Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said Sunday morning that "the courts are going to determine" whether President Donald Trump's executive order banning refugees and immigrants from certain countries from entering the United States has "gone too far."

"I think it's a good idea to tighten the vetting process," McConnell said on ABC's "This Week."

"But also then it's important to remember that some of our best sources in the war against radical Islamic terrorism are Muslims, both in this country and overseas," he added. "And we have had some difficulty in the past getting interpreters, as you mentioned in the earlier segment, who are helpful to us, treated properly."

"And yet right now they're being detained, so do you support this or do you not support this?" Martha Raddatz asked.

1. What a two-faced simpering weasel.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth
and basically saying nothing.

[bdamomma]

2. What coward he is

guilty to the gills he is he. you POS. Nice way to get off.

[beachbum bob]

3. mainstream conservatives were caught off guard...makes this all so much more comical

..........with much more to come

[C_U_L8R]

4. The courts did decide. It wasn't hard.

Now, Mitch. Are you going hold the Trump administration
accountable for defying the courts and the Constitution???

[Raster]

5. And endanger his wifey's next gig???

No. Comrade McTurtle has a black belt in "weathervane." He'll do only what he needs to do for HIS political survival, and at the time of HIS choosing.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

6. Another Republican sac-less coward

I hope every single one of these no balls wonders get slammed on social media and called the cowards they are. There needs to be MASSIVE protests and demonstrations at all these lawmakers offices and homes. Show them America is NOT going to take this happy horseshit!

[Bayard]

8. OMG! McConnell?

"But also then it's important to remember that some of our best sources in the war against radical Islamic terrorism are Muslims, both in this country and overseas," I can't believe he'd even say anything the least bit contradictory to Trump. He's my senator, (goddammit!). I at least get a canned answer back when I email Ryan (and unfortunately, put on his mailing list). From McConnell, no response.

I actually find this a bit encouraging. If we can get even a little twinkle from the hard-core's, maybe the tide will start turning.

9. And then his head slid back inside his shell...

Fucking Coward.

[kacekwl]

10. Apparently the Majority leader is waiting for his leader

$$$$$$ to give his position. COWARD

[Drahthaardogs]

11. Uh Mitch, they already did

Now have your boy Ryan tell Twitler to stand down or the House will draft Articles of Impeachment

[MurrayDelph]

13. They will impeach him

but not until they are either through plundering the country while our attention is elsewhere, or P45 starts getting in the way of them plundering further.

[MurrayDelph]

12. There are simply days when

I want to kick this treacherous fuckweasel in the balls so hard that his ugly little turtle neck would retreat so far into his torso that the pointy tip of my cowboy boots would be sticking out the tip of his lying little mouth.

But that would be wrong.






Besides condoning assault, there's the bigger problem: ever since my arches fell and I need orthotics, I no longer wear cowboy boots.
