McConnell vows to stop impeachment in fundraising video

Perhaps it is too late, because every top Republican is in too deep. Trump's game plan is not merely to smear Joe Biden, but to indict and arrest him or any Democratic nominee. What is to stop them? Trump takes out the Democratic nominee and McConnell works with Senate Republicans to stop any impeachment efforts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell vows to stop any Democratic push for impeachment in a social media campaign ad that he's using as a platform to raise campaign funds off the inquiry of President Donald Trump.

In the brief Facebook video, McConnell makes it clear that the Republican-controlled Senate with him in charge will be a firewall against efforts to remove Trump from office.

"All of you know your Constitution," McConnell says in the video. "The way that impeachment stops is with a Senate majority with me as majority leader."

The Senate leader, a steadfast Trump defender, avoided the impeachment issue during public appearances in his home state of Kentucky this past week.
