“Well, you think our country is so innocent?” the president added.

CNN host Jake Tapper pressed McConnell about Trump’s remarks during a Sunday interview.

“He is a former KGB agent, a thug, not elected in a way that most people consider a credible election,” McConnell said of Putin. “No, I don’t think there is any equivalency with the way the Russians conduct themselves and the way the United States does.” But the Senate Majority Leader refused to rebuke Trump for the remarks.

“Look, Jake, I can speak to myself and I have about my feelings for Vladimir Putin,” he told Tapper. “I’m not going to critique every utterance of the president.”

1. Don't worry Mitch, your day is coming.

You'd better agree with everything Trump or your going to be attacked by him.
I hope your skin isn't as thin as his or it's going to be a long four years.

2. Mitch, the cat may have got your tongue on this "utterance",

but your decision to strip Obama, a constitutional scholar who twice won the presidency by both popular and electoral vote, and hand it over to this ignorant, amoral Putin loving and pussy grabbing piece of filth speaks volumes about your lack of integrity or regard for the nation's well-being.

3. Wonder if he'd have had the same response if President Obama had stated such a thing?

Really doubt it.

7. No shit.

4. McConnell is in with the Russian too somehow

He's had several chances to push back and hasn't done it.

Or he's that completely unprincipled.

Not thing is good about him.

5. And anyone is surprised?

He is a master of pulling his head back into his shell. It's not even a matter of having a spine or guts. It's turtle boy avoiding any action on anything at anytime for anyone. He is just a hollow shell.

6. "What do you expect me to say? Trump has my balls in his coin purse."

8. Go hide in your shell you f*cker

just don't ever come back out. Where's the welding machine?

9. Hey Mitch, you are part of the problem! So STFU!
