McConnell Says He Plans To Listen To Evidence On Impeachment | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Someone should give him a hearing aid then
What is there to listen to? Everyone saw the effing speech!
The Biden crime family has been operating with impunity for some time now because of the mainstream media know-nothings..
@Richard Batchelder Pure deflection. The standard right wing “What about…” Biden was investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee led by Republicans. They publicly stated they found nothing illegal. So are they now the “deep state” too?
@CherBear Ok so Adam Schiff lying about Russian evidence isn’t impeachable? How about Schumer standing on the supreme court steps and threatening conservative judges? How about Maxine Waters, Pressley, AOC, Kamala, Talib, Omar, all have openly supported the violence by BLM this past summer. You can impeach Trump when the rest of these corrupt losers have their trial.
@CherBear God forbid anyone ever questions election integrity in a year when we experienced massive mail in balloting which we all know is ripe with fraud.. You realize the dems have done the same thing each time a republican has won the presidency? Did they incite violence too? The man said March peacefully to the capital, he did tell them to go storm the place. I’ve heard much worse out of Nancy Pelosi, chicky Schumer, Maxine waters and the list goes on and on.
The votes in the senate at the impeachment hearing should be cast
as secret ballots. That’s the only way Republican senators will be free
to vote their conscience, without fear from the right wing lunatic nutjobs
who * STILL !!! * support President Blowhard.
Gop such cowards. I am so disappointed at these men.
@SCOTUS says BidenWon the Democrats ARE the fascist party
True
They are coward boys
FAKE FAMILY VALUES REPUBLICAN TWO FACED EVIL BIGOTS
Repugz are not men Period..!! They are drumps lil maggots who needs to see him to exist.. Wot has he got on these no balls creatures.. I wonder if their family is proud of them being spineless lackeys running behind a failed corrupt bizness conman..
Mc turtle isnt going to do anything
The inmates are taking over the asylum and the guards are giving them the keys to do it… 😂😂
Longtime,haven’t you notice,a madman ran you’re country
Like exactly happened on 1/06/2021.
Jolayne so glad you feel as I do. News reports absolute insanity. I wish President Biden or Vice President Harris would reassure our nation that JUSTICE will prevail.
Yes, the rise of fascism in Gov. and the country is in Americans faces.
What ARE the republicans willing to do against a next 01-06? I think NOTHING!!!
They’re telling us that Clearly. They openly support a coup.
@J C. Yes they do. Clearly they’re hoping the next one will succeed and they won’t have to worry about pesky elections ever again.
Don’t believe a word Moscow Mitch says.
GO NINERS!
@Jan Hankins It’s the game that mitch is playing when he could’ve brought the senate back before Jan 19 a day before trump leave office so the other reps could. say what good is it to impeach someone that’s not in office anymore so the reps would not be on record for vote to or not impeach trump keeping the party untied and not being afraid of trump supporters he needs to be impeached for what he has done too this country and the truth needs to be said about the election Biden won it and it was out right fait and we should come together as people of the United States Of America
I concur. The media and people should stop believing in liars. They don’t mean what they say. It’s all a distraction. We have been through this for four years, and people still fall for this simple trick?
The Biden crime family has been operating with impunity for some time now because of the mainstream media know-nothings..
@matthewabl n Oleg Deripaska is a Russian Oligarch, and intimate of Putin’s. He is also a close associate of Mitch McConnell’s. Prior to Trump becoming president, Mr. Deripaska was a prohibited person in the US, because of his close ties to Putin, and to Russian Intelligence. His prohibited status was lifted by Trump, once he became president. Mr. Deripaska then ‘invested’ $200,000,000 in Kentucky. Coincidental, no doubt!!!
This man is not to be trusted, constantly flip flops then falls in line🤨
Are you talking about Mitch or Joe?
I wonder if he ever reflects on the past and regrets letting the crazy in his party in the first place. I have been saying this was coming since they got the “tea party” wing in the GOP. This seemns like the natural progression of being okay with having an extremist faction into your party, they say, “lets meet half way” and take two steps back when you step forward…and they say again “Let’s meet half way”….
As the fable implies, they aren’t ever going to actually meet you half way, and that is where the GOP have found themselves not only doing this to the Democrats, but also doing so within their own party with the extremist who outright deny reality and won’t accept a fact based world… You just can’t have that be a sustainable way of governance, nonetheless a stable way to run a political party.
@Isaac Mirage worse
McConnell’s a coward and he should’ve been voted OUT !!!
Bought by dark $$$ – INVESTIGATE !!!
Still waiting for that fall in line part..seems to me he still thinks he runs the country..not convicting trump this time will NOT bode well for him..or his criminal party..prepare for more protests n marches n bs..
The GOP is setting the bar… They’re doing the limbo!
They can’t limbo with the bar rolling on the ground.
Sign the petition @ Move on dot org. Remove 147 republicans from office for violating the 14th amendment. Those who swear an oath shall not participate or aid in a rebellion or insurrection against the United States or their own public office.
Yes, there does seem to be a double standard.
