Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says that his mission is to stop Joe Biden’s administration.
During an appearance in McConnell’s hometown of Kentucky, McConnell was asked about the issue between House Republicans and Democrats after Rep. Liz Cheney condemned Donald Trump‘s comments on election and voter fraud this week. The Republican also answered questions about where he feels the GOP party is going. He says that he is “100 percent” focused on “stopping” Biden’s administration.
“One-hundred percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration,” McConnell said. “We’re confronted with severe challenges from a new administration, and a narrow majority of Democrats in the House and a 50-50 Senate to turn America into a socialist country, and that’s 100 percent of my focus.”
This all comes after Cheny urged Republicans to put an end to supporting and perpetuating Trump’s bald-faced lies about voter fraud and election fraud, saying the GOP Party must “steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality.” She went on to say that the Republican Party “is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution,” Cheney wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post.
Since then, House Republicans, including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Minority Whip Steve Scalise, have been trying to remove her as House Republican Conference chair. NBC News reports that a motion to remove Cheney could be filed as early as May 12, when the House is back in session.
