Rumor I heard was McConnell told Trump if he pardoned him that he and swamp would prevent him from ever running again.

That's a lousy excuse. The same was said if Trump pardoned the Jan 6 trespassers.

A true leader does what is right because it is right. He should've told McConnell, "Try it. I dare you."

Agreed. I would have used something to McConnell with a little more emphasis on a 4 letter and 3 letter word.
