Mere minutes after voting to acquit Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell took the Senate floor to make a strong case for ... why we should convict Donald Trump.

Except for some steaming mastodon dung at the end, it was a pretty good speech. (Here's the transcript.)

And you know what? He can take his meaningless platitudes and shove them wherever it would cause him the most pain and discomfort.

For four years, Mitch and Trump worked hand-in-hand to do as much as they possibly could to destroy our country

Some might say Mitch's speech was an act of cowardice, but not me. I, for one, think it was incredibly brave for the man who is the actual reason the trial didn't take place sooner to then stand up and say he couldn't vote to convict solely because the trial didn't take place sooner.

"There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day," said the man who had just voted to acquit, thus leaving open the possibility of Trump running again in 2024 and doing the exact same thing again.

The speech began, "January 6 was a disgrace." And it was.

So was yesterday's vote.

Mitch McConnell full well knows that what happened on and before January 6 was an attack on our entire constitutional system. He knows Donald Trump sent an angry mob to the Capitol building to murder him and overthrow the government. And yet, he still couldn't bring himself to vote for conviction.
