Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he never wants to speak to President Donald Trump again after the events at the US Capitol on Wednesday, according to The Washington Post.
The president has been accused of inciting the riot by urging his supporters at a rally on Wednesday “to fight” and march to the Capitol, where Congress was counting electoral votes and confirming Joe Biden as the president-elect.
After the Capitol was secured and Congress reconvened more than six hours later, McConnell condemned the protesters.
“The United States Senate will not be intimidated,” he said. “We will not be kept out of this chamber by thugs, mobs, or threats. We will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation. We are back at our posts. We will discharge our duty under the Constitution and for our nation.”
He continued, “Even during an ongoing armed rebellion and the Civil War, the clockwork of our democracy has carried on. The United States and the United States Congress have faced down much greater threats than the unhinged crowd we saw today.”
“They tried to disrupt our democracy. They failed,” he said. “This failed insurrection only underscores how crucial the task before us is for our republic.”
Congress finished counting the electoral votes shortly before 4 a.m. ET on Thursday, finalizing Biden’s victory.
On Thursday night, Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, indicated that federal prosecutors were investigating Trump’s role in inciting the insurrection.
“We are looking at all actors here, not only the people that went into the building, but … were there others that maybe assisted or facilitated or played some ancillary role in this,” Sherwin told reporters in a phone call.
The Washington Post reported that when Sherwin was asked whether that included Trump, he said, “We are looking at all actors here, and anyone that had a role, if the evidence fits the element of a crime, they’re going to be charged.”
After Sherwin’s comments, the president released a video condemning the violence at the Capitol.
I’m sure Trump will never want to speak to you again either, RINO Mitch
Mitch is a rhino. He knows that the democrats paid antifa to show up there and storm the Capitol. He probably helped finance that too. Trump is better off without you Mitch.
he encouraged a Rally- not a Riot! And there were LOTS of Antifa mixed in with the crowd. Use your Head! Heavily guarded on a normal day but not THIS day? Another Dem Ambush for Trump. This was NOT what he had in mind nor encouraged!!!
That is a good thing, since your rino butt has nothing worth while to hear! He typifies what is wrong with the Republican Party, nothing but a democrat!
Mitch i don’t think Trump gives a rats behind. After your lack of support I know he doesn’t want to talk to you either
NO BACKBONE POS SHOULD HAVE KEPT PUSHIN AND TOOK PELOSI AND THE OTHERS OUT ON A QUICK HUNTING TRIP,WEAKASS POLITICIANS ON BOTH SIDES. LETS GET OUR COUNTRY BACK ONCE AND FOR ALL REMOVE THE MUSLIMS
McConnell you are an embarrassment to ALL AMERICANS. And we pay your salary. What a waste of our time and money you are. You are a stinking rino traitor.
Mitch – You betrayed the people who voted for you and now you are upset. I have trouble feeling sorry for you. You are well aware that the election was not fair or legal. You made the choice to back off and let the illegal election stand. Ydu decided my legal vote was not worth as much as an illegal democratic vote. When Nixon did Watergate the Democrats fought until they won. You gave up almost immediately. The legal voters were given no opportunity to fight their case anywhere. The courts pussed out, the supreme court pussed out and the congress pussed out. You are all cowards and have changed our country with your cowardice. You rushed to make judgements before finding out the facts. You will live to see the results of your cowardice. The only way I see to have my vote count is to become a Democrat and have my vote count in primaries to select candidates less radical but with the strength to stand up for their constituents. You had the power to do something but chose not to. Now you have to live with the results.
Mitch McConnel,
I am so very disappointed in you. Your betrayal is immense and heartbreaking!
Mitch mcconnell is a traitor and coward and has no place to represent the american people.
ALL decent and patriotic U.S. Citizens love and support President TRUMP!! MAGA!!
Mitch McConnell is an old fart that needs to be thrown out already, Enough with this old SWAP MEMBER. TIME FOR YOU LEAVE ASSHOLE!! Cruz needs to be in your position ,Time for you to GO!! LEAVE NOW YOU PUPPET FACE!!!!!!!
Dementia Joe and Commie Kamala and the DNC stole this election through election fraud. There are 2500+ sworn statements of election fraud, there are multiple videos showing election fraud. These two idiots and the cheating DNC should not be rewarded for their corruption. The January 6th demonstration has been deliberately skewed to fit the dishonest narrative of the left. I know people who were there and I know this was not a violent demonstration. Do not condone this fraud.
