Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted House Democrats for moving forward on an impeachment inquiry against President Trump, and chastised the party for their unwillingness to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election.

“Washington Democrats have been searching for ways to reverse their 2016 election defeat since before President Trump was even inaugurated,” McConnell said in a Tuesday press release. Drawing on the “breathless accusations” of Russian collusion that ultimately fell flat, he claimed the Democratic Party “has been a two-and-a-half-year impeachment parade in search of a rationale.”
