Mitch McConnell launched into a scathing speech on the Senate floor, defending himself against accusations that he aided Russian efforts to meddle in the 2020 elections by opposing an election-security bill that only one House Republican voted for
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday launched into a scathing speech on the Senate floor, defending himself against accusations that he aided Russian efforts to meddle in the 2020 elections by opposing an election-security bill that only one House Republican voted for.
In his speech McConnell said an “Outrage Industrial Complex” has spread the narrative that he is a threat to election security because certain pundits and columnists cannot accept that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation did not turn up evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. He accused MSNBC of hosting “conspiratorial voices” and called a Washington Post column by Dana Milbank that branded him a “Russian asset” a “shameful smear.
“This Administration has made huge strides on election security since 2016,” McConnell said. “They made a noticeable impact in securing the 2018 election and are vigilant and proactive as we head into 2020.”