Mitch McConnell can suck my hairy rear-end as well as Mike Pence. They are Traitors to the Citizenry of what used to be America and has now become Nazi Germany, Pre China, Venezuela you name it, maybe soon IRAN.
We have been sold down the river and McConnell has always been a Soros RINO, never cared for Pence, but they just showed you the demonic side of them and I wish them all a dirt nap with God.
Our dear President did not do a thing wrong, these foot soldiers were infiltrated by ANTIFA, BLM and other stray dog Demoncraps to embarrass him !!
I thought Mr. McConnell had “balls, but he just showed us that he is and has been a doubled face Demon-crap who will kiss Pelosi and Obamas’s back side !!
Luis D. Rey
Mitch McConnell is a big hypocrite just like Chucky Schumer and ugly Nancy Pelosi.
A new Traitor to stand beside Traitor Mitt, no loyalty at all for Traitor McConnell!
Another back stabber. But we knew he was a RINO.
Mc Connell needs to go and retire he created this in the beginning by not negotiating it with the House for VI the 2000 stimulus money and giving it to other nations
Mcconnell is weak and needs to be voted out of office by true Republican patriots next time he is up for reelection. He is part of the DC swamp and needs draining along with the rest of the stinking mess. He is a prime example of why there should be term limits in the legislative branch.
McConnell is a TURNCOAT and can’t see the truth that tramp had nothing to do with the riot in DC. That was all set up by Democrats in their EVIL WAY
Hey Mitch- You and Graham are the two biggest gasbags masquerading as “conservatives” in the Senate, & you have been for years! All you do is bloviate about how you’re protecting America, yet you stand by while the real thugs just stole an election from we, the American people! Stand down, get out of the way, & let a real conservative LEAD! You’re just taking up space & ripping off the public!
Keep your eyes on the Congress, America! The FEMA camps should be getting ready to open ‘most any time now!
That’s all we need mitch,another RINO.
Mitch, like Graham are turncoats only needed the real president to get reelected. Remember next time they are up. The list of losers is long.
Mitch McConnell is just another WHITE nigga in Washington! What exactly has Mitch McConnell done for the AMERICAN people ZERO Mitch McConnell is a total FRAUD THAT NEEDS TO GO FUCK HIMSELF
O’CONNELL DIDN’T SEEM SO CONCERNED WHEN BLK and Antifa were burning business’s and locations belonging to others. It’s time to make some giant (legal) changes to save American greatness.
WEAK KNEED, YELLOW BELLIED, MONEY HUNGRY, LYING, UN-AMERICAN TRAITORS!
THE LYING MSM ISSUED “MANIPULATED” NEWS REPORTS – CREATED FALSE NARRATIVES – BLAMING DJT – When it was ALL STAGED BY THE ANTI-AMERICAN GLOBALISTS
APPOINT MATT GAETZ as V.P. His SPEECH to CONGRESS the other day was HEROIC.
GOD BLESS DJT! GOD BLESS AMERICA !
How does it feel to betray the constitution and the will of the people? Your name will be added to the list of deep swamp RINOs whose only concern is getting a check while doing a minimum of actual work. I hope you enjoy communist rule.
While they are launching this investigation why don’t they start an investigation into all the alleged illegal voting activities that at least half, that is half the country, are pretty much convinced happened. Where was all this concern when all the small businesses, police vehicles, even entire city blocks were being burned and occupied by “American citizens” peacefully expressing themselves? I guess all these people, the victims of those ” peaceful protests” , were not no where near as essential as our elected representatives. We know this because they had to be vaccinated first which in my opinion is like unto a father telling his children, whom he is supposed to care for, that he must be vaccinated first to insure ” continuity ” of the family.
I would be ashamed to show my face. I have a word for the major news networks, social media, and other members of the modern propaganda campaign including all the ones who choose what is politically correct off the daily menu, we the other half of America are not buying what your selling. This is called freedom of speech which begins with freedom of what I choose to believe what I know is true.
