I give him a lot of credit for saying what needs to be said.

WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., issued his
most striking condemnation of President Donald Trump after the attack
at the U.S. Capitol, saying the mob of protesters were “provoked by
the president.”

“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other
powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence,” McConnell
said on the Senate floor, casting a clear shot not only at Trump but
fellow Republicans who backed the president’s efforts to overturn
election results in several swing states.

Why would that offend me? I saw his speech (not on CNN, naturally) and agreed
with every word he said.

Unlike Schumer, Pelosi, Biden, and most other verbose liberals, he was trying to
narrow the divide between the two parties, not widen it.

I was proud of him for doing so.
