Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 17, 2022

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Jan. 27, 2022
Tweet: Today, on the 77th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We must never forget the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and always confront antisemitism wherever it takes root.
Sen. Mitch McConnell

Sen. Rand Paul, ...
Oct. 21, 2020
Tweet - "Our Constitution forbids disqualifying people from public service due to their religious beliefs. The far left has either forgotten this or just doesn't care. It only underscores why we need well-informed jurists like Judge Barrett to protect our Constitution & Americans' rights."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 21, 2020
McConnell Condemns Continued Attacks on Judge Barrett's Religious Faith
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 7, 2020

Continued Attacks on Judge Barrett's Faith Are A Disgrace
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Oct. 2, 2020
Tweet - "ICYMI: I joined @HughHewitt this morning to discuss Judge Barrett's outstanding qualifications, the decision by some on the left to attack her religious faith, and the Democrats' ongoing threats against our governing institutions."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
Sept. 29, 2020
Tweet - "Multiple times, with multiple nominees, Senate Democrats have said or implied that certain personal religious beliefs make Americans unfit to serve. Judge Barrett in 2017 was only one example. Now the media's joining in. These tactics need to stop now."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "I strongly & fully support Americans' right to peacefully protest. But through no fault of the demonstrators, recent days have revealed glaring inconsistencies from some local leaders. While some mayors cheer mass protests, they continue to ban careful church gatherings."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 9, 2020
Tweet - "Speech, assembly, and the free exercise of religion are all sacrosanct liberties. Mayors cannot play "red-light, green-light" with the First Amendment and cheer certain protests while selectively disadvantaging people of faith. The Bill of Rights is not an a-la-carte menu."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
May 7, 2020

Tweet - "Today, even at a distance, Christians are united by the triumph of the Resurrection. I wish my fellow Kentuckians and all who celebrate a very happy and blessed Easter."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 11, 2020
Tweet - "Exactly. Elaine and I will be celebrating Easter at home. I encourage all Kentuckians to do likewise and to follow all CDC guidance. But governments need to protect citizens' health without trampling basic constitutional principles at the same time."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
April 11, 2020
Tweet - "Grateful for this strong, eloquent ruling defending Kentuckians' religious liberty from Judge Justin Walker, @POTUS 's outstanding nominee for the D.C. Circuit. Of course church parking lots cannot be singled out with unfair standards that differ from other establishments."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 6, 2020
Tweet - "I've worked my whole career to stand against anti-Semitism. We must denounce it wherever it emerges. This is a responsibility that all Americans must share."
Sen. Mitch McConnell
March 3, 2020
Tweet - "I've worked my whole career to stand against anti-Semitism. I've called it out whenever I see it. But around this time last year, House Democrat leaders had difficulty doing even that. This is a responsibility that all Americans must share. #AIPAC2020"

Sen. Mitch McConnell
Dec. 5, 2019

Rep. Jamie Comer, ...
July 18, 2019
Tweet - "It's a sad situation when elected members of the Democratic Party are openly urging their leadership not to make them vote on condemning anti-Semitism and the BDS movement. The House should vote on the bipartisan legislation the Senate passed months ago with 77 votes."
