Republican leader Mitch McConnell will be remembered for his role as one of the key enablers of Trump during his volatile presidency.
Then like everyone else, he was chewed up and spit out like an old piece of gum. McConnell consistently defended Trump's behavior and actions to push forward an extreme far-right agenda. He played a significant role in covering up some of Trump's most egregious actions and crimes.
Even during Trump's first impeachment trial, McConnell made it clear that he would not vote to convict, signaling his unwavering support for the former president. Reports suggest that McConnell was actively coordinating with the White House to ensure that the impeachment vote failed, further cementing his loyalty to Trump over upholding the principles of justice and accountability.
Overall, McConnell's legacy will be tarnished by his staunch defense of Trump and his actions, prioritizing political expediency over principles of democracy and the rule of law.
