John,
If Mitch McConnell’s Senate career was a person, they’d be a geriatric millennial. That’s right. He’s been a Senator longer than half of this country has been alive – 37 years!
When he started out his political career as a State Senator in Kentucky, he was known as “pragmatic” and a “moderate Republican.” Today, he’s a multi-millionaire. So, in true honor of a geriatric millennial, here are a few things Mitch’s career has ruined: -
The Presidency: He refused to hold 45 accountable for any and all actions throughout his presidency, even refusing to denounce the Big Lie until after an attempted insurrection.
-
The Senate: In President Obama’s first term, Mitch blocked 79 nominations. Comparatively, only 68 nominations had been blocked in the history of the Republic up to Obama’s presidency.
- The Supreme Court: He is adamantly for the filibuster and wouldn’t abolish it unless there were 67 votes for the change – except as a Majority Leader, when he abolished it with just 51 votes to ram through his own agenda, including a Supreme Court Justice.
-
Our Democracy: As Minority Leader, he famously said “Breaking the rules to change the rules is un-American.” And yet, it’s the only way he’s gripped onto power, always moving the mark when it suits him.
For Mitch, accountability is long overdue.
