Folks, this is despicable --
Mitch McConnell doesn’t have an ounce of shame in his body. He’s demanding that the next coronavirus relief package include liability protection for companies that reopen during the pandemic -- ensuring that they won’t be held accountable for failing to ensure safe conditions for their workers.
Mitch celebrated being called the “Grim Reaper” of the Senate for refusing to call for a vote on any of the House-passed legislation to protect our healthcare, tackle the climate crisis, and enact common-sense gun safety reform.
And now, in the midst of a historic pandemic -- when millions of Americans are facing real hardship and need real help -- he’s still playing partisan games.
Mitch McConnell is hinging aid to state and local governments on the needs of his special interest donors. Enough -- sign on to tell Mitch that we must put the people first, not wealthy corporations!
It’s time for Mitch and his lackeys in the Senate to get their priorities straight.
There’s no time to lose,
Sean Casten
