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.

'Fed lies!': Juror McConnell Pins MAGA Riots On Trump, With A Catch | The Beat With Ari Melber
Scientists have long suspected that certain sub-species of turtles in the
course of their lives are sometimes able to develop human-like testicles.
You got a laugh out of me with that one. 🙂
That is to funny
LMAO

Wow. Moscow Mitch has a “conscience”. Yeah. Riiight.
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.
@Jeremy Hoe I completely agree.

Cultural reference.
Breaking News! Breaking News! Moscow Mitch aka The tUrtle is ratting out his old boss, Donald tRump!
Never saw that coming….says nobody but Trump himself.
I will believe him when he votes to impeach and resigns.😡😷🇨🇦
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.
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.

Ur a moron
@Dennis Vance have you looked in the mirror lately.
@Marian Lincoln relax Clinton lover
Biden will be impeached on the first day.

The fleas are now jumping off of a dead dog.
And are we surprised
@Christian Heckmann Engelbrecht: Could that be a cultural reference with a Hollywood production connection?
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.
@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.
@OG Original Grandma There definitely appears to be 2 types of “peaceful protests” being banties about here!
Have people forgot McConnell was part of spreading lies after the election?
They’re all gonna try to throw Trump under the locomotive by his lonesome, when they are all in this to their eyelashes
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.
Like the little snapping turtle he is, he kept his mouth shut until he had no choice but to open it and pick a side.

I’m sorry but that was funny! Made me think of that cartoon character, Cecile the turtle🤣
No Moscow Mitch we are not falling for that BS you backed Trump all the way for four years
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!
Mitch is like I wasn’t involved , I’m innocent
Fefv Ffgscb Is this another Billy Joel song?
Mitch must not wear a watch, the timeline doesn’t fit the narrative.
Wiggle room, more like squirming like the snake he is.
Mitch: “Are you sure he’s off Twitter cause I wanna start growing a spine now.” #girlbye

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.
@RAIDERxNATIONx818
That’s not how turnabout works, mate.
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!
All of the governors abused their power. That’s when the insurrection occurred. F mitch the snitch.
Why do some keep blaming everyone but Trump…he screwed maga so good. Like little pawns for the richboy.
@3lullabies He’s just a stupid MAGA troll. It’s time they learned, we are tired of the stupid.
I’m just waiting for Mitch to weep out a red saber and start saying “I am the Senate.”
And Moscow Mitch was one of the ones spreading those lies.
Don’t trust this snake. At any point someone with a backbone could have halted this madness. Did they? NO
I mean Mitt Romney did speak out against Trump pretty early
*”Sheathe your swords!”*
@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. 😈👍🇺🇸✌

He is just trying to whitewash 4 years of complicity and giving chump everything he wanted.
IMO, no one should ever be fooled by Mitch McConnell. He is never to be trusted.
No one has to trust McConnell to see his strategy. Obviously you dont!
“Moscow” Mitch gets to change his name at noon tomorrow. He shall now be known as “Minority” Mitch.

“Neither candidate will progress to the US Presidency.”
