Conciliatory Speech By McConnell On The Senate Floor

 Here's a quote from The Independent:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned the deadly mob attacks on the Capitol earlier this month and said the riots were “provoked” by President Donald Trump during a speech on the Senate floor Monday afternoon.

“The last time the Senate convened, we had just reclaimed the Capitol from violent criminals,” Mr McConnell said. "The mob was fed lies, they were provoked by the president and other powerful people...But we pressed on. We stood together and said an angry mob would not get veto power over the rule of law in our nation, not even for one night."

McConnell has been reported as being apoplectic with rage at the desecration of his beloved Capitol building, where he has worked for the last 40 years. He's been distancing himself from Trump, and this latest episode could indicate that he might vote against Trump in the impeachment hearing. If he does, you can bet he's not doing it as a lone wolf: He will have spoken with Senate colleagues to influence them to vote the same way.

Trump could get convicted in the Senate -- hope springs eternal!