Libtards have unfairly harassed President Trump and his supporters since he filed his paperwork to run for office. We have been called everything but patriots and we have patiently withstood the ire of the unbalanced libtard media and every ignorant talking head from Hollyweird to Washington. Conservatives have been excoriated and demonized, yet we have not been the ones that have rioted and burned entire city blocks of privately owned businesses. We have been reticent to take this approach because we know how much work it takes to establish and run a business and how important these businesses are to the fabric of America. We are now faced with an administration that will attempt to tax and spend conservative America out of existence and remove our Constitutionally guaranteed Rights to protect our livelihoods and families by restricting gun rights. You have fraudulently stolen the last Presidential election and Senate seats to give yourselves the majority in an attempt to legitimize a communist style rewrite of our Constitution, and you wonder why we are upset. We are near the point when patriots will be forced to take control and usurp the tyrannical government the libtards are intent in establishing. Be warned libtards, we as patriots will not comply nor will we be silenced while you destroy our Country. We have been extremely patient but we are very close to the end of our rope, the very rope with which traitors will hang.
Mc Connell is a real POS,I’m glad he will lose his position as senate leader i hope nothing but bad karma for him.
I wonder what he’ll be when he grows up.
Mitch Mcconnell nd Lindsey Graham both need to be recalled by their States. These two and others have been in Congress to long. I didn’t vote for Lindsey in the primary but I did in the general because I didn’t want Jamie Harrison. Trust me I and a lot of other South Carolinians won’t do it again. If the Republicans had done their job in the first place, this would probably never have happened. We as a nation are fed up with both sides.
What an idiot, kissed ass to all people who riot during the summer and destroyed millions of business, homes and killed lots of people, where were all of you then, kissing a…..to all these bunch of disgusting democrats you all get what you deserve Im sure when you need him again you will crawl back kissing is a….
Amazing, kick the dog when its asleep. Why are they so adamant to blame D.T. Are the DEMS/Washington pointing a finger and blaming PELOSI and the DEMS for the unrest in our nation during BLM, NO, they did not!
Why are they not POINTING a finger at the witch on the DEMS side PELOSI, shes and her puppets, Shumer and Shiff are the best at inciting violence.
mitch the chinese agent mconal is a coward and an anti american deep stater he hates america
It seems to me that the “invasion” was led by paid left wing rioters. Can’t we name then and call them what they are. The left cannot do enough to put a mussel on Donald Trump. He will be heard from in the future. 70 million americans were screwed by cheats. It is impossible to make up the number of votes that showed up after 3:30 AM the day after voting day. I have no confidence that we will ever see an honest vote in the future until we clean house of the cheats and the bogus voting machines. I’m 85 years old and don’t see much in the future for my country. I hurt as a retired veteran.
Should have term limits for the A-holes like the turtle turncoat.
Is 99% of Americas blind and deaf? Wake up, quit believing the stupid Media and the Mob!!
Mitch McConnell shouldn’t let the door hit him in his big ass by not speaking to Trump! I’m sure Trump is worried about that!!!
The race to flatten and destroy our dually elected and beloved President Trump has been put into high gear…especially those GOP that are in the “thick” of Chinese takeovers. A new American political party will rise from this. Patriots will NOT be pushed into the corner any longer. #StoptheSteal #Stopthe Swamp #AmericaFirst
No one should ever speak to this criminal again. He should either spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement or be executed in pubic and broadcast on television!!!
i hope i never hear traitor mitch again he needs to resign he has always been useless
Mitch
WHERE IS YOUR BLAME, AS WELL AS PELOSI & SGT AT ARMS FOR NOT SECURING CAPITOL, ESP KNOWING IRAN HAD AN ACTIVE THREAT TO RETALIATE FOR SOLEMANI?
How does TRUMP BENEFIT from STOPPING CONGRESS’ ELECTORAL CHALLENGE on 1/6?
Who has MOTIVE to stop CONTESTING ELECTION?
NOT TRUMP!
WHY DID YOU LET YOUR EMOTION OVER RULE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY?
WHY ARE THERE CONFESSIONS FROM ANTIFA & BLM CLAIMING THEY WERE PAID TO CAUSE HAVOC?
THERE IS AN AFFADAVIT FROM ITALY FROM A WHISTLEOWER WHO ADMITS HE CHANGED VOTES FROM SPA ITALY USING FRANKFURT SERVER W/HELP FROM BAD ACTORS IN AMERICA; HAVE YOU LOOKED INTO IT?
SIMPLE MATH SHOWS MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS IN A NUMBER OF STATES.
THE STATES CONSTITUTIONAL LAWS WERE VIOLATED IN PA, AZ, MI & NV YIELDING MORE THAN ENOUGH ELECTORAL VOTES FOR THE
12th AMENDMENT
ARTICLE II
TO ENACT.
75 MILLION AMERICANS ARE STILL UPSET FEELING THEIR VOTE DIDN’T MATTER!
WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO SPEAK TO THE PRESIDENT, IS THAT THE CONSENSUS OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS OR YOUR
PERSONAL FEELINGS?
