McConnell Was 'Exhilarated' After Capitol Riot

[kpete]

“Hours after a mob ransacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described himself as ‘exhilarated’ about the potential damage to President Donald Trump,” the Washington Post reports.

Said McConnell, to one of the authors of This Will Not Pass: “I feel exhilarated by the fact that this fellow finally, totally discredited himself.”

He added: “He put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Couldn’t have happened at a better time.”

1. No, he handed you the gun, and you refused to pull the trigger.

Gutless repugs decided to remain servants of TFG.

2. And yet McTurtle didn't vote to impeach him. And said recently he'd support...

him again for president.

What a pos.

10. He is the living personification

of “power over country”

[Raven123]

3. McConnell's plan was to let the Dems do what needed to be done and then criticize them

Pure cynicism

4. Mitch, as I understand it, convinced Trump NOT to do another COVID stimulus

Right before the election. Trump’s dumbass followed along. Imagine being able to hand people money AS they are going to vote.

5. Nope. Amazingly, the powers that be allowed Trump to avoid that.

It’s something for the history books.

7. Senate MAJORITY leader??????

WTF???

9. They're talking about on 1/6

He was still Majority Leader

[LaMouffette]

11. And didn't it just come out that McConnell told someone, "The Democrats will take care of [Trump]

for us"???!!!

Of course he wanted the Democrats to be the ones to get rid of Trump. That way, he and the rest of the Repubes would be free of the monster they created, yet would bear none of the blame for removing Trump and would not incur the wrath of Trump's base.

God, how I loathe McConnell!
