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.

Only one
response!
PROVE IT! NOW!
McConnell is provoking me!
“The mob”
>>>They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,” McConnell said on the Senate floor<<<
Would make me very happy if he would repeat this outside his protected zone!
This is an example of why the GOP does not look “reformable.”
He’s throwing out his high cards but there’s nothing left in the deck.
May he an Pence burn in hell. Both liars.
So now you know who is who.
Provoked because we’re now a a bunch of “deprogrammed deplorables”.
China tightening the screws?
What a LIAR little mr. mcC is. China Mitch is in the china joe club of thieves and liars.
“Schumer is a pimp. He never could’ve out-fought Santino. But I didn’t know until this day that it was Mitch McConnell all along.”
Hey KENTUCKY!!!!!!!!! How about doing our side a favor and vote this one world government RINO republican OUT OF THE STINKING SENATE!!! He is a disgrace to your state.
shame on McConnell to believe that Trump supporters are incapable of seeing, hearing and thinking for themselves
We can’t unsee what we’ve seen, McConnell and what we’ve seen isn’t going away
McConnell, is provoking me too....🤬🤬🤬
Who is Mitch McConnell’s audience ?
He has burned all his bridges. Kentucky will find a nice replacement for him.
Talk about provoking! What is Mitchells’s problem? He should just shut up.
It is absurd for the Senator to blame the victim of breaches in ballot security for the chaos that followed. The President was a victim not a perpetrator.
Turtle boy is such a rat bastard POS.
