Senate Majority Leader's (R-Ky.) reelection campaign is seizing on the fight over impeachment, pledging in Facebook ads that he will lead Republican efforts to stopfrom being removed from office.
's in the clutches of a left wing mob. They finally convinced her to impeach the president. All of you know your Constitution, the way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority with me as majority leader," McConnell says in an ad that began running on Thursday.
"But I need your help. Please contribute before the deadline," McConnell continues in the ad.
The decision, which followed months of pressure from progressives, came following reports of a whistleblower complaint alleging Trump urged the Ukranian government to investigate former Vice President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
McConnell, who has tied himself closely to Trump as he runs for reelection in the deeply red state, doesn't address the allegations surrounding the president's communication with Ukraine in the roughly 17-second video.
The GOP leader, along with most of his caucus, have remained silent despite the growing scrutiny on the president this week.
McConnell's campaign, according to Facebook's ad library , began running the digital ads with the video on Sept. 27, three days after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) formally announced that House Democrats would launch an impeachment inquiry.In one caption for an ad that has run since Sept. 30, McConnell's team argues that a "conservative Senate Majority is the ONLY thing stopping Nancy Pelosi from impeaching President Trump. Donate & help us keep it."

If you look beyond all of our assumptions that "Of course he's going to block it, he's a partisan hack who puts party over country every damn time..."
This is him saying he doesn't care about what whistleblowers have revealed, doesn't care about what the inquiry might find, doesn't care about the impeachable offenses Trump may have committed (and those he's already committed). He's already made up his mind. He's going to ignore all evidence and say "No" regardless of the results of the inquiry. He's going to protect a criminal from receiving any consequences for his actions because that criminal has an "R" next to his name on the ballot.
America will be a better place when McConnell no longer has any place in its governance.

We were right to be extremely skeptical of his talk about being required to hold a "trial." Moscow Mitch is the most duplicitous snake in the Senate - and that says so much more than I can express.

McConnell doesn't even know what crimes Trump has committed. He's promising to support him no matter what he's done or will do.
