Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) ripped into former President Donald Trump after voting to acquit him, along with 42 other Republicans, of incitement of insurrection and argued that Trump was still morally and practically culpable for what happened on January 6.
“American citizens attacked their own government; they used terrorism to try and stop a specific piece of domestic business they did not like. Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House; they built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president. They did this because they’d been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth, because he was angry he lost an election,” McConnell told the Senate.
