"SNIP.....

Senate Majority Leader was asked multiple times by reporters about Trump’s senior citizen Antifa conspiracy theory, and he refused to answer.

McConnell said, Well, as I said what we’ve been talking about in the here Senate Republican Conference is what we think is appropriate to the events of the last two weeks.”

McConnell repeated himself when asked a second time, “As I said, we are discussing in the Senate Republican Conference is what response we think is appropriate to the events of the last two weeks.”

Asked McConnell if it was appropriate for Trump to tweet baseless theory about the Buffalo protestor who was injured by police. "As I said, what we are discussing in the Senate Republican Conference is what response we think is appropriate to the events of the last two weeks."

the questions about trump, the more they will have to answer for in November. Covering up for trump is not going to help them.

Of course if trump has dirt on them they can't very well turn on him I guess! That would mean putting putting country before trump, and they don't seem to want to do that for some reason.
