Twitter CEO Elon Musk called GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s party affiliation into question Tuesday after McConnell condemned Fox News for publishing videos recorded in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, McConnell trashed Fox News’ Tucker Carlson for publishing new footage of the Capitol building from the Jan. 6, 2021 riot that undermined the Democrats’ narrative of a “deadly insurrection.”
“With regard to the presentation on Fox News last night, I want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the Capitol Police about what happened on January 6th,” McConnell said.
Hours earlier, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger sent a memo to his department that called Carlson’s coverage “filled with offensive and misleading conclusions.”
Musk responded to McConnell’s remarks on Twitter.
“I keep forgetting which party he belongs to,” Musk wrote.
McConnell was far from the only Senate Republican to rebuke Carlson’s coverage on Capitol Hill. Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer, North Carolina Sen Thom Tillis, South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham all condemned Fox News for airing the raw footage of the Capitol riot that exposed the deception campaign run by the House Select Committee on Jan. 6.
McConnell survived a challenge to his perch in leadership last fall from Florida Sen. Rick Scott. Ten Republican senators voted against the Kentucky lawmaker’s re-election as Senate leader after McConnell sabotaged GOP efforts to capture a congressional majority in 2022.

So I count 3 well known people troubled by these videos, Trump, Musk and Tucker. The GOP in Congress are either running for the hills or are lambasting that the people were allowed to see the truth. Sad times.
There is a reason why the left never goes after McConnell and asks how he got all his money notice that because they are on the same side always has been
Mitch McConnell and his corrupt state are RESPONSIBLE
for the loss of this Republic, and the murder of millions.
That’s good.
Cramer and Rounds. Two Dakota morons. There MUST BE better candidates than these two.
This is a weakness of Musk. He makes the error of racists that blame all folk of a group because of terrible things some did.
That is racism and is simply an error of logic. Shame on Musk, he has enough engineering background to know better.
I’ll grant you, like TPool maintains, all sitting Democrats are evil (mebbe Massey is the single exception). But, that does not automatically make all Repubs good, or even better. There is a huge swath of Repubs who are just as evil. Not misinformed or dupes, EVIL.
He is eloquent, should have done better.
Whelan in SD-a real stiff. No serious challengers. They have to be big name and accomplished. Plus they need money to go against the incumbency status quo. Think how Daschle and Conrad managed to win in red states. A mistake could end up like Mississippi where Sessions was succeeded by a rat. We can’t be stupid. Sandlin even snuck into the house based on family name and a pretty face. Her GOP opponent? Whelan. Then throw in the 2006 debate where the GOP allowed the Libertarian in.
2024-ND. Kramer will have to do.
The Mypillow guy buys property in ND and runs as an ‘election denier’. All he would need is the nomination.
But... But... But...
We HAVE to vote for the bush league chamber of commerce worshipping republiCANT because... because..
Well, just because

The question to be answered is how McConnell personally profits financially from hiding the truth to be seen in the tapes.

Musk is doing the job the GOP-e refuses to do.
The Deep State is a real criminal organization. Mitch is Deep State
🤣🤣🤣
Bought and paid for by the CCP, he hasn’t forgotten.
Coco Chow reminds him every day.
A stuck turtle is gonna squeal.
Mitch is the classic UniParty hack.......
What is it about Musk’s simple statement that you think was questionable?
This is all he said above:
“I keep forgetting which party he belongs to”
You launch into a tirade that he “makes the error of racists” and “That is racism and is simply an error of logic.”
Shame on you, Mr. 666.
