Mitch McConnell’s new game

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

We are hearing from soon to be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell about the events of January 6, 2021, a day that will live in infamy. Remember that McConnell is a member of the Gang of 8, who gets intelligence briefings and has an appreciation of what really took place.

On Tuesday, McConnell issued the following statement: “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government, which they did not like.”

As we have often written about the man, the con is always on. He literally has the word “con” in the middle of his name. This is the same guy who refused to hold an impeachment trial or do anything to deal with the people that he knows helped to instigate the insurrection. But perhaps that he knows whatever he learned from the briefings and evidence, he can find others in his party to vote to convict Trump in the impeachment and to ban him from ever holding office again.
