Once a RINO, always a RINO…
After President Trump pardoned all J6 political hostages yesterday, Sen. Mitch McConnell was quick to speak out against it.
He slammed President Trump’s decision as a “disgraceful misuse of presidential power” and

JUST IN From The Hill:
Former Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) criticized President Trump for pardoning roughly 1,500 people who were arrested during the Jan, 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, including some who harmed police. At least 600 insurrectionists were formally accused of assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement.
“No one should excuse violence. And particularly violence against police officers,” McConnell told Semafor in an article published Tuesday.
He echoed Vice President Vance’s remarks in a “Fox News Sunday” interview earlier this month, during which he said only those who “protested peacefully” should be pardoned, adding “if you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”
McConnell’s comments come months after he stepped down from Senate leadership, however fellow GOP members still say his voice will be influential for the party in the new legislative cycle.
Mediaite added:
Over the course of President Donald Trump’s time in politics, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has at different times been a sharp critic and a compliant ally. On Tuesday, he was once again in the former category, issuing a pointed condemnation of Trump’s sweeping pardons of the January 6 rioters.
Within hours of taking the oath of office, Trump had signed off on pardoning approximately 1,500 people, commuting the sentences of eight more, and directing the Department of Justice to dismiss with prejudice (meaning the cases cannot legally be re-filed) any remaining indictments for the rioters. Those to be set free by Trump’s actions include those convicted of violently assaulting police officers, and the ringleaders of the attack on the Capitol who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, such as far-right leaders like Enrique Tarrio of the Proud Boys and Stewart Rhodes of the Oath Keepers.
I think it’s time for Mitch to retire.
