Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) known as out President Donald Trump for pardoning the Capitol rioters whereas revealing he has no longer spoken with the president for “rather ages.”

Hours after being inaugurated back into the Oval Office, Trump pardoned nearly 1,500 folks currently imprisoned for rioting at the Capitol on January sixth, 2021. Probably the most rioters have been convicted of violence against law enforcement.

All through a 60 Minutes interview with anchor Leslie Stahl on Sunday, the former Senate majority chief published that he has no longer talked to Trump for “rather ages” because he used to be upset over January sixth. McConnell then went on to call Trump’s recent pardons a “mistake.”

STAHL: How would you describe your relationship with President Trump?

MCCONNELL: Neatly, we haven’t spoken for rather ages. I was once very upset about what came about January 6.

…

STAHL: What are your views on President Trump and his supporters looking to alternate what happened on January 6? They’re calling it a “day of love.” They referred to as the rioters “martyrs.”

MCCONNELL: Yeah. No, it– it was once an rebellion.

STAHL: What about the pardons for the individuals who stormed the Capitol that day?

MCCONNELL: I– I believe pardoning the individuals who’ve been convicted is a mistake.
