Senate Republicans are sending a clear message to President Trump: The election is over and Joe Biden won.
While Trump is digging in and showing little sign of ending his public campaign despite a long losing streak in the courts, GOP senators - from leadership on down - are signaling they view the election result as settled and want to move on without a messy weeks-long fight.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) publicly congratulated Biden during a Senate floor speech, in his first public acknowledgement of the former vice president's victory.
He subsequently urged Senate Republicans during a caucus call, which was quickly leaked to the media, not to object to the election results on Jan. 6, as Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) has said he's looking for a GOP senator to join him on his plan to contest the Electoral College count.
McConnell's remarks in the call reflected two truths: that he and other GOP Senate leaders want an end to the fight, and that they are worried that House Republicans are ready to keep it going. If a single GOP senator joins Brooks, it would ensure a vote by both chambers of Congress that would divide Republicans and publicly force them to vote against Trump, which the Senate's top Republicans seem keen to avoid.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), an adviser to McConnell, said it was the "explicit feeling" of Senate GOP leadership that it was time to accept the results of the Electoral College, which formally certified Biden's win on Monday, and move on.

Trump deserves this mass back-stabbing because he supported all these establishment globalists for nomination. He didn’t try to build his own cadre of MAGA senators by recruiting primary candidates to run against them. Just like he filled his administration with nevertrumpers.
He has great policy instincts but he couldn’t lead a successful revolution; instead he bowed to Mitch McConnell and the establishment, so they remain firmly in place and ready to return to business as usual now they they’ve gotten rid of him.
4 years these same media a$$holes refused to acknowledge or accept that Donald Trump WON the White House fair and square. Even with more voted EVER for an incumbant president (FOLLOWING his partisan witchhunt impeachment) they still crap on his reign.
F-the Hill. Buncha Commie scumbags. Suck it up, (redacted) millennials.
BS
But this is the same Senate GOP that’s aided and abetted our election AND CONSTITUTIONAL corruption.
Like anyone else could have done any better. No one has fought harder for this country than President Trump. You should be ashamed... What have you done? Stick your head in the toilet and flush it.
The election is not over.
Right on!
I don’t like the media either, but there’s nothing wrong with this story
Why get mad at the media for reporting that Republican senators want Trump gone? should the media cover up that fact so rank and file Republicans won’t get angry at Mitch?
Not by a long shot...
“...He has great policy instincts but he couldn’t lead a successful revolution; instead he bowed to Mitch McConnell and the establishment, so they remain firmly in place and ready to return to business as usual now they they’ve gotten rid of him.”

The Republican Senate kept promising they were going to Subpoena Hunter, James, and Joe - and the purposely ran out the clock on Trump.
They met with Barr and Barr ended up ordering the Biden Foreign Money be kept quiet. Same with the Chinese spies.
The Senate wants to make money on defense deals, advanced knowledge, and cash kickbacks. They set out to undermine Trump, and pulled it off.

“ .. What have you done? Stick your head in the toilet?”
When did you start supporting Trump? I signed up when he came down the escalator and I actually contributed and helped during the primaries - when many if not most Freepers were supporting Cruz or other candidates. Wouldn’t be surprised if you were a Cruz person.
What the hell choice did he have? Do you really think he could have gotten any challenger to McConnell over the top in a primary?
And, you don't get it -- he didn't have full control over his cabinet choices and over the agencies under him because the RINOs in the Senate wouldn't confirm his choices. How ignorant about that can you be?
"...supported all these establishment globalists for nomination..."
Yeah cause we know how every time we elect a REAL conservative for the house or senate or the POTUS picks a SCOTUS pick..they NEVER EVER ####ing become left of center in a month!! :)
I am shocked at your naivety. It doesn’t suit you.
He’s a trump hating troll
