McConnell: ‘Let’s not have lectures’ from Democrats who denied 2016 result

President Trump should not be expected to cheerfully, immediately accept the outcome of the contested 2020 race and is 100 percent within his rights to challenge the results, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a speech from the Senate floor on Monday.

In his first remarks since Joe Biden was called the winner of the presidential election based on projections, McConnell defended Trump s use of litigation to challenge vote counts in various states and blasted Democrats like Hillary Clinton for claiming Trump would try to steal the election.

Let s not have any lectures, no lectures, about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election and who insinuated that this one would be illegitimate too if they lost again only if they lost, the Kentucky Republican said.
