There are not a lot of redeeming qualities with Mitch McConnell already and here is another one that proves that he is nothing but a RINO.
Instead of taking a stand against the obvious voter fraud that occurred in 2020, McConnell tucks his tail to protect the status quo.
For example, during a press conference on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) appeared to criticize the Republican National Committee’s resolution that censored Representatives Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for serving on a House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack at the United States Capitol Building.

CNN’s lead congressional correspondent, Manu Raju, asked McConnell if it was “right” for the Republican National Committee to rebuke “two sitting members of Congress” and term the Jan. 6 attack “legitimate political dialogue.” McConnell said that it was “appropriate.”
In reference to the Jan. 6 election, McConnell said, “It was a violent uprising with the goal of preventing the peaceful transfer of power after a legitimately certified election from one administration to the next.” “Yes, that’s exactly what it was.”
“With regard to the suggestion that the Republican National Committee should be in the business of picking and choosing Republicans who should be supported, traditionally the view of the national party committees has been that we support all members of our party regardless of their positions on some issues,” he continued.

The Senate Majority Leader responded affirmatively when asked if he has trust in Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel: “I do, but the question is whether or not the RNC should be sorting out members of our party who may have different views from the majority.” That is not the responsibility of the Republican National Committee.”
