Sen. McConnell questioned the leadership of the RNC and resent decisions to censure members of the party.

RELATED: Who is Mitch McConnell?

Spotlighting a widening breach among Republicans, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell criticized the Republican National Committee on Tuesday for censuring Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and for suggesting that the Jan. 6 insurrection was "legitimate political discourse."

Four days after the RNC voted to censure House members Cheney and Kinzinger for participating in the Jan. 6 investigation, McConnell said the party organization should not be "picking and choosing" among candidates: "We support all members of our party, regardless of their positions on some issues."

  1. The Domestic Terrorist attack on the Capital Building on January 6th 2021 v “Peaceably to Assemble” in the 1st Amendment, pick one.

    1. @Capt’n Dabbin
      It’s pretty obvious, even Trump’s former Attorney General Barr said that it was the MOST secure Election in the history of the United States.

  2. Remember God loves you!!♥️
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Please turn your life around and repent.
    the clock is ticking…….

    1. Does he?
      Proverbs 6:16-19 – There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
      So he doesn’t love everyone, apparently. Also, he loved us so much that at one point he almost committed genocide and wiped out all but 8 people.
      Thanks, but I don’t need “love” like that.

    2. @Pete Davis what is your point🤨
      Did any of those verses say he hated humans or you?????
      Or did it speak about THINGS he hate.
      God loves everyone but hates sin.
      If you read the bible for the purpose of understanding you will know why he did what he did.
      Have a nice day😊

    3. @Jnelle Trim My point is that the bible is inconsistent. God loves everyone in some passages and hates all but 8 in other passages.
      What was your point on a video about McConnell?

  3. Yet he immediately backtracked to “different views” when describing the actual criminal involvement of his own cohorts in the insurrection…

  4. Important: Not being a traitor doesn’t make you a hero. It just makes you not a traitor. I’m sure that was a tough hill for McConnell to climb, but he’s no hero.

  5. As a Republican, this is what scares me about the Republicans chance to take the Senate and House this November. No one is better at grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory like the Washington Republicans. Stop fighting over January 6th for christ sake!! With all that’s going on with this administration, you can cherry pick your issues to run on! STOP THE INFIGHTING!!!!
    Let’s go Brandon!

    1. The Republican GOP has reached exactly ZERO for the people of America in 2021 and will NOT care for the people in 2022 either. For them there is only their fascist leader Trump. One can only hope that this lying, cowardly and fascist GOP faces its greatest shipwreck ever in the 2022 election. They will if they continue to cling to Trump!

    2. @Wolfgang Karp I guess you support my comments, however to call the Trump administration lying, cowardly, and fascist is interesting. Would you apply the same to the current administration? If not, you are either blind, live under a rock or a college professor. Let’s go Brandon!!

    1. He sold out his country to the Chinese, through his CCP-assigned wife. Even gave ‘private tours’ to them, in areas of Congress deemed off limits to civilians.

  6. More people will trust and embrace a person who is honest about a situation versus the prettiest lie a thief could tell ~•☆•~

  7. trump did not forget this clow abandoned him when he was needed. now when the election will come for kentucky senetor position trump will campaign hard for replacement of this old cenile

  8. Talk is cheap. I’m not convinced that the “Turtle” has grown a spine and developed a sense of integrity until he backs up his words with action.
