Then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly felt vindicated the morning after the deadly Capitol insurrection last year, telling a New York Times reporter that he was “exhilarated” about the potential damage to then-President Trump after a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol and endangered lawmakers’ lives.
Mitch, you dumbass. You of all people should know when there’s no bottom. You should know they liked him because he was awful. He’ll wear out his welcome in other ways, over time, but he will never be discredited. There’s no credit to lose. Dumbass.
By then, wasn’t McConnell the minority leader?
I don’t think so because Sens. Warnock and Ossoff were not sworn in until 1/20.
Before people again jump on the reporters and Democratic Party leaders, most of this was already known and the question again is Republicans dereliction of duty.
Majority Leader
Power share happened before trial.
And yet, and yet Mitch didn’t vote to convict. So what change between J7 and Feb 13th?
Profiles in chickenshit. Hopes for impeachment then votes to acquit. In the sewer pipes of history the lowest seat is reserved for Mitch. No one else comes close.
Polling?
Donors?
That is the question. There really seemed to be a 24-hour period when it felt like Trump would resign or get 25thd.
Nothing. That was the problem. Mitch thought Trump had reached the final disgusting act because of which he would be driven as an outcast from the land. Didn’t happen. And Mitch wasn’t going to take a moral stand if it cost the party one vote, so he shrugged and voted to acquit. The head of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party isn’t going to change his spots.
Were leaving at the time.
McConnell told Martin that he felt “exhilarated by the fact” that Trump “finally, totally discredited himself,” according to the Post.
Visualizing Mitch being exhilarated is enough to ruin my appetite.
Mitch McConnell is ugly, inside and out and all around. He is a pig, with all due respect to honorable pigs.
You’re wise to put that disclaimer in. I’ve been taken to task many a time.
Package that in pill form and make millions in the weight loss biz.
Frankly he’s no feast for the eyes when he isn’t exhilarated.
O-t
C’mon Mitch, you can do better. Go get a penile implant if it helps.
