McConnell is so full of it. He could have ended Trump's career and upheld democracy, but it would have made life hard for him and his party so he chose not to.
Exactly. He also didn't care when Trump called for violence against political opponents, wanted to deport sitting members of congress back to "where they came from" or called literal nazis fine people, as long as he was getting his right-wing judges, tax cuts and deregulation. Or when Trump bribed a foreign government for dirt on political opponents, something they would have impeached Obama for in a second.
Yeah, if anything 5/1 alienated McConnell from Trump a lot more than 6/1.
