On Dec 19, 2019, GOP House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke following House impeachment vote.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., mocked Speaker Nancy Pelosi for holding a press conference the day after President Trump’s impeachment, only to refuse to take questions on the matter. “I would think if Nancy Pelosi thought impeachment was so important that she had to put this before the American public … the press conference the day after impeachment — that she has weekly — I thought she would have welcomed questions about impeachment. Unfortunately, she told you they were Republican talking points and she would not take your questions. I never thought a Speaker would act that way.”
“I guess, the only thing I could take from that is she’s embarrassed of it, she understands how weak it is, she understands her own criteria was not met, constitutionally it was not met, she probably failed on all parts.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell accused Pelosi of suggesting “that House Democrats may be too afraid … to even transmit their shoddy work product to the Senate.” Calling the development “comical,” he said Democrats who stressed the urgency of the process now seem “content to sit on their hands.” “This particular House of Representatives has let its partisan rage at this particular president create a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future. Looks like the prosecutors are getting cold feet.”
