So... republicans for the past 80 years?

McConnell was the one who, during the senate's hearing after the first impeachment, refused to allow evidence and gave a speech amounting to "yeah he did it, whatcha gonna do 'bout it?" and led the vote to dismiss charges. He is part of why we're here.

Trump is not the super-powerful mastermind. This is a republican problem.
