McConnell's Quest for Power Over Principles Diminished His Influence, Says Psaki
- Focused on gaining political power over sticking to principles
- Enabled Trump to nominate conservative judges to courts to retain power
- Acquitted Trump in second impeachment trial despite blaming him for Jan 6 attack
- Lost power and diminished influence in Republican party, unable to keep conference unified
- Cynically focused on power, "swallowed by the monster he enabled to obtain it"
