While one of the worst men in America, Roy Moore, continues to claim that Tuesday’s election was ‘filled with voter fraud,’ (sound like anyone else?), McConnell is adding to his hypocrisy as a failed leader.

McConnell continues to hurry efforts to pass Trump’s destructive tax bill. Democrats have suggested that the vote be postponed until Doug Jones, the newly elected senator from Alabama, can be sworn in. McConnell is flatly denying that request. He is once again acting in a hypocritical and partisan manner.

In 2010, Scott Brown, a Republican, won a special election. A critical vote on the Affordable Care Act was imminent. Together with Democrat, Jim Webb, Congress agreed to postpone the vote until he was in office. President Obama also supported the idea.

That was then, this is now. McConnell and Trump are pushing hard to pass the bill before the Holiday recess; fearful that some Republicans will come to the realization that passing harmful legislation could cost them elections in the future.

Under the failed “leadership” of Trump, McConnell, and Paul Ryan, not a single Democrat has been included in governmental actions. This is pure fascism. Our government is dysfunctional without deliberation and compromise from both sides of the aisle.

Republicans once again prove that they are unable to govern our nation, and that their fiscal policies are horrific and cause great harm to our nation’s economy.

Congress’ approval rating is higher than it should be at 13 percent. Under Republican control, not a single positive bill has been addressed or passed.

Trump and his circle of sinners are nothing less than losers.

Please re-post; thank you.
