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.

    I am very serious about wanting to give people the benefit of the doubt. When I read a newspaper article that say person x accused of crime y. I read the article and try to figure out the rest of the story, what isn’t printed.

    With mitch… I can’t even give him the benefit of the doubt. He’s a freaking moron.

      Mitch is not a moron, he is one of the most effective senators in united states history. He is a evil piece of shit but he is not a moron.

          A moron is an extremely stupid person, specifically one with severe mental deficiencies. McConnell is not stupid.
