From CNN's Ali Zaslav, Manu Raju and Laurie UreSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to say whether President Trump's conduct was inappropriate when pressed multiple times by reporters at a news conference this afternoon after the Senate acquitted the President of both charges.
McConnell spoke about the political impact of impeachment saying it has been helpful for his members in difficult races. McConnell also said he was “surprised and disappointed” with GOP Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote to convict Trump on the first article of impeachment. “I can tell you this, right now, this is a political loser for them,” McConnell said, referring to Democrats. “They initiated it, they thought this was a great idea and at least for the short term, it has been a colossal political mistake."
Asked if he’s willing to concede if Trump did anything wrong, the Kentucky Republican dodged the question and said he wanted to talk about today and the"political impact of this.” Some of McConnell's GOP colleagues have said that it's“Listen, we voted,” McConnell said. “It’s time to move on ... as far as I’m concerned it’s in the rear-view mirror.”

Trump 2020
What the joke we are as a Country.
The purpose of this impeachment trial was never to successfully impeach, due to the obvious block voting but to expose him. The blocking of witnesses & documents is enough. Why prevent deep scrutiny if guiltless. This make Obama even more saintly.
What next when will this end the president lost it today gone off the deep end a wing nut when will this bomb go off in his head when this is worst than Andrews Jackson all American voters must go to the polls get this nut out of the white house please America looks bad to world
Trump 2020
He is unattached from reality! Does no one on earth see this? The man is not right in the head. If he was a regular person he would be in a mental institution. Geez this country is in shambles.
PAY ATTENTION DEMS RUSSIA WILL HELP BERNIE SANDERS WIN SO TRUMP CAN RUN AGAINST HIM
Lolololol whatever Lord Trump!
Gone too far... NOT EXONERATED. RethugliKKKlans just said they don't care about national security or the US Constitution. The VOTERS will fix what cowardly Rethugs wouldn't. 👍
lol, no it didn’t.
Lol reject your Reality and Replace it with one of my own.
Great👍
They can't help but lie. Gop what did you do when your child or children lie? All children try it, the good ones have parents that make sure lying has consequences. The same rules should apply 'adults and administration ' that do. Call them it , give them consequences.
He's their redneck president. Like this is their satellite dish.
Another lie. Lying government.
NOT!
WhiteHouse FLOTUS realDonaldTrump and everyone else
At least 3 voted after announcing that they view Trump did wrong and guilty but preferred to save the seat because their vote will not change anything and both are republicans.

