Mitch McConnell Blasted For Saying He'd Back Trump In 2024 Just Weeks After Condemning Him

Let's be frank. Voters in the United States are tired of feckless, waffling politicians.

That places certain politicians in the hot seat right now, especially if your name is Mitch McConnell.


In the past few weeks, the Senate Minority Leader has performed a complete 180-degree turn on his statements about former President Donald Trump as a leader.

Just weeks ago, regarding Trump's second impeachment for inciting the insurrection and storming of the US Capitol, McConnell called Trump "morally responsible" for the attack.

He seemed to believe at the time Trump deliberately incited the violence of the Trump supporters who stormed the building in an attempt to keep then-President-Elect Joe Biden out of office. Their actions resulted in five deaths during the insurrection and was cited as the cause of two additional deaths in the days following the MAGA riot.

In response, Trump spoke out against McConnell, stating:

"[He is] a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack."

In the days since, McConnell has completely transformed his outlook on the former President.

Again.

He went so far as to state he would support Donald Trump if he were to run again during the next Presidential election and become the Republican nominee.

So much for consistent messaging, right?

Just this week, McConnell shared his opinion of the Republican party.

"There's a lot to happen between now and '24. I've got at least four members that I think are planning on running for president... Should be a wide open race."

When asked if he would support Donald Trump if he were to become the Republican candidate, McConnell said:

"The nominee of the party? Absolutely."

In the past few days, McConnell has been reluctant to answer questions surrounding the insurrection or his previous statements about Trump.

Instead, he's showing a preference for living in the moment and looking toward the future.

McConnell optimistically stated:

"My point is what happened in the past is not something relevant now. We're moving forward. We've got a new administration."

It sounds like someone has changed their tune, at least for the moment.

But McConnell's inconsistent viewpoints have not gone unnoticed by Twitter.




Some pointed out what McConnell's inconsistencies said about his character.



It seems McConnell now wants to focus on preparations for the next presidential campaign.

But what he'll say between now and then? That's anybody's guess.

GOP Rep. Ousted From Chairmanship By Trump Calls Out Colleagues For Russian Propaganda In Resurfaced Clip

Speaking to anchor Jake Tapper on CNN last April, Ohio Republican Mike Turner said that Russian propaganda had "infected" the GOP in a clip that has resurfaced after President-elect Donald Trump had him ousted as House Intelligence Committee chair.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
