Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is pushing back on the Republican National Committee for its censure resolution against two GOP members of the House January 6 committee, which referred to that day as “legitimate political discourse.
Former President Donald Trump however, lashes out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday, a day after McConnell issued a strong rebuke to the Republican National Committee for its attempt to term the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as “legitimate political discourse.”
“Let me give you my view on what happened on Jan. 6. We were all here,” McConnell said on Tuesday. “It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election.”
The blunt assessment from McConnell, one of the most powerful Republicans in Washington, drew a lengthy statement from Trump.
The former president railed against McConnell and President Biden alike, repeating his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
Accoording to Trump, “Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters,”
“He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history. And he does nothing to stop the lawless Biden Administration, the invasion of our Borders, rising Inflation, Unconstitutional mandates, the persecution of political opponents, fact finding on the incompentent [sic] Afghanistan withdrawal, the giving away our energy independence, etc., which is all because of the fraudulent election. Instead, he bails out the Radical Left and the RINOs.
“If Mitch would have fought for the election, like the Democrats would have if in the same position, we would not be discussing any of the above today, and our Country would be STRONG and PROUD instead of weak and embarrassed,” Trump added.