Uhh.. no, it did not.
Congratulations USA, now qualified as BananaRepublic with a boss who is above the law. What happened to the «great democracy» Greetings from Europe.
Trump was IMPEACHED by the House of Representatives.....that’s FOREVER.....!!!
Only a Trump cultie would actually believe that he was vindicated! Ffs he will always be IMPEACHED!
Wrong as stated!
How’s a full vindication and exoneration possible with a sham trial.Strange.
in the future every American that ends up in a US court as a defendant should ask for the trump version, no witnesses no physical documents, just straight to acquittal. Think of all the tax dollars we would save, I mean if we’re not going to hold our leaders accountable, why us!!
(Nearly) Full sell out by the GOPSenate. Instead of honoring an oath sworn before God, they honored an oath to a traitor to his country & their own party. Cowards ShamTrial VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020
מר טראפ איש של הפתעות הצלחה שלו מרובה רק בזכות של עבודה רק עם הלב
A lie of course
Corruption of an election, let that sink in.
IMPEACHED President DJ Trump spins fake trial outcome as exoneration. NOT!!!!!
IMPEACHED
In what reality? The rep defense was that he did it, but they don’t care that he did it.
The polls are in question unless verified by independent agency I don't believe them
That’s how things work.
I still hope that the American people will come to their senses. And release themselves and the rest of the world from this clown.
Send them all back to grade school
They keep saying he’s vindicated...
Congratulations
Lies
great show ...whats next ? pigs can fly :)
IMPEACHED forever! The Senate pigs just didn't agree with justice. What a disgusting group of thieves and liars! VOTE BLUE!
Following CNN you have to be careful with their Fake News
I do not trust in CNN news about Trump. CNN has been against Trump since the beginning they are partíal. !
Yeah, now were talking🥳
He’ll always be impeached and known as a corrupt... and the year isn’t even over! Tick-tock because once the doors are slammed behind his fat orange ass January 20, 2021... all the lawsuits from all the states will start with all of us getting front row seats!!!
A full vindication and exoneration would have required a proper process involving witnesses, who would be able to show that Trump didn't do things that he was accused of. He wasn't found to be innocent, he was found not guilty... there can be a big difference between those two!
There was NO vindication, it was just a bunch of Republicans to terrified to vote against the president and break the Oath that they took
Trump and his supporters are wrong when they say that he has been vindicated. It will forever remain on the record that he was impeached, and that stain will never go away no matter what he and his supporters might think.
One can read Trump's face showing worries even after impeachment acquittal! Something is wrong?
I don’t think so. Nope I know he isnt vindicated
Well...no. Even his own party members cake to the conclusion that what he did was betraying his oath of office. So..no
Hahaha. Whatever! B
Never. He is dirty for all time.
All these republicans saying I will vote to stop impeachment then virtually in the same breath say he has done something wrong. Sorry but unbelievable. Might as well have a dictatorship.
I cannot believe
And I want to throw up a whole bunch of lies and get away with it!! fuckinturdburger
Impeachment of a president is always just shameful for the whole nation.
Yes it did....Imagine that....😝
YEAHHHH 'TRUMP'❤🇺🇸 GOD BLESS YOU & MALANIA 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 MAGA 2020 & YRS TO COME. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪🇺🇸
He still doesn't know what 'exonerate' means.
YOU TERRIBLE LOW LIFE ector.figueroa.1884/videos/10214991906051514/?notif_id=1572053721681447¬if_t=video_processed
You are still impeached.
He said the same thing about the Mueller Report neither one is true.
Mad as a box of frogs...
Rflmfao uh huh...where have I heard that crap before?
Well CNN, what say you?
There goes democracy as we knew it
Vindicated......forever
Why are you not covering all of the protest marches across the country?
Just like the Mueller exonerated him.
Haha he’s delusional
Still impeached, not vindicated!
First king with ultimate powers in America's history.
Wow, will the 'White House' ever stop lying?
Nope.
CNN - On The Wrong Side Again. They Need To See Why Trump Keeps winning. It might Be because he's Right .
Bullshit. He's guilty as hell. He should be wearing a Orange Jumpsuit right now !!!
At least equal to a Clinton. Comforting.
Just 4 more votes and Trump would have been on his way to Attica where a lot of bending-over exercises would have been required of him.
Bullshit! Get a hair cut foe heavens sake!
Lol. Lies. IMPOTUS forever.
IMPOTUS
😡🤬
The corrupt senile fool is not vindicated by a fixed trial
He’s the nothing more than the orange OJ
Still impeached, can't make that disappear from history no matter what.
What trial? That was a travesty of justice.
Another LIE !
trump2020 maga NeverDemocrat Republican BuildTheWall redwave CNNisTrash
Should be called CNN FAKE NEWS
Does anyone ever wonder why this man has been exonerated so many times? How many last presidents have had to be exonerated?
Yeah right
🤢🤮 They committed treason of 52 members!
As usual the party lies to cover its own lack of effort and ineptitude. 1984 just showed up a little late.
We knew he’d do this—but we also know it isn’t true.
That is NOT what the vote means realDonaldTrump
Again White House says whatever they want and it is not remotely true. The only vindication is that the strategy of bribing and threatening GOP senators worked. Trump presented no evidence and only proved our laws are too weak to deal with a criminal president. GOPisDeadToMe
Untrue
No doofus your still impeached
Nope... he will be impeached forever!!!!
🤮
Super l
Not exonerated.
👍🎉👌😍
How can someone be exonerated when there was no trail, no witnesses called no testimony heard and a lot of cover up? White House is delusional
Sorry, but you are an IMPEACHED President. Live with that forever.
Not really- most Americans said he was guilty, should be impeached, and removed. What a disgrace this Senate is- time to investigate them all- follow the money.
No it didn't he still impeached still carry that disgrace
Scary!!!
He wasn't exonerated!
And the lies continue.
IMPEACHED FOREVER!!!!!!!!
not a trial, this was a gop criminal cover up
Lie
Repeat of the Mueller report that everyone allowed to happen
Didn't even have a real trial without allowing witnesses. What a joke.
Be cool,don't overreact.
LiE!!!!! NOT exonerated. Trump's been acquited. There's a difference. The truth will continue to come out, and Trump's wrongdoing will continue to be further proven.
And we all know that statement is a lie. He is still an impeached president!!
This whole administration sit on this meme
Bribery is paying off!
Yeah tell that to the 30 million who didn’t watchOUCH
Hey, boo boo. You are forever IMPEACHED

Trump is IMPEACHED forever and there is nothing the treasonous republicans can do about it
OJ Trump! How sad the world has got. Men of so called integrity, leave themselves a legacy of deceit and betrayal to the American people they are suppose to serve. They will be remembered for this long after their time on earth. Failures.👎🏻👎🏻

😢
acquittal Definition. At the end of a criminal trial, a finding by a judge or jury that a defendant is not guilty. An acquittal signifies that a prosecutor failed to prove his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt, not that a defendant is innocent. DOSE NOT MEAN VINDICATED!
Lies 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zero vindication and no exoneration.
ImpeachedTrump should trend again cuz that’s what YOU ARE.
Nope. No witnesses/documents = No Trial No Trial = No exoneration/acquittal Trump is forever impeached! GOPCowards GOPCoverup AmericansFindTrumpGulity
