‘Mitch’s got nothing’: McConnell pummeled for defending Trump from House impeachment

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) condemned the House impeachment of President Donald Trump, and he was widely criticized for his biased defense.

The Kentucky Republican complained the impeachment inquiry was too short, and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation too long, and accused House Democrats of impeaching on the basis of historically weak evidence -- although he's not willing to hear any more testimony in the Senate trial.

McConnell's remarks were met with swift rebuke.
