"McConnell and his allies are trying to launder their reputations. McConnell’s excuse is contained within a deeply reported New York Times narrative account of Trump’s election challenge. Apparently, McConnell was duped by Trump and his wily son-in-law: The senator was also under a false impression that the president was only blustering, the officials said. The senator’s top political adviser, Josh Holmes, had spoken with Mr. Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser -- they would pursue all potential avenues but recognized that they might come up short. Mr. Trump would eventually bow to reality and accept defeat."
Basically, Moscow Mitch is claiming he was only going along with the election fraud stuff because he was assured by the White House that it was all just for funsies.... and eventually Trump would concede because Jared Kushner would steer his father-in-law away from all of the scary stuff Trump was spouting on about....
Either Moscow Mitch is dumb for believing that or he is dumb if he thinks we believe him....He was on board with this bullshit until it was clear this attempt at overturning the election would fail.....if this coup attempt worked like what happened in Myanmar just this last week -- Mitch would be all on board....because the GOP's core policy is to do anything no matter how insane; just to hold onto power for power's sake....then play victim when it blows up in their face..
