MITCH McCONNELL DOUBLES DOWN: GOP Senate Leader Now Attacking Trump in Wall Street Journal OpEd – Pushes Criminal Charges

Republican leader Mitch McConnell trashed President Trump following his second acquittal Saturday by the US Senate.

McConnell brutally trashed President Trump following his acquittal.

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens.

As reported earlier, McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.”

He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.”

And then Mitch McConnell suggested that President Trump can still be charged in the criminal justice system!

McConnell was successful, in turning 73 Million Trump supporters into at least 75 Million+. I am sure that was his intention all along.

Mitch & the Gang are trying desperately to return to the good old days, when there were MANY Arlen Specter types in the Congress.

But there aren’t too many left.

We conservatives don’t give a damn about WSJ or The Hill op-ed’s.

This ain’t the 1970’s, Mitch, when you supported Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan.

Your ilk’s days are numbered.

The more they keep suggesting “wild falsehoods”, the more we believe it to be true. Instead of just dismissing it, the constant drumbeat of bringing it up makes me even more solidified that the fraud actually took place and they ALL knew about it.

Maybe his wife told him to do it. Is She his handler for the CCP?

Need to convict Trump on a felony so they can invoke the 14th Amendment and bar Trump from ever holding office again. That’s the plan.

What next Mitch; dress in Sackcloth and ashes or just go on and commit Hari-Kari and be done with your performance of
Guilt and Contrition.

But but but ... the GOP is Trump’s party now. The RINOs can be primaries and purged. A third party can’t win. The Republican Party is the lesser of two evils. We have nowhere else to go. Blah, blah, blah.

This is the same defeatist attitude that said Donald Trump couldn’t win the Presidency. A MAGA party won’t win in one election cycle, but if you hope to replace the GOP it must first be destroyed. Giving McConnell a free pass on his brazen treachery is asking for more. He and his minions have crossed the Rubicon and must be met head on.

Chill, President Trump knows how the dems think. He use to be one.
He’ll bide his time and drive ‘em crazy.

He doesn’t have to say a damn thing. The people that voted for love him even more.

He still brings out the truth!

I still like the idea of the new party being named “The Freedom Party”.

Who was the Republican candidate who beat Murkowski in the 2010 primary? I don’t even remember the name. Patriots must nominate a STRONG, high-profile candidate like Palin. There aren’t hardly any “moderate” republican voters left in the GOP. The party has changed and is pro-Trump.

I beg all conservatives: DO NOT LEAVE THE GOP. Stay and primary EVERY RINO who is up for re-election in 2022. Make them pay the ultimate political price for their 2020 treason. The 2020 Crime of Century could never have happened without the cooperation of RINO-controlled state legislatures, governors, secretaries of state, and judges (all the way up to SCOTUS).

Murkowski is already in hot water with Alaskan voters over the way she caved during the Kavenaugh hearings. No Trump voter is going to vote for her, and although the office holders in the GOP right now are majority RINOs, the VOTERS are not.

Stay in the GOP and PURGE THE RINOs.

Think of the MOMENTUM patriots will have if in 2022 Murkowski is ousted and the GOP takes over the House (maybe Senate)with lots of patriots added to the ranks?

Mitch hopes to cover-up his failure to protect the capital after FBI and Capital Hill Police warnings. In a 9/11 investigation, Mitch and Nancy are Person 1 and Person 2.

You have nailed it. With Chinese money, the GOP will be the CCP’s apple-polisher.

What “criminal charge” would that be? At best a made-up “crime”, and all the evidence is hearsay or apparently circumstantial, but a number of exculpatory pieces of evidence have already become apparent.

One is, the timeline is all wrong. The assault on the Capitol building had already BEGUN, before Trump had even finished his speech. Another is, that the PLANNING for this assault had been done days before, when it was not even certain what the Trump rally at the White House was going to involve, and this planning was done by persons not known to be supporters of Trump in any way, shape, form or manner.

And most astonishing of all, people WITHIN the Capitol building seemed to have advance notice that this “assault” was going to happen, to the extent that doors were thrown open, and the Capitol policemen appeared to be guiding and directing the advance elements of the swarming crowd.

I am aware the Trump organization has many people in many places, but within the Capitol building, maybe not so much.

Yeh, because Mitch is a bought and paid for CCP asset and when The Donald comes back in town he’s going to be toast.
