Mitch McConnell explains why I will still support Donald Trump
Donald Trump has launched a personal attack on former National Security Council Director Fiona Hill following an interview with the New York Times in which a Russian expert accused him of “pulling Putin” after the 2020 election.
In a furious statement, Mr Trump said that if Mrs Hill did not have a British accent, “she would be nothing”.
Mr Trump, meanwhile, raised his eyebrows, approving Dr. Mehmet Oz to represent Pennsylvania in the US Senate. “I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as well as many others, if only through his very successful television show,” Mr Trump said in a statement. “He has lived with us across the screen and has always been popular, respected and smart.”
The announcement outraged many conservatives, including a previous Trump-backed candidate for the post.
“I have great respect for President Trump,” tweeted Sean Parnell, who dropped out of the race in November. “It simply came to our notice then. Oz is the opposite of everything that made Trump the best president of my life – he is the most distant thing from America in the first place and would be very bad for the PA. “

The South Dakota Attorney General is impeachment over the fatal crash
The House of South Dakota on Tuesday impeached Attorney General Jason Ravensborg over a car crash in 2020 that killed a pedestrian, but initially said he may have hit a deer or other large animal.
Ravensborg, a Republican, was the first impeachment officer in South Dakota history. He will be removed, at least temporarily, pending a historic Senate trial, where a two-thirds majority is needed to convict him of impeachment charges. The Senate has to wait at least 20 days to hold the trial, but has not yet set a date.
Last year, Ravnsborg did not dispute several road violations in the crash, including an illegal lane change. He described the death of Joseph Bower as a tragic accident.
In a close vote to impeach Ravensborg, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives accused him of committing crimes that caused someone’s death, making “numerous misconceptions” of law enforcement officers after the crash, and using his office to navigate criminal law. investigation. A Senate verdict would mean that Ravnsborg would be banned from holding any public office in the future.
“When we deal with the lives of one of your citizens, I think it weighs on everyone,” said Republican Representative Will Mortenson, who introduced the members to impeachment.

Marsha Blackburn scoffs that Tennessee residents want a wall on “our” border
GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn entertained more than a few of her followers on Twitter on Tuesday when she insisted her residents wanted a wall on “our” border, apparently given the U.S. border with Mexico.
