WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday delivered a scathing attack on fellow Republicans who were challenging Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, saying it could do great harm to America.

At the start of debate on certifying the Electoral College result, McConnell said: "We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of election on steroids." McConnell added, "The voters, courts, states, they've all spoken. If we overrule them it would damage our republic forever."

This is a man of value and patriot.
Is an American Cultural Revolution happenning now, or more excitingly an all-out civil war? I bet Dumpsters are all bluffing matters.
This crook guy should take responsibility for the Georgia failure. If he didn’t rejected the $2k stimulus to the average, story would be different. Just don’t know why he did so.
too late
Sen. McConnell would make a great POTUS (IF he wanted the job).
But as better POTASS
In the way of name calling convention of Trump McConnell is a loser, has been always a loser, and on top of everything an obstructionist! Good riddens, he would fade away soon into the 'Bad History Hall-of-Fame!
At last Mitch seems to get it, but the damage is done and he must accept part responsibility
finally ..,,where was this months ago ..the Republicans have wrecked themselves and are on the verge of wrecking the USA
Perhaps the Congressional members should listen to their hearts rather than follow a party line. Amazing but I agree with McConell. Raising cain now only hurts the United States image around the world. I am a retired US History teacher and yes, Mr. McConell, I coild have used the $2000.
