"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..."

"McConnell has been sending some mixed messages himself about how he might vote leaving open the possibility that he could vote to convict."

"Winners make policy and losers go home."

"Mitch said to me, he wants Trump gone. It is in his political interest to have him gone."
