Mitch McConnell

Mitch McConnell is trying to make the farce, I mean, trying to make it a joke.

the idea that the House managers couldn't even present their evidence without a vote from the full Senate, something that's completely new, that was not true in the Clinton trial.

I'm not an impartial juror. This is a political process. It is noting in judicial about it. Impeachment is a political decision. The House made a partisan political decision to impeach. I would anticipate we'll have a largely partisan…

Everything I do doing this, I'm coordinating with White House counsel. There will be no difference between the president's position and our position as to how to handle this.

Why are they holding it because if they think that by holding it it's going to make me negotiate and give something away that I don't want to give away or maybe agree to witnesses that I don't want to agree to, that's not going to happen…

I'm not partial about this at all. This is a political exercise.

Mitch McConnell told the truth and said, I'm not partial. Yes, he told the truth, it's a rare thing in D.C.

Everything I do during this, I'm coordinating with White House counsel. We'll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel's office and the people who are…

Mitch McConnell is the person who has to control this process. He is the one who is going to run this trial.

This is the thing I have the least control over, when it starts in the U.S. Senate.

We've not had any conversations on that subject.

Socialist price controls will do a lot of left-wing damage to the healthcare system and of course we are not going to be calling up a bill like that.

It is regrettable that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff and Senator Schumer have chosen to politicize the issue.

No. The Senate Majority Leader has not endorsed any kind of legislation right now.

The Senate will put background checks 'front and center' after recess.

Don't scuttle this bill at the last minute. Use the money for something else. You made a promise to a man who is now gone. He gave you his badge, Luis Alvarez, do right.

Senator McConnell reacted by saying he supported funding, did not understand why Stewart was 'all bent out of shape.'

The president is weighing, quote, a measured response.

I don't think reparations for something that happened 150 years ago for whom none of us currently living are responsible is a good idea. We, you know, tried to deal with our original sin of slavery by fighting a civil war, by passing…

We've always dealt with that in the past in a compassionate way and I assume we will again.

This nomination ought to be made by the next president. The American people should have a say in the court's direction.

We understand the Russian threat, and I think that is the widespread view here in the United States among members of both parties.

if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order, following the remarks of our Democratic colleagues. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so…

a power grab by Democrats.

Leader McConnell telling the President that if he did, Congress might end up passing a resolution disapproving it which is forcing the President to contemplate for the first time vetoing legislation in the face of opposition from his own…
