This just in:

In a new campaign video on Facebook, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell pitches himself as the man who can end the House's impeachment inquiry, a sign of how the chief Republican in the chamber might handle an impeachment trial should the House pass articles charging President Donald Trump with crimes.

"Nancy Pelosi is in the clutches of a left-wing mob," McConnell says directly to a camera. "They've finally convinced her to impeach the President. All of you know your Constitution. The way that impeachment stops is a Senate majority, with me as majority leader."
"But I need your help," he adds. "Please contribute before the deadline."

(CNN)

So, Yertle McTurtle has once again demonstrated how he is violating his own oath of office.

And what does his opponent have to say?

Amy McGrath, a former Marine Corps pilot and potential Democratic opponent for Senate against McConnell in 2020, endorsed the impeachment inquiry last week.
"At the end of a reporting quarter, I am normally focused on making sure we have the resources we need to build an operation to fight for the things Kentuckians care about: health care, the cost of prescription drugs, jobs, and education," said McGrath in a fundraising email sent on Sunday. "But, the events of this past week are a glaring reminder that this campaign isn't all about policy, or even politics. It's also about our country, our institutions, and our very democracy."
"This week's events underscore how important it is to defeat Mitch McConnell and restore democracy," she added.
Same link as above. Emphasis added.
