Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is no fan of Donald Trump.

McConnell still represents a power center for the Never Trump establishment.

And you’ll be speechless when you see what Mitch McConnell said about President Trump.

CBS’ left-wing program 60 Minutes is the subject of a Federal Communications Commission investigation for election interference after the program deceptively edited an interview with Kamala Harris last October.

Yet that didn’t stop Mitch McConnell from appearing on the program so left-wing correspondent Lesley Stahl could gush all over McConnell.

Why would CBS and Stahl devote precious broadcast time to McConnell?

Simple.

McConnell hates Donald Trump.

McConnell voted against Pete Hegseth’s nomination to serve as Secretary of Defense.

McConnell will also likely vote against confirming Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Director of National Intelligence and Secretary of Health and Human Services respectively.

The source of McConnell’s ire with Trump is partly policy.

McConnell is the leader of the war monger caucus in the Senate and despises the fact that Donald Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine.

But McConnell is also a swamp loyalist who thinks Donald Trump should have faced criminal charges over the events of January 6.

McConnell told Stahl he hasn’t spoken to Trump in four years.

“Well, we haven’t spoken for quite a while. I was very upset about what happened January 6,” McConnell stated.

Stahl then asked McConnell about Trump and his supporters’ ability to debunk the media and Democrat Party hoax that Trump incited his followers to stage an insurrection.

“What are your views on President Trump and his supporters trying to change what happened on January 6? They’re calling it a ‘day of love.’ They called the rioters ‘martyrs.’” Stahl inquired.

McConnell clung to the falsehood.

“Yeah. No, it– it was an insurrection,” McConnell replied.

Stahl then asked McConnell about Trump correcting the injustice of Biden’s prosecutors weaponizing the law to hit January 6 defendants with overly harsh – and ultimately according to the Supreme Court – unconstitutional criminal charges.

McConnell attacked the January 6 pardons.

“I– I think pardoning the people who’ve been convicted is a mistake,” McConnell told Stahl.

After the Senate voted to acquit Trump in the January 6 impeachment hoax, McConnell delivered a speech on the floor of the United States Senate all but begging Joe Biden to prosecute Trump.

The Senate acquitted Trump because most Republicans believed it was unconstitutional to impeach Trump since he was out of office.

McConnell claimed impeachment was devised for this scenario.

“Impeachment, conviction, and removal are a specific intra-governmental safety valve. It is not the criminal justice system, where individual accountability is the paramount goal,” McConnell stated.

But McConnell said former officials were subject to the justice system.

“Indeed, Justice Story specifically reminded that while former officials were not eligible for impeachment or conviction, they were “still liable to be tried and punished in the ordinary tribunals of justice,” McConnell added.

And McConnell made it clear he thought Joe Biden should arrest and imprison Trump.

“We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former Presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one,” McConnell declared.

The easiest way for a Republican to become a hero in the media is to sell out conservatives.

That’s the path McConnell appears to have chosen for his final years in office.
