'I'm bitter': Ex-senator furious there was no accountability for Trump

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is still angry over the lack of accountability Donald Trump will experience for attempting to overthrow the 2020 election and allegedly inciting a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, McCaskill confessed, "I'm bitter."

"Today was certainly a bittersweet day, and candidly, I'm bitter," McCaskill told Wallace. "I mean, I'm bitter that a higher political price wasn't paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6th. Something is broken, and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicole, is that Donald Trump didn't win 50% of the votes."

Trump received 49.9% of the vote, while Kamala Harris received 48.4%. Jill Stein and Robert Kennedy each received 0.5%.

McCaskill said this indicates an evenly divided public.

Meanwhile, "a chunk of those folks that voted for Donald Trump ignored everything except the fact that they don't like the status quo. The anti-incumbency thing is real. It's real all over the world. The hangover from COVID and the inflation and the pain that people felt, and frankly, a lot of the immigration patterns around the world have made people feel like things are out of control, and they didn't want the status quo."

She went on to say that many of the people she speaks to make it clear they don't believe much of what Trump does and that they don't want many of the people he is appointing to his Cabinet.

There are still civil suits against Trump for the Jan. 6 attack.