Republicans, believe that the following are not impeachable offenses if done by a Republican president:
> attempting to bribe a foreign government to get dirt on a political rival
> impairing our National Security
> obstruction of Justice
> obstruction of Congress
and now
> inciting insurrection
But they do believe, for a Democrat president, the following is an impeachable offense, as they demonstrated back in 1998:
> a president receiving a consensual BJ from a woman not his wife and wanting to keep it secret.
SMH !
@Dan A limbo behind bars, not under the bar.
Isn’t it nice, Mitch, that there will be evidence?
Don’t forget witnesses.
Very well said. Unfortunately, the majority of Repubicans will not even understand what is meant by your statement.
We’ve seen how that always worked in the past 4 yesrs & too often in the years before that!
Ffs stop acting like he’s in charge. Sit down and shut up McConnell.
@Kevin Jackson that’s if it’s a tie. They need 2/3 to convict that SEDITIONIST who formerly resided in OUR WHITE HOUSE , they need 17 GOP, they have 5 already. They may convince more, that’s up to the House to convince them.
@Uniquely Lily Agreed!
@Uniquely Lily Dems play too dam nice all the time but, I guess that’s the difference between class and the classless!!
@Gina Money It wouldn’t matter to the Reps or Right wingnuts!! They could see tRump live and in living color commit armed robbery and they would STILL say he DIDN’T do it and then call it ” Fake News”!!
The disgusting thing is if this were Clinton or Obama the Reps would call for a public execution!!
@Gina Money All the evidence are on public domain and what else do we need to hear from the insurrectionist cult leader Trump?
The hold Trump still has on the GOP can only mean that there is something he has on them….
For sure he has a lot on all of them
Ive always said that, there is something that they all did together and Trump has that over their heads, that can be the only reason.
@studivan them choosing to put him up as a figurehead is all he needs on them. Now he’s stolen their voters and plans to use that against them. These people aren’t used to having to work out fight for anything. Trump has them terrified.
It is Love not hate
He showed them he can mobilize a terrorist mob to do his bidding. If the next coup succeeds they’ll never have to run for reelection ever again. They’re all in on becoming /creating the Fourth Reich because it benefits them (they never have to stand for election again… the poor will pay all the taxes and they can live in luxury and depravity and never face consequences of any kind so long as they swear undying fealty to the Fuhrer).
In 2001 the GOP chose America. In 2021 they’re choosing the terrorists and their leader.
I don’t trust Moscow McConnell as far as I can see in a snow blizzard.
@Lex Ruptor What lie? all mainstream media are in hands of democrats. So called Ministry of Truth from 1984.
Give me the facts, not fairytales about mysterious Russian hackers elected Trump 😂
@Patton Moore Again, show me the video.
Did you hear about project Veritas and how CNN sort news?
If mainstream media is your REALITY reality, I’m not gonna help you to escape from this fake world 😂
@R. P. McMurphy … please feel free to escape to your “alternative facts” bizarro universe, chucklehead… I have a feeling you’ve already been there for quite a while now…
He’s poison
The votes in the senate at the impeachment hearing should be cast

who * STILL !!! * support President Blowhard.
Why is Joe calling McConnell Majority Leader, dammit, he’s Minority Leader
@Emily Knight Schumer is now Senate majority. Now he needs to put them all in their place. I can’t imagine what 2022 or 2024 is going to be like. This whole crap is abhorrent. The Dems need to start getting things done, even if they split up bills to get a simple majority do it! They’re not going to convict him, unless there’s evidence we don’t know about. Of course some of those arrested may sing like birds against Trufmp to get a reduction in their sentence, so there’s that🤔
Tooblady yes he is minority leader but he still running the senate they are listen to him he is carrying two faces the majority leader is going to have to put his foot on Mitch and let him know who is running the show and the vice president should get ready because she is going to break many times because trump flunky will not give an inch.
@Tangela Carter thank you..shame we didnt get to Marjorie taylor green too🤬🤬🤬next time, if we can’t get her expelled before then..
@Uniquely Lily they’re already singing..begged for pardons bc they did what he asked them to do..plenty of video that can be shown at the trial..but..I have a feeling, if called and offered reduction of their own sentences that they will sing loudly n proudly..many feel betrayed by 45 so..
the video’s from 2019…dufus…
This is the same guy who refused to allow evidence into the first trial.
@Dixie Normis F. U.
@WRK Trump’s Favorite Voters!
@Dixie Normis their was a lot of it and would have been a lot more if it wasn’t destroyed
Untrustworthy.
You mean, of course, the first FRAUDULENT trial – a total abuse of the constitution. Right????
they should rename the GOP into: “Millionairs Swamp Club” Law and Order is only for others
@Hugo Choss Unfortunately, as a foreigner, I cannot participate.
“Laws are for The Poors”
Yes, man donate his pay to charity, I think it was a republican. Humor: Democrats end in rats; Republican end in I can.
Ytis that

how about nazis 2?
Who said he would not allow the impeachment until after the inauguration then claims it is unconstitutional to have a trial after inauguration day
In this trial, there will be witnesses. Let some of them be those who stormed the Capitol. They are already using as the defense Donnie told me to trash the Capitol.
@The Blade Donnie Osmand ?
