One of Congress’s most powerful Republicans apparently feels powerless in the face of Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Sitting for an interview with CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained that he didn’t see any other option than to endorse the GOP presidential nominee—despite having made previous declarations against Trump, including blaming him for the violent events that unfolded on January 6.

“The issue is, what kind of influence, even if I had chosen to get involved in the presidential election, what kind of influence would I have had?” McConnell said after insinuating he was duty-bound as the most powerful Republican in the Senate to support the candidate that Republican delegates voted for.

    “I have no power to stop this” says man who refused to even try to use the ACTUAL POWER HE HAD stop this

    Fuck off and die McConnell, preferably in the most painful way possible. He refused to impeach the fucker, so this is just whining to try to protect his legacy, but this is 10000% his fault.
