McConnell scorches DOJ over lenient sentence for Minnesota arsonist
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a scathing letter Tuesday blasting the U.S. Attorney’s office for seeking reduced sentences for rioters arrested during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
"Political violence is a cancer in free societies," McConnell wrote. "To use a parallel example, it would seem almost insane to argue that a criminal who assaulted the United States Capitol on January 6th, 2021, with the explicit intention of obstructing Congress’ constitutional duties, should receive a lesser sentence than somebody else who trespassed on federal property at a different time just because he could.
