I feel sorry for Mitch McConnell. He knew what happened on January 6. He was there in the room with us. He was pleading for the National Guard. He [Mitch McConnell] said the president was responsible [for January 6] and then he would not hold him accountable. I never understand that. You mean his vote? I mean his vote and then his endorsement, and I don't even want to go into it. (21:38–32:54)
