Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday urged Democrats and Republicans to tone down their rhetoric but defended President Trump from charges of racism after he tweeted over the weekend that minority Democratic lawmakers should "go back" to where they came from.
"The president is not a racist," McConnell declared, after reporters pressed him hard on whether Trump's tweets were racist or whether the GOP leader himself would ever use such language.
Instead McConnell said both sides were guilty of "overheated" rhetoric.
“I think the tone of all of this is not good for the country but it’s coming from all different ideological points of view. To single out any segment of this I think is a mistake,” he said, defending Trump from recent criticism from Democrats.
In his prepared remarks, McConnell said: "I think there’s a consensus that political rhetoric has really gotten way, way overheated all across the political spectrum," he said.

The GOP must support the President against these attacks.
Better rhetoric: “Anti-American Democrats out of U.S. Love it or leave it!”
Secure the Border, Ditch...
That is “support”?
The president said if someone thinks America is Nazi Germany, and they think we have concentration camps, and they love Al Qeida, they should leave.
Mitch should have had some balls and said he agrees.
Obviously the polling data has come in, and the focus-grouped responses have been tested.
FraudCo removed Mitch’s.
GOP - The FAG Way!
Next to get slapped....our old buddy Turtle.
He has NO idea how angry the Base is...but he will soon!
Mitch, like all Gutless Wonder politicians, grab failure from the jaws of success.

He’s only Senate Majority Leader, because of Trump.

Surprised mittens hasn’t piled on. Did I miss his condemnation of Trump?
Mitch is King of the Pussies.
Amen.
The President is not winning the favor of media companies, but he’s winning the hearts and minds of the vast majority of the American people.
Romney, McAdams criticize Trump for his racist remarks; silence from Utah’s other members
He could not resist.
“The Hill” apparently is full of crap, too.
The president didn’t just say they should go back where they came from, he should they should go back there, fix the problems, and then come back here to America and show us how it’s done.
And since when is Puerto Rican a race, or Muslim a race? He didn’t say anything racial at all.
But it’s to be expected from the lying RAT party and the media, two peas in a pod, one and the same.
