Has Mitch McConnell been struck by a Jewish space laser? by Dana Milbank

If McConnell isn’t willing to back up the honorable principles he expressed Monday with actions, he is the Republican leader in name only. Without actions, his words sound more like attempts to placate Republican donors who frown on scenes of political violence and talk of Jewish space lasers..It’s perhaps better late than never for McConnell to denounce Greenen ow, but this isn’t leadership. If he really wanted to do something about the “loony lies” gripping the Republican Party, if he really wanted to defend Cheney’s courageous stand on impeachment, he would move his fellow Republicans to convict Trump for inciting the Capitol insurrection with his lies, conspiracy theories and violent words.
