Mitch McConnell is a putz!
Mitch McConnell did us a favor. Trump may very well have invoked the Insurrection Act on Jan. 6th. There are several conditions to that act.
Must have an insurrection, unruly crowd, possibility of violence.
The president has to order the "insurrection mob" to be peaceful and return home.
The president then has to give the mob a chance to disperse peacefully.
Trump gave a speech Jan. 6th saying exactly those things. Mitch is just ensuring that it's documented that it was a " violent insurrection " which justifies triggering the Insurrection Act. I prefer to think that McConnell is controlled at this point.
