Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (also known as “Moscow Mitch”) continues to outdo himself in the race to see how low he can go. During his last maneuver, which may be historically his most damaging yet, McConnell proved he can go lower by leading the GOP Senate into acquitting a guilty illegitimate president after Donald Trump was impeached, for life, in the House. Trump’s crime was holding back military aid from Ukraine unless they did a public investigation into Joe Biden and Biden’s son. In other words, Trump used his position, taxpayer’s time and money, to bribe, intimidate and abuse another country for his own personal gain and to cheat on the upcoming elections. This was proven again and again during House hearings.

Some say, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, that there was no acquittal because there “was no trial” due to the fact that there were no witnesses or evidence allowed. McConnell simply refused to hold a valid trial even though the majority of Americans wanted to hear from witnesses. This is yet another one of McConnell's blatant body politic over country acts—and it’s one of his most, if not the most despicable.

Author and Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote a piece in 2017 saying what, he believed, should be engraved onto McConnell’s tombstone. The quote has gone viral several times.

“By rights, McConnell’s tombstone should say that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I’d add a second line: ‘He broke America.’ No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of U.S. government. His has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power.”

Milbank more than supports his article. Here is an excerpt citing McConnell from 2010.
