Hey, we wish we were making this up.
Mitch McConnell just tried to blame Democrats and their push for impeachment for why the White House failed to respond adequately to COVID-19.
In an interview, he said, "It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment."
If Mitch wins re-election and the Republicans keep control of the Senate, it will be more of this -- more blaming Democrats for the GOP's failures, more coverups of Trump's horrific behavior, and more inaction that hurts average Americans.
Even if we manage to elect a Democrat, Mitch will still play obstructionist to a Democratic president or, even worse, if Trump stays in office, Mitch will enable his worst policies for four more years. We MUST kick Mitch McConnell out of office.
Amy McGrath will be our champion to defeat Mitch this November. McGrath knows what it means to fight hard: she was the first woman to fly combat missions for the Marine Corps. Amy's victory would rid the Senate of its chief obstructionist and send a progressive woman to Capitol Hill. Amy will fight for affordable healthcare and against economic inequality by supporting more opportunities for working and middle-class Americans.
But it won't be easy. Mitch is one of the most powerful men in Congress, and he spent $30 million on his last race. Let's not forget all Mitch has delivered for the GOP: Tax cuts for the rich and corporations and a conservative majority on the Supreme Court, just to name a few. Mitch already has $11 million on hand (the largest chunk comes from Wall Street) and is attacking Amy for supporting universal healthcare and a woman's right to choose.
POLITICO reported that Mitch is funneling $10.8 million from his Senate super PAC into his own race -- even more than his super PAC is spending in Arizona or Maine, two Senate races The Cook Political Report ranks as "toss-ups." One Mitch ally says this spending "demonstrates we intend to hold the line." It's clear that Mitch and Co. know exactly where "the line" they're trying to hold is most vulnerable.
When Democrats Turn Out is supporting Amy because we need leaders who believe that Congress should actually work for the American people. We know Republicans will fully utilize their piles of dark money and Trump campaign funds to defeat Amy and keep Mitch as Senate leader, so we need your support. If you believe in protecting our democracy, we need your donation NOW. Can you help us turn out the vote and get Mitch out of the Senate by donating to us and Amy McGrath today?
