but not until then. Pretty disgusting.
By that logic, it’s more plausible that 0dumbo and his wingman “provoked” the cop-killers after the Fergus0n r10ts.
Is there a depends for the mouth?
I can see we’re going to need freight cars filled with them
over the next four years.
Mitch, you dumb ass fool. This was planned days if not
longer before the event, by a number of ANTIFA orgs.
Please stand down. You’re killin us with your lame ass
false impressions, that serve to lead astray people who
are as uninformed as you are.
Is there a chance Kentuckians could recall / impeach Mitch ? The skinny is that his margin of victory was way, way, waaay out of balance with other races and polling which hinted at a coziness with Dominion.......ah ha ! another reason to bury DjT.
That is actually what I have prayed for for the last several years. Let everything be exposed. No more hiding. Sunlight kills viruses and vermin.
McConnell seems to really want to be the man most responsible for ending the Republican Party.
There won’t be any impeachment trial, so this is just MCConnell positioning himself to have to live with Schumer. Throwing Trump under the bus at this point serves no other purpose.
Are you watching Kentucky?
China Mitch is compromised. Must silence Trump.
It is interesting that in simply stealing full control of government, the Democrat Party is simultaneously completely destroying the GOP.
The elections are rigged, and now they don’t matter, anyway, since the opposition has vaporized.
(McConell speaks for China, by the way, operated by that horses’s-ass wife of his.)
Makes as much sense as claiming that the Democrats provoked them by stealing the election.
Yertle McTurtle - the guy who squandered the GOP Senate majority.
He's laughing all the way to the bank of China.
Nothing worse than a weak, back stabber. Nothing.
