‘For the Democratic Leader, two things qualify as a crisis when it comes to the courts: The sky is falling when a Democratic president does not get to confirm every last judge he or she wants; and the sky is falling when a Republican president gets to confirm any.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding the announcement by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron:

“Breonna Taylor’s life was tragically cut short. Our city and the country continue to grieve her loss. Elaine and I pray for healing for Breonna’s mother and her family.

“Throughout this process, I have called for a fair and thorough investigation into Breonna’s killing. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron led a complete inquiry to find the truth and pursue justice. I have total confidence he followed the facts and the legal process in his decision.”

‘I’m grateful to Senator Ernst and everyone who fought hard to fix the Democrats’ bill. Republicans kept the Speaker of the House from adding insult to injury in such a challenging year for rural America.’
