Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell just went scorched earth on former President Trump, saying he WAS responsible for the U.S. Capitol riot and abandoned his duties as POTUS … but defended his decision to vote not guilty, all over what he considers a technicality in the process.
McConnell addressed the Senate floor after the votes were cast, and said what Trump had done on Jan 6. was disgraceful and a big part of why what happened did. So why didn’t he vote to convict then??? In McConnell’s eyes, he (and the Senate at large) didn’t have the constitutional power to do so … and he wasn’t about to buck that restriction just to send a message.
