Mitch McConnell

The people who stormed this building believe they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.

We urge you to take steps now to prevent a 'hunger cliff' that otherwise looms ahead when the Federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency Declaration (PHE) expires.

What we saw here on January 6 was an effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another. 165 have pleaded guilty to criminal behavior. My view is I would not be in favor of shortening any of the sentences…

President Biden was elected on the specific promise to govern and the middle steward our governing institutions and unite a divided country. The American people had heard President Biden a dead even Senate if the 50-50. I suggested…

You have Mitch McConnell saying states aren’t engaging in voter suppression. You have Joe Manchin saying that no one is going to be obstructed from voting. Well, people are being obstructed from voting. They’re being obstructed from voting…

the American people elected a Senate that is evenly split at 50-50. To the degree that President Biden received a mandate was to govern from the middle, steward our institutions and unite America. The President must not outsource this…

We're in the process of picking a President. And that new president ought to make this appointment, which will affect the Supreme Court, maybe for the next quarter of a century.

If you were back as the Senate Republican leader, and I hope you are, and a Democrat retires at the end of 2023, and there are 18 months, that would be the Anthony Kennedy precedent. Would they get a fair shot at a hearing, not a radical…

But to the extent that Senator Mitch McConnell and the Republicans have control over anything related to this confirmation, I think we should reasonably expect, based on recent history, that we could expect anything from them.

Well, we`ll have to wait to see what happened.

But this time, the election was not nine months away. It was literally 45 days away, literally. And Senator Mitch McConnell decided, yeah, all that stuff I decided about not confirming a justice in an election year, you can forget that.

Senator McConnell said he wasn`t going to allow President Obama`s to not only fill that Supreme Court seat. He wouldn`t even allow hearings for that seat.

The President must not outsource this important decision to the radical left.

Well, we would have to wait and see what happens.

In the course of the campaign, various Republican candidates will come out for what they will do what they`re for. That`s always an important part of every election. But make no mistake about it. The election this fall is a referendum on…

Once the Russians have grabbed a piece of Ukraine or tried to overthrow the entire government, it`s really too late. So, my advice to the President and his team from the very beginning was, let`s do the following things and do them now…

There is no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.

There`s no question done, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.

Well, the concern is misplaced because if you look at the statistics African-American voters are voting in just as high percentage as Americans. This is not a problem.

That is a very good question. And I`ll let you know when we take it back.

The concern is misplaced, because, if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high percentage as Americans.

If Republicans take back control of Congress after the midterms, what would be your agenda? That is a very good question. And I will let you know when we take it back.

Instead, they have been consumed by a fake panic over election laws that seems to exist only in their own imaginations. This party line push has never been about securing citizens’ rights, it’s about expanding politician’s power. That’s…

If you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high percentage as Americans.

The partisan election takeover bills Democrats want to ram through this week are not in any way successors of the civil rights legislation from the mid-20th century.