JUST ASKING, MAYBE YOU SHOULD RESIGN, HUH?
SINCERELY
DISENFRANCHISED AMERICAN
How sad for our Nation and for our Leaders. What would we be talking about if some of our senators would of perished at the hands of the mob. Would Trump then be accountable? He needs to be accountable for the deaths at the Capitol as well as son Eric and Guilliane. When he told the MOB he would walk with them he enticed them and then took another exit. Dumbasses believed him.
Dont worry, Mitch, I doubt if Trump will visit you in prison.
Mitch, do your job, Trump only wanted the legal votes to count, unlike you! He told the people to walk to the capital peacefully, you all know that, you took the RHINO way out! There was no way Trump could control everyone with so much anger because of the fraud election. There are reports of ANTIFA among the crowd!
Good for Mitch McConnell he was a sorry traiter when he when he left the democrats and he is still a dirty sorry trailer and do you MITCH MCCONNELL really believe President Trump, or for that matter any of his supporters give a big RATS #@$ what you think or do or do not want to do! Those WERE NOT TRUMP SUPPORTERS WE ALL KNOW THAT AND YOU LIKE THE REST OF US KNOW THAT THE DEMS WERE BEHIND iT AND IM SURE PAYING THE NOT TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID!
And I always thought him a good person.
You are definitely one of the RINO’s. I can’t wait until TRUMP locks all of you up!
Trump didn’t encourage anything more than a protest and a demonstration. A highly American-original act of public displeasure and VERY CONSTITUTIONAL. There is not ONE WORD of his address to the million-or-more Americans and patriots which incited them to storm the Capital building. Nor has anyone brought forth as much as a quote to suggest it.
At first, peaceful, respectful protesters were even invited into the Capital. Then a short time later, on their heels crash the Antifa pretenders with a flag and advantaging themselves on the heels of Patriots, they broke windows, threatened the Congress, who took off, and all hell broke loose.
Another deep state rhino traitor.
Mitch McConnell your actions over the last 4 years here haven’t been the greatest either! You’ve been right there
With your little Republican Trumpity Bumpity, agreeing to all his wonderful shenanigans!
Trumpity Bumpity warned everyone a few weeks back that he wasn’t going to go out of the office unheard, and he also stated when the press asked him about different things concerning the inauguration and stepping down, he kept avoiding all of it!
In my opinion, I think he had this planned to have all these people come to the Capital, he also knew they wouldn’t be prepared for something like this!
I think, Lindsey Graham,Ted Cruz, and all of the Republican Party that basically enabled Trump to this point, should be taken down with him!
My words to them YOU’RE FIRED!!!
Traitor, bastard, Chinese slave MacConell – not only worthy to talk to Trump, but not even worthy to mention the name of our President Donald Trump. We will never, forget, never forgive!
I am certain the feeling is mutual Mitch, You NO GOOD piece of S–t!
Good grief! The voters in Kansas gave that loser six more years in the Senate. What a gumba.
I never want to hear McConnell name again and I care not in the tiny least of his traitorous opinion.
Mitch McConnell, some of you republicans are a bunch of two faced hypocrites. President Trump did not have anything to do with those idiotic thugs going into the capitol. Its sorry and very low down of you and others who have turned your backs on him when he bent over backwards to help you get reelected. If I had known that you and some of the others would have done this, you would not have gotten a dime from me for your campaigns.
I want my money back from you and if you want to be on the side of the democrats which obviously you are, then you are not worthy of speaking to President Trump. He is better than all you two faced hypocrites!
MCCONNEL YOU COST THE LOST OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN GEORGIA BY NOT ALLOWING THE2,OOO STIMULUS BILL TO BE VOTED ON THAT PRE,TRUMP WANTED. NOW IT WILL BE DONE FOR THE GLORY OF DEMENTED BIDEN.YOU ALL LOST YOUR IMPORTANT POSITION.ARE YOU AN UNDER COVER COMMUNIST?
I really hope all freedom loving Americans remember the courage of our Republican elected officals come 2022.
