Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday sidestepped a question about reports that he declined a call from then-President Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, emphasizing that the last time he spoke to the former president was in December 2020.

“I've said repeatedly the last time I spoke to the president was the day after the Electoral College declared President Biden the winner. I publicly congratulated President Biden on his victory and received a phone call after that from President Trump and that's the last time we’ve spoken,” McConnell said when asked why he did not take Trump's calls the day of the Capitol riot.

Pressed on if he tried to call Trump back that day, McConnell said, “I just answered your question.”

I do appreciate so much Mitch confirming everything I ever
said about him.

He and Paul Ryan should go down in history as two men that
took a pass on the biggest opportunity of a lifetime, in
in the history of civilization.

We could have taken a pass on the last three years of
violence, ongoing racism, and the threats to our Republic.

The whole world will suffer because of those two men.

Heard them saying they are missing 8 hours of Trumps phone calls that day. How weird.

No one cares. Try another distraction Biden administration. We are due for news of a cop beating ala. Rodney King. Come on man it’s getting hot outside. Time for marching in the street.

Can you imagine the great shape we’d be in if Republicans supported Trump, and MAGA?

You are exactly right. Republicans controlled the House the Senate and the White House with President Trump. They could have done all the things that they had been promising for years but instead they spent their time trying to destroy Trump.

Thanks.

I don’t think there would be war in the Ukraine, and I don’t
think Kim would have restarted his weapons programs either.

Really? Didn't realize that. I seem to recall tax reform, repealing of individual mandate, multiple record setting numbers of judicial confirmations, a large series of Congressional Review Act disapprovals to overturn administrative regulations of the Obama administration, pro-life legislation allowing states to defund Planned Parenthood, etc. taking place...wonder how they found time to do all of that when they "spent their time trying to destroy Trump." (They also only controlled the House for half of President Trump's term.)

Don't think so either - along with a lot of other major disasters that would not have occurred - not the least of which was the way we left Afghanistan.

Boy, no kidding...

We’d still have that major airbase over there.
