While Kevin McCarthy Condemns Trump Indictment, Mitch McConnell Remains Conspicuously Quiet By Susie Moore | 9:45 AM on June 09, 2023The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com. Following the news, on Thursday evening, of former President Donald Trump’s indictment related to alleged mishandling of classified documents, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) issued a statement on Twitter condemning the move in no uncertain terms.
Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.
It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.

Said McCarthy:
Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.
It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.
I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.
Other elected Republicans and well-known conservatives sounded off on the news as well.
DeSantis, More Republicans Respond to Trump Indictment
There were also a slew of Republican presidential primary candidates for 2024 speaking out, most notably, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who noted the stark difference in treatment under the law of Trump vs. Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden by the Justice Department:
…
The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society.
We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.
Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?
The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all.

But one notable, prominent Republican voice hasn’t been heard from since the news broke: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Certainly, there is no love lost between the former president and the minority leader, but one might expect at least an acknowledgment of this unprecedented circumstance. Yet, just as he did following the indictment secured by Alvin Bragg in New York, McConnell has remained conspicuously quiet on the matter.
In fact, the entire Senate Republican leadership team has remained mum on the matter.

As news breaks Tuesday of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s praise for the United States’ election “process” and declaration of “congratulations” for “President-elect Joe Biden,” the Kentucky senator’s extensive family ties to China have resurfaced as a topic of conversation.
McConnell’s marriage into the Chao family dynasty has coincided with a trajectory of ever-increasing personal profit for McConnell and the Chaos, as well as Chinese state business interests.
