Mitch McConnell ridiculed on MSNBC for pulling a disappearing act as all hell breaks loose for the GOP
MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart and former Republican National Committee head Michael Steele ganged up on now-Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Sunday morning for "disappearing" from public view as Donald Trump's impeachment trial nears and the GOP is being put on the spot over the antics of controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
As Capehart put it, "You know, I mean, I've taken to calling House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy like the human weather vane -- one minute he's holding President Trump accountable, the next he's standing in the gilded gold at Mar-a-Lago and putting out a tweet that is just politically obscene. And then on the other side of the Capitol complex, in the Senate, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has gone -- he's missing. where's his voice?"
"Where is he, Steele?" the MSNBC host prompted.
"Probably having, you know, quiet time somewhere," Steele quipped. "I mean, he's done his piece. He's done his piece. He said, 'okay, y'all can do something with the impeachment if you want. Oh, no, no, we're going to vote against this because it's unconstitutional.' He's gone back and forth, which is what he's always done."
"What he's trying to do is hold as much ground as he can hold," the former Republican official elaborated. "For McConnell, it's about a position of power in the Senate and how he figures out how to hold those grounds to serve his caucus. He's not interested in anything related to Trump. He's not going to bring pressure on McCarthy or anyone else to do the right thing. You'll see that play out when this impeachment trial gets underway."
