McConnell said Wednesday that he condemns white supremacists in the "strongest possible way."

McConnell had been asked about President Donald Trump's deflection of an opportunity to condemn white supremacists during Tuesday’s presidential debate.

"I want to associate myself with the remarks of Senator Tim Scott that he put out earlier today. I think he said it exactly correctly and that's exactly how I would express myself on that issue," McConnell, a Republican, told reporters, adding: "He said it was unacceptable not to condemn white supremacists. And so I do so in the strongest possible way."

Senator Romney called the debate "an embarrassment" and Senator Collins said it was the "least educational debate of any presidential debate" that she's ever seen.

The 90-minute debate on Tuesday night was chaotic, marred by the Republican president's constant interjections and interruptions of both his Democratic rival and the host, as well as Joe Biden's angry rejoinders.
