Mitch McConnell endorses Donald Trump for president, saying he ‘will have my support’
Daily Press ^ | 3/6/24 | LISA MASCARO

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell endorsed Donald Trump for president Wednesday, a remarkable turnaround from the onetime critic who blamed the former president for “disgraceful” acts in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack but now supports his bid to return to the White House.

McConnell, who was the last top GOP leader in Congress to fall in line with Trump, declared his support in a short statement after Super Tuesday wins pushed the GOP front-runner closer to the party nomination.

The two men had not spoken since 2020 when McConnell declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner of the that year’s presidential election. But more recently, their teams had reopened talks about an endorsement.

“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said in the statement.

Mitch did more than Nikki McRomBush to bring the party together.

Go figure!

“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,”

That sounds more like a concession rather than an endorsement, imho.

Running out in front of the parade does not make you a leader. F you, Mitch McCuckold.

Death of an Insurrection
Declassified ^ | 3/4/24 | Julie Kelly
Posted on 3/6/2024, 6:02:39 AM by CFW

On the day Donald Trump was scheduled to stand trial in Washington for charges related to the events of January 6, the Supreme Court instead delivered a death blow to the Insurrection.

Obituary:!

RIP, Insurrection. A young political life with such promise cut short after suffering a series of debilitating injuries over the past three years. Not even the hubris of Liz Cheney, faux outrage of Jamie Raskin, fake tears of Michael Fanone and Don Lemon, podium-pounding screeds of Joe Biden, or nonstop life-sustaining efforts by the entirety of the national news media could save it.

Date of death: March 4, 2024.

Cause of death: All nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot for allegedly participating in an “insurrection” on January 6, 2021.

Insurrection will be sorely missed by Andrew Weissmann, Rachel Maddow, Mitt Romney, and so many close friends from MSNBC and the Washington Post.

Sounds like Mitch means Trump will have his support....right off a cliff, again.

This is just a front to throw us off what he’s REALLY gonna do behind the scenes.

He’s gonna try to hamstring DJT every chance he gets from now until the election.

McConnell’s endorsement is meaningless. He’s a lame duck with a miserably low approval rating.

Nothing brings you around faster than your sister in law “accidentally” backing her car into a pond and drowning. 😏

Is that what happened?? I knew she died but didn’t look into how.

The 5-4 Supreme Court OPINIONS in the Colorado case left lots of hand grenades laying around, some may go off before November.

The opinions belie the 9-0 decision in the outcome, even more so that there was no author announced for the "per curiam" opinion.

Was he moving when this was heard, or was it a recording while he stood motionless?

Yep. On her own ranch she supposedly accidentally backed her Tesla into her own pond and drowned. Now a criminal investigation is being launched. Suddenly Mitch announces he’s stepping down and endorsing Trump. 🤔
