McConnell slams Pelosi for 'handing out souvenirs' from impeachment resolution

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized House Democrats for “handing out souvenirs” after signing an impeachment resolution and sending the articles to the Senate.

“Democrats said over and over that they recognized the gravity and the seriousness of this action and that they had only come to it reluctantly,” McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, said Thursday on the Senate floor. “Well, nothing says seriousness and sobriety like handing out souvenirs, as though this were a happy bill signing instead of the gravest process in our constitution.”
