Mitch McConnell Puts Party Loyalty Over Moral Integrity

In a recent interview, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell admitted that he will back Donald Trump if he wins the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2024 presidential election despite his disdain for the former President’s role in the attempted insurrection on January 6th. McConnell explained that he has an obligation to his party regardless of any moral faults or disagreements he may have with the candidate.

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell may have said Donald Trump was “practically and morally responsible” for the Jan. 6 insurrection, but he admits there is nothing the former president could do that would cause him not to support Trump if he’s nominated in 2024.

In a new interview, the Kentucky Republican told Axios.com reporter Jonathan Swan that his obligation “to support the nominee of my party” extends to Trump despite the vast evidence suggesting the former president conspired to overthrow the 2020 election.

McConnell has made similar comments about supporting a Trump bid in 2024, but his most current comments came after Swan asked McConnell about his “moral red lines.”

“Help me understand this,” Swan said. “I watched your speech last year in February on the Senate floor after the second impeachment vote for Donald Trump.”

Swan was surprised that McConnell could support a man he called “morally responsible” for an attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“After you said that about him, I think it’s astonishing!” Swan said.

“I think I have an obligation to support the nominee of my party,” McConnell explained."
