McConnell during Trump’s second impeachment trial:
“There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day... (it) was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet earth”
McConnell today, when asked if he would support Trump if he wins the party's nomination in 2024:
"The nominee of the party? Absolutely.”
Absolutely. Absolutely fealty to the failed one term, twice impeached sociopath who destroyed the Republican party and it’s hold on power, and nearly got his own VP lynched.
It’s like watching a drug addict feed his addiction at the expense of everything that once mattered, because indulgence and fear of immediate pain is now an overriding brainstem reflex.
I don’t know how the GOP survives in this mode of operation, I fear it only survives if the party supporters accept this as the new normal. More importantly, I don’t know how our democracy survives if 1/2 of the electorate willingly follows leaders like Donald Trump and Glenn McConnell further down this dark road, because hey, AOC!!!
The letter sent to Rep. Kinsinger by his disapproving family might be the saddest thing I’ve read in a very long time.
Mitch’s moral backbone is made of the same material as his chin
