McConnell Blames Impeachment for Slow Pandemic Action

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told Hugh Hewitt that because the Senate was “tied down on the impeachment trial” during the early stages of the coronavirus outbreak, “it diverted the attention of the government, because everything every day was all about impeachment.”

An alternative view from Joshua Geltzer: “Impeachment didn’t distract Trump. It revealed how he would handle coronavirus.”
