With McConnell’s endorsement of Trump, it gives the green light to other remaining skeptical Republicans — and the deep-pocketed donors who fuel campaigns — to fall in line despite any reservations they may have about a return to the Trump era.

After the Jan. 6 attack of the Capitol, McConnell issued a grave rebuke of Trump’s behavior, blaming the defeated president for spreading “wild” claims of a stolen election.

While McConnell refused to convict Trump in the Senate trial on House impeachment charges of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, which could have left him ineligible to serve again as president, he warned that Trump was not immune from civil or criminal prosecution once he left the White House.

      T**** just forced him out as Republicunt senate leader. I was not really expecting an endorsement, Bitch seemed to loathe him. Maybe he demanded both, lol.

      Gonna be fun to watch them all get on their knees and kiss the ring, only for him to lose again. Hope Biden sends some real firepower to their second coup attempt.