Mitch showed his true colors: he’s squarely in bed with the communist party (fromerly know as the Democrat Party). Once Trump is finally and justly awarded the 2020 election that we know Trump
won on November 3, 2020 by a super-landslide, Donald can deal with these never-Trumpers harshly. I’m sure Mitchy Boy knew the whole plot of the plan to steal the election. Now that Italy and the Vatican, using the Vatican’s Leonardo satellite, have confessed to being the culprits who stopped the count in the early morning hours of November 4, 2020 and switched a huge amount of votes from Trump to Biden. Hey Mitch: We have the confession on video and it will be played to the entire nation on the National Emergency Broadcast System you might want to vacate the USA now to some third-world country, change your name, and hide cuz we are gonna getcha. Venezuela might be nice this time of year! Mitch: You sir are a traitorous PIG and a DOG!
Who cares what you think Mcconnell – you had the power and position to look into the massive voter fraud that occurred and you turned your back !!! You did NOT support or help the 70 plus MILLION voters who voted legally – you instead looked away and let the election be tainted by millions of fraudulent votes. Shame on you Mitch McConnell – you don’t deserve the position you have.
The senators and Pelosi who have been in there forever need to resign and go home I have had it with treasonest people who do not believe in freedoms of this country. They do not believe in the constitution and they are telling who they are. I think there should be term limits on congess as well as senators so the crookedness of both parties will go away. We all should respect each others right agree to disagree without threats and violence like it used to be. It is time the people of AMERICA stand up for what is right and teach our kids the history of this country and what it has gone through from Revolutionary war to civil war WWI and WWII as well as vietnam and other foreign wars. They have no clue of what they are bout to lose if we Americans give in to the lies and nature of our politicians today.
I will notsend you money again for your campaign. You just ride the fence with who is in power. Enjoy the swamp! You are a hypocrite!
Trump did not call for rioting and anarchy. McConnell is covering his butt when he should be pointing out to the rest of the spineless legislators that Trump has withstood more assassination of character than any man should. Read what Trump actually said in closing the DC rally….
So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.
Donald Trump: (01:13:19)
So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. I want to thank you all. God bless you and God bless America. Thank you all for being here, this is incredible. Thank you very much. Thank you.”
Does that sound like a call to anarchy?
I am so sick of these free loading bastards hand the fuckers in the hall of the senate to remind ALL who we are
I don’t believe President Trump ever wanted this to happen. I do think he should have let it go at that point to fight another day. He has been attacked and persecuted since day one. We all know there was a lot of fraud in this election. He is a great POTUS but I am mad at him for letting his ego override his foresight.
I pray this will end soon.
It has now been judicially and legislatively confirmed that election cheating on a never before massive scale is now condoned. The US courts have no credibility, nor do many state legislatures, and more than a majority of the entire Congress. The criminals are running the new show and at attempting to put the honest persons in jail. Yes, Virginia the deep state with it pathetic cast of characters won. These fools do not realize that the Trump party is more than Donald Trump. Even after he is further persecuted we Trumpers will live on. The Republican party as a whole had no backbone and cannot compete with the Democrats when it comes to the foul deeds they do to steal your lunch and more. I have little pity for Republicans in general since they brought this current and future problem on through their RIHO attitudes, failure to punch back, and overall wimpism. McConnell is now showing how little of a Republican he is or ever was. I’m sure he won’t be excluded from any future Democratic parties in DC. The majority of the entire town sucks as do most DC alleged Republicans. And this is coming from a long time Republican voter. Don’t expect to win any national elections with half or better of all Trumpers now telling RINO Republicans to jump off a cliff sooner rather than later. Disgusted!
McConnell is such an unmitigaged arsehole.
Surely Satan will have a position of honor for him.
He will hear him again. From Jail.
Mitch are more shithead Joe kissed Mitch’s ass
Yess i’ agreed with u all!! I’ am so sad and heart broken! But real true honest Americans like me will never accept a fraudulent! Corrupted!! Stolen!!! Presidential election! Neither true honest patriots like you all, thank you all for standing tall, now America it’s gonna be more divided than never before a lot of shit it’s gonna happen maybe bloodshed because Joe Biden is not and never be a legitimate president!! The Electoral College doesn’t decide who’s the president of the US… we the people do!!!!
That shouldn’t be too hard to do, Mitch. You will be voted out next time if you don’t retire. Republicans see what you are now. Anyone that would vote you back in now is a fool.
Well MaC if you hd listened and followed his direction moreoften in the lst 4 yrs. you most likely would have held the senate leadership for 4 more years. . .Trump brought real business prespective to government nd it worked. . .if more politicians would use his tactics to help the American people instead of stuffing their pockets with illegsl cash ! ! !
Hey Mitch I hope you will be enjoying your time in GITOMO for TREASON!!!
