Gives a pretty damning verdict on Trump:
(I boldened everything cuz these are pretty bold statements for McC after he stood by silently for rather long)
Basically agrees with the Dems on who's to blame, but then pulls a formal argument to go not guilty.
And what would that argument be? Oh, it's too late now, since Donnie isn't in office anymore.
Which comes after he personally decided to not agree to an earlier Senate trial before Donnie left office.
McConnell sharply criticized his former ally in a speech on the Senate floor shortly after Trump was cleared in a 57-43 vote, saying the rioters had been "fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth. Because he was angry he'd lost an election."
"Former President Trump's actions that preceded the riot were a disgraceful, disgraceful dereliction of duty," added McConnell. "Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day."
