McConnell is a piece of work the likes of which I hope we never, ever see again.
Yes two-faced doesn’t begin to describe the man.
Good article on the subject here:
The House impeached Trump for a second time in his final days in office, but McConnell delayed starting the Senate trial until after Joe Biden was sworn in.
McConnell said the Senate was not meant to serve as a “moral tribunal” and said Trump could still be open to criminal prosecution.
“President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he’s in office,” McConnell said. “He didn’t get away with anything yet.”
House majority leader Nancy Pelosi criticized McConnell’s remarks in a press conference on Saturday and said the issue of timing “was not the reason that he voted the way he did; it was the excuse that he used.”
“For Mitch McConnell – who created the situation where it could not have been heard before the 20th, or even begun before the 20th in the Senate – to say all the things he said, oh my gosh, about Donald Trump and how horrible he was and is, and then say, ‘But that’s the time that the House chose to bring it over’ — Oh, no. We didn’t choose. You chose not to receive it,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi was also critical of the “cowardly” Republicans who voted against impeachment after the attack.
“I salute the Republican Senators who voted their conscience and for our Country,” Pelosi said. “Other Senate Republicans’ refusal to hold Trump accountable for igniting a violent insurrection to cling to power will go down as one of the darkest days and most dishonorable acts in our nation’s history.”
She repeated that members of the mob chanted “hang Mike Pence,” referring to the vice president’s role in overseeing the electoral count.
“And they just dismissed that.” Pelosi said. “Why? Because maybe they can’t get another job. What is so important about any of one of us? What is so important about the political survival of any of one of us than our constitution that we take an oath to protect and defend?”

I believe he is nearly as much to blame as Trump is, so it’s no wonder he wants to avoid the conclusion that a politician can be held accountable. Gotta make sure he goes on about Trump some more though, and maybe we’ll forget how strongly McConnell enabled him.

Opinion: Trump left them to die. 43 Senate Republicans still licked his boots.
