‘Fed lies!’: Juror McConnell Pins MAGA Riots On Trump, With A Catch | The Beat With Ari Melber

Self-described "Grim Reaper" Mitch McConnell is now saying Trump "provoked" the insurrection that occurred at the Capitol, possibly providing new signs of how Trump's trial will go. MNSBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber points out that while McConnell went farther than most elected Republicans to blame Trump, he carefully used the word "provoke" instead of "incite." NYU law processor Melissa Murray and Dr. Jason Johnson both join to discuss the implications of this distinction. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 01/19/2021.

  1. Scientists have long suspected that certain sub-species of turtles in the
    course of their lives are sometimes able to develop human-like testicles.

    1. Hollow talk by Moscow Mitch. Will believe him when he cast his vote for impeachment of Trump. Don’t take your hope too high my friends.

    1. the turtle! ha ha ha! i always thought he looked like a bird (the old cartoon hen who liked Foghorn leghorn) ha ha turtle. Yep… nailed it.

    2. Jodi Johnson : I think Mitch’s “ tUrtle” nickname comes from his tUrtlish waffle neck & that he is slow to react and get any legislation enacted.

    1. Yea. Since calling for a “peaceful and patriotic March” is inciting violence in 2021.
      If I remember correctly peacefully protesting is protected by the constitution.

    2. @OG Original Grandma: Can I ask if you are coming down from a meth high? Is that where your version of reality happened? If you are totally aware you would know that white activists who murdered BLM protesters, who drove their vehicles in into crowds, who shot bullets, rubber bullets and paint balls, using pepper and bear spray and throwing bottles, were called peaceful protesters because they are Trump supporters. That’s when police officers who shot and killed unarmed black men were said to just be doing their job. Your constitution is now worth nothing, just like your participation in You Tube.

    3. @OG Original Grandma There definitely appears to be 2 types of “peaceful protests” being banties about here!

    1. They’re all gonna try to throw Trump under the locomotive by his lonesome, when they are all in this to their eyelashes

    2. He himself never actually stayed any of the lies. But he also didn’t do anything to stop GOP leaders from spreading those lies. He’s guilty by association and through inaction.

    3. @1 23
      I’m sorry but that was funny! Made me think of that cartoon character, Cecile the turtle🤣

    1. The trial needs to show all the evidence that this insurrection was PLANNED! It was a Conspiracy! Trump gave it the green light, 3 days before! The event’s, “organiser,” named names!

    1. Message to to all:
      DO NOT go to any Capitols for protest, IT IS A TRAP!
      I repeat IT IS A TRAP! There will be fake ” Trump supporters” aka Agitators present to stir up chaos.
      Stay safe and remain vigilant.

    2. We should be backing Moscow Mitch, and inundating the GOP with DEMANDS to Impeach trump to the end! And to Neutralise trump from politics, FOREVER!

    1. @Simon Quemo
      Right but Mitt kept quiet for a large chunk of Donald’s vile behavior so I don’t think Mitt deserves any credit for speaking out occasionally. Stay safe and be well. 😈👍🇺🇸✌
