I'm struggling to understand what caused Moscow Mitch to suddenly start troothin' about Jan6.
“We saw it happen. It was a violent insurrection for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election, from one administration to the next. That’s what it was.”
He joins a mere handful of core Republicans in condemning the House resolution censuring the Republican members of the House Select Committee, and who have placed themselves in direct opposition to wannabe Speaker McCarthy. But his statements about his own flipfloppery are a study in self contradiction and hypocrisy. For even as he opposes and condemns what the Republican House caucus has put forth to legitimize their attempt to overthrow the government, McConnell condemns Republicans opposing members of their own party:
Moscow Mitch said:“Traditionally, the view of the national party committees is that we support all members of our party, regardless of their positions on some issues,”
I know hypocrisy and Moscow Mitch are like BFFs, but WTF is going on here? Is it a break for the exit? A symbolic gesture? A nothingburger that he'll forget all about by next week?
I'm pretty sure it's not a plea to the Republican Party to return to some semblance of sanity, but maybe it's a charade designed to look like such a plea so he can refer to it when called out in the future?
