I've Seen McConnell Pull a Lot of Shameless Tricks, but This Is One of the Worst
14 February 21
itch McConnell has announced that he will vote to acquit Donald Trump. McConnell wrongly claims that it is unconstitutional to impeach a president after he's left office, despite overwhelming evidence that the Framers of the constitution intended impeachment to be used against former officials. Remember, Mitch McConnell is the same person who delayed Trump's impeachment trial while he was still in office.
I've seen McConnell pull a lot of shameless tricks over the years, but this is one of the worst of all. If Trump goes unpunished, it will open the door for more attacks against our democracy in the future. Shame on McConnell and Trump remaining enablers.
