I will credit you with expanding upon the January 6 by including mitch the dick. He, above your orange ferengi, is the one I blame most for everything going to shit. mitch succeeded in finding someone weak-minded enough to go ahead and sign off on everything he put on the idiots table. donny must have thought one of those forms made it legal for him to incite a coup. Just like the idiot mitch got, he found out that didn't happen.

Yes, Mitch McConnell strongly criticized Donald Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, explicitly stating that Trump was "practically and morally responsible" for the insurrection.
Key details regarding McConnell's criticism include:
Public Rebuke: Following the Senate's vote to acquit Trump in his second impeachment trial in February 2021, McConnell gave a blistering speech on the Senate floor, calling the events a "disgraceful dereliction of duty" by the former president.
"Provoked" by Lies: On January 19, 2021, shortly after the attack, McConnell said on the Senate floor that the mob was "fed lies" and "provoked by the president and other powerful people".
Private Disdain: According to a 2024 book, The Price of Power, McConnell privately blasted Trump as "despicable," "stupid," and a "narcissist" in the aftermath of the election, and he wept while thanking his staff for surviving the attack.
2025 Action: In early 2025, after stepping down from leadership, McConnell again criticized Trump for promising to pardon convicted January 6 rioters, calling such actions a "mistake".
