How does this man keep getting elected? How does the same state that brings us, Senator Rand Paul, continue to deliver the Republican party’s answer to Swamp Thing to Washington term after term? Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell from the word was only ever a fair-weather, temporary ally to President Trump and it never lasted long. Indeed in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot and his ardent refusal to address the rampant corruption of the 2020 Election Mitch proved finally that he never believed a word of America-First. He’s proven it again, this time rebuking his own party’s response to turncoats Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Ronna McDaniel Sets The Correct Standard
In her statement to Townhall, Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel laid the correct GOP response to Cheney and Kinzinger’s betrayal,
“Violence has no place in our political discourse, period, and those who engaged in violence on January 6th and committed crimes should be held accountable with due process by the appropriate law enforcement authorities and prosecutors.
But the awful events of that day do not justify Cheney or Kinzinger enabling a partisan committee whose real purpose seems to be helping Democrats’ electoral prospects at the cost of potentially ruining innocent people’s lives. From the outset, the committee has lacked the legitimacy of past independent, bipartisan efforts investigating events of national importance. For starters, Republican leadership was not allowed to freely appoint a single Republican to the committee. Instead, Cheney and Kinzinger were hand-picked by Nancy Pelosi.”
“I firmly believe we are the big tent party, and that disagreement amongst Republicans is welcome and can make us stronger. But what Cheney and Kinzinger are engaged in goes much further than any policy disagreement. These two have permitted their party affiliation to be weaponized to allow the Democrats gross overreach and abuse of power. In short, they never should have agreed to be part of a committee where Republicans were denied representation.
As I have repeatedly stated, violence is not legitimate political discourse — whether in the U.S. Capitol or in Democrat-run cities across the country – and neither is abusing Congress’ investigatory powers for political gain. Media outlets pretending that the RNC believes otherwise are doing so in bad faith, and their lies should be called out for the cheap political stunts they are.”
Prevarication And Deceit Have Become The Standard For Mitch McConnell
Instead of siding with fellow Republicans and the America-First movement against those who would pervert and distort the ideals of conservativism for their own selfish ends, McConnell took to The New York Times and CNN of all places to spout his bilious rebuke of the GOP’s righteous outrage and rejection of the two RINOs.
McConnell to the Times,
“Let me give you my view on what happened Jan. 6th. We all were here, It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was.”
Dutifully regurgitating the Jan. 6th Faux-Committee’s talking points for them. He then mounted his high horse for some holier-than-thou scolding. Sorry Mitch, but demonstrably, that’s what it WASN’T. The Capitol riot was easily two different events lumped together because they happened simultaneously, and as basic logic teaches us: Ad Hoc doesn’t Ergo Propter Hoc, simultaneous events aren’t necessarily linked. In video, after video one can see two separate and disparate groups, one led by Antifa provocateurs and fairly obvious DoJ infiltrators smashing windows and fighting Police, another shouting “This has to be peaceful” and keeping behind the velvet ropes in statuary hall.
“That’s not the job of the RNC,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told CNN’s Manu Raju at the Capitol. “Traditionally the view of the national party committee is we support all members of our party regardless of their positions on some issues.” Actually, Mitch, it is absolutely the party’s role to police its own members for clear and evident betrayals of not only the party’s principals but of their constituents’ best interests and if the GOP cannot do that then it doesn’t deserve to be an organized party any longer. And clearly Mitch, its’ a party that has no place for men like you any longer.
