Article I of H. Res. 241, 119th Congress, claims that Chief Judge McConnell “made an array of public comments” in January 2021 that, in the resolution’s words, demonstrate bias that would “warp his decision” in State of New York et al. v. Donald J. Trump, et al., No. 1:25-cv-39 (D.R.I.). Those sentences are the resolution’s claims. They are not a court finding and not a Senate conviction.

This page quotes only the resolution’s own text. It does not reconstruct a video. H.Res. 241 states that in January 2021 he made public comments stating, “we fall back on kind of a stereotypical comment that judges should have no opinions and what not. And that’s just not true.”

The same article states that he “equated President Donald J. Trump’s first term as President to the Civil War and Jim Crow laws, and likened him to a tyrant.” That sentence is the resolution’s characterization. This page does not upgrade it to an independently transcribed quote.

H.Res. 241 further quotes him as stating: “When you’re sentencing someone that you have to take a moment and realize that this you know middle class, white, male privileged person needs to understand the human being who comes before us that may be a woman or may be black maybe be transgender maybe poor maybe rich maybe whatever may had experiences but not yours and may have to walk in their shoes and understand that the law applies to them where they are um and then you have to apply the law accordingly.” And: “we have formed a committee to look at race in our court, have we given disparate sentences between blacks and whites about hiring practices.”

Preferred-outlet pieces later described a resurfaced 2021 video. Those pieces are reporting and commentary. They are collected on the commentary post. The Fact sentence here is that the House resolution printed those words as his.
