• Statement of Sen. Mitch McConnell

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 7 09:49:05 2024
    Feb. 13, 2021 - Mr. President, January 6 was a disgrace. American
    citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to
    stop a specific piece of domestic business they did not like. Fellow
    Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate
    floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a
    gallows and chanted about murdering the Vice President. They did this
    because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on
    Earth because he was angry he lost an election. Former President
    Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful
    disgraceful-dereliction of duty."

    Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell announced he would support Donald
    Trump for the presidency

    "It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the
    requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President
    of the United States. It should come as no surprise that as nominee,
    he will have my support," he said. "During his Presidency, we worked
    together to accomplish great things for the American people including
    tax reform that supercharged our economy and a generational change of
    our federal judiciary - most importantly, the Supreme Court. I look
    forward to the opportunity of switching from playing defense against
    the terrible policies the Biden administration has pursued to a
    sustained offense geared towards making a real difference in improving
    the lives of the American people."
