McConnell Dodges When Pressed On Cheney’s Ouster By House GOP

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ducked multiple times on Wednesday evening when Fox News anchor Bret Baier tried to ask him about House GOP lawmakers removing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) as conference chair for recognizing Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election.

“I don’t know how many times I have to tell you…”

Between now and next year’s midterms? A lot. And it will be seen as deflection, every single time. Not a good look.

Obstruction sure was easier before Trump and his band of lickspittles screwed things up.

The Fox News host tried again by asking if McConnell disagreed with Cheney’s warning on Tuesday night that Trump “risks inciting further violence” after his lies about the 2020 election prompted his followers to attack the Capitol on January 6.

“I don’t know how many times I have to tell you: I’m focusing on dealing with the conditions we find ourselves in now,” the Senate GOP leader snapped.

I would surmise that the ongoing threat of violent attacks by MAGA cult members counts as a “condition we find ourselves in now.” A true leader would face this head on and make the safety and security of the American government and people their highest concern.

The press needs to hit the GQP leaders, Moscow Mitch especially, with the GQP in disarray question at every opportunity.
