Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) voted to acquit President Trump in Impeachment Clown Show II, but in a statement following the vote, McConnell said it was mainly because he believed it was an unconstitutional trial, as reported on MediaRightNews,com.
In the speech McConnell played the part of Judas well as he said, “There’s no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. No question about it. The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.”
What could have McConnell possibly been aiming to accomplish by this attack? The Republican party in all actuality has metamorphosed into the Trumplican party. Yours was not an Alamo stand, Mitch. It was more a hara-kiri moment. You spilled yourself all over the stage.
President Trump responded with both barrels in a most Trump-like statement of his own. Strongly pushing back at McConnell, he said that “The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political ‘leaders’ like Senator Mitch McConnell at its helm.”
“McConnell’s dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse,” President Trump said, focusing on McConnell.
President Trump insisted that “The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle—they’ve never had it so good—and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell’s Beltway First agenda or Biden’s America Last.”
Speaking in regards to the November election, President Trump said, “In 2020, I received the most votes of any sitting President in history, almost 75,000,000. Every incumbent House Republican won for the first time in decades, and we flipped 15 seats, almost costing Nancy Pelosi her job.”
“Republicans won majorities in at least 59 of the 98 partisan legislative chambers, and the Democrats failed to flip a single legislative chamber from red to blue.”
“And in ‘Mitch’s Senate,’ over the last two election cycles, I single-handedly saved at least 12 Senate seats, more than eight in the 2020 cycle alone—and then came the Georgia disaster, where we should have won both U.S. Senate seats, but McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work? It became the Democrats’ principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was.”
“McConnell then put himself, one of the most unpopular politicians in the United States, into the advertisements. Many Republicans in Georgia voted Democrat, or just didn’t vote, because of their anguish at their inept Governor, Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Republican Party, for not doing its job on Election Integrity during the 2020 Presidential race.”
“It was a complete election disaster in Georgia, and certain other swing states. McConnell did nothing, and will never do what needs to be done in order to secure a fair and just electoral system into the future. He doesn’t have what it takes, never did, and never will.”
Speaking of regrets, the President continued to fire at McConnel. He said, “My only regret is that McConnell ‘begged’ for my strong support and endorsement before the great people of Kentucky in the 2020 election, and I gave it to him. He went from one point down to 20 points up, and won. How quickly he forgets. Without my endorsement, McConnell would have lost, and lost badly. Now, his numbers are lower than ever before, he is destroying the Republican side of the Senate, and in so doing, seriously hurting our country.”
“Likewise, McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family’s substantial Chinese business holdings. He does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat,” Trump continued.The President added, “Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country.”
“Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership.”
“Prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our country, and likewise, our economic recovery after Covid was the best in the world.”
“We cut taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Vets, became energy independent, built the wall and stopped the massive inflow of illegals into our Country, and so much more.”
“And now, illegals are pouring in, pipelines are being stopped, taxes will be going up, and we will no longer be energy independent,” President Trump said speaking about the economy.
Summing up the statement, President Trump concluded, “This is a big moment for our country, and we cannot let it pass by using third rate ‘leaders’ to dictate our future!”
What say you Def-Con News readers? Did the President “tear McConnell a new one” as one writer termed his words? Did the President’s words bring about any benefit?
President Trump, no doubt, is on a seek-and-destroy mission. He wants to rid the Republican party of its RINOs and he knows the American people want his MAGA movement to continue. McConnell is mere batting practice for the President. To follow he has the seven RINO Senators that voted to convict him in the recent Impeachment Clown Show II.
But what now will become of the Republican party? Can President Trump keep the party together and move it forward? Will his success continue in ridding the party of the likes of McConnell and other dead weight–the RINOs?
