As McConnell Moves On From Trump, Republican Rift Emerges In Kentucky
Update: 2021-01-20
Description
On his last day as senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell directly tied the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to outgoing President Donald Trump. “The mob was fed lies,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate Floor. “They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.” The statement was the first time McConnell publicly blamed Trump for the insurrection, though he had gotten close in the hours after the riot when he warned of a democratic death spiral “if this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side.”
