With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era.
After the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol, McConnell issued a grave rebuke of Trump’s behavior, blaming the defeated president for spreading “wild” claims of a stolen election.
While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.
So McConnell could have stopped this whole shit show a while back, but didn't because why?????
I don't believe McConnell is or has ever been a Russian asset. He's evil all on his own and doesn't need further incentive.
Tbh I think he was scared of the mob turning against him.
This is the correct answer. Republicans are scared shitless of their deranged constituents and get daily reminders that include death threats if they don't tow the line.
He who rides the tiger can never dismount.
Mitch McConnell has a long history of changing his opinions to suit whatever he thinks will get him more votes. He won his first election in 1977 against a Democrat incumbent by making promises to abortion rights groups and labor unions that he would support them. Then he turned around and voted against their interests when he decided he could drum up more support from the conservative voters in his district. Why do you think he has always been in favor of allowing the wealthy to donate as much as they want to campaigns? Because then he wouldn't need to bother making promises to lots of people to raise money. He could just go to a few people and he'd be set. No need to bother with actually representing the voters.
Remembering that one time McConnell filibustered himself because he knew he wouldn't be able to pull off a power play against Obama.
AKA: the worst kind of populist.
Also the most common kind of populist.
He'd rather wriggle a bit further up Trump's ass. I mean, he had a brush with conscience a while back, but it's warm and cozy up there and consequences are scary.
TIL that along with being the world's most dastardly turtle, Moscow Mitch is an anal worm
Did you forget about the SCOTUS bullshit?
SCROTUS
The R is for regressive. It does too fit there.
Tax cuts for the rich and corporations, that's why.
Without Trump they have absolutely no chances electorally. Republicans used to be the party of fiscal responsibility and they allowed themselves to get taken over by a hostile foreign power through the magic of debt and leverage. Hard core Trump supporters intend for the whole country to get taken down with them.
