Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking, the NY Times reports. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Trump with inciting violence against the country.

At the same time, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader and one of Trump’s most steadfast allies in Congress, has asked other Republicans whether he should call on Trump to resign in the aftermath of the riot at the Capitol last week, according to three Republican officials briefed on the conversations.

While Mr. McCarthy has said he is personally opposed to impeachment, he and other party leaders have decided not to formally lobby Republicans to vote “no,” and an aide to Mr. McCarthy said he was open to a measure censuring Mr. Trump for his conduct.

  1. This is coming from the New York Times quoting anonymous sources. That is about as reliable as a trashy supermarket tabloid .

  2. Once again I heard what the president said. So with no insightment whatsoever. In fact he made sure to specify that it needed to be peaceful.

    Furthermore, it seems the timeline doesn’t match. While the rent a mob was in the Capitol building, the president was still speaking apparently.

  3. Matzav, the editorial in your headline undermines the reporting of the news facts that you are trying to do.
    Also, why is he a turncoat. Could it be that (chas v’shalom) Trump was wrong and took things too far…? Sorry for this kefira… (or maybe the bigger kefira is being botayach in him more than we are in Hasshem and holding his words as truth with a a greater intensity than we hold the words of our gedolim…)

  4. if everybody is a turncoat you have to begin and ask yourself what kind of man inspires such “disloyalty”. a sniveling coward deserves no loyalty

  5. Trump has the 2024 Republican nomination for the asking, and he would lead the Republican Party to a historic blowout loss. McConnell knows this. McConnell also knows that if Trump is impeached and convicted, he can never hold any public office ever again. Impeaching and convicting Trump may be essential to saving the Republican Party.

    • Trump is b”H very successful in draining the swamp from the US and globally and cannot leave before it’s all complete. If he doesn’t finish the coronavirusing now, the swamp will increase again ch”v for another 1,000 years. Moshiach is waiting desperately for the tumah and immorality to be removed from the planet, so Trump cannot leave in the middle.

  6. Maybe it has something to do with McConnell’s CHINESE wife? She bailed out of the administration last week. I guess Beijing wants to protect their own.

    • A bit of fiction. What if instead of CHINESE it would say JEWISH, and that “Tel Aviv wants to protect its own”? Matzav, by allowing this post you’re really becoming as bigoted as some of the “patriots” who stormed the Capitol last week. What about the “Torah Jewry” whose voice you allegedly represent? C’mon.
