McConnell defends acquittal in WSJ op-ed but blasts Trump's 'unhinged falsehoods'

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Monday defended the Senate's decision to acquit former President Trump but clarified that it, "vindicated the Constitution, not Trump."

In his op-ed, McConnell echoed sentiments he shared after the Senate acquittal on Saturday, when he said Trump is "morally responsible" for the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6 and that he was "outraged" by Trump's actions.

"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

I wish someone would have thought to have showed up with pine pitch and a bag of feathers. I want to see -just one- congressfool get tar and feathers and run around like a chicken in public.

I need a good laugh. The colonists had a sense of humor. Tar and feathers, dressing up like Indians for the Boston Tea Party.

Good times.

Did the FBI ever post anything like this for the Antifa mob violence? I didn’t think so.

They weren’t all criminals they were demonstrators McConnell needs to stop his fake outrage.

And Trump didn’t praise them.

ImVho, what THE TURTLE deserves s a KITA. = I am ASHAMED that I ever gave him any $$$$, as I once did.

He is a COYOTE wearing clothes, imo.
(COYOTE is about as hateful about a person as we NAs get. = It’s FAR from complimentary & only being referred to as a SKINWALKER may be worse..)

Yours, ex-cadet

Kissed the ring once more did you, go ahead and line your pockets again.

But know this, you will spend the rest of eternity in regret.

The enemy can insist it was not stolen until the end of time. We know otherwise.

When ANTIFA and BLM were rioting last summer, Mitch tweeted for people to wear masks.
