Trump attacks Cheney, McConnell and repeats stolen-election claims after hearing

Hours after the January 6 committee's July 21, 2022, prime-time hearing detailed Trump's 187 minutes of inaction during the Capitol attack, Trump posted a string of late-night Truth Social messages dismissing the proceedings as a "Kangaroo court" and writing that the security failures were "Nancy Pelosi's fault, she turned down the troops!" He called committee vice chair Liz Cheney a "sanctimonious loser" and, referencing footage of Mitch McConnell defending the 2020 certification, wrote that McConnell was "the same Mitch McConnell who was losing big in Kentucky, and came to the White House to BEG me for an Endorsement and help? Without me he would have lost in a landslide. A disloyal sleaze bag!" In the same round of posts he restated his rejected fraud claims, writing "I had an election Rigged and Stolen from me, and our Country. The USA is going to Hell."
