Historians will claim that not only was Mitch McConnell the worst Senate Majority Leader in history, he is the worst and most failed senator America has ever known. He is a traitor to the American people.
Yesterday McConnell proved that he is not a public servant; he has no interest in the future of our nation. His loyalty is to his wallet and his party. Embracing the hypocrisy of the Republican Party he announced that he would hold hearings for a vacant seat on the Supreme Court if one comes available in 2020.
You might remember the name “Merrick Garland.” Judge Garland was likely the most qualified candidate for the Court in modern history. He is a moderate and would have been an ideal replacement for Antonin Scalia who passed away suddenly. McConnell defied President Obama and the will of the people by refusing to hold hearings in the Senate. His reason; President Obama was in the final year of his second term. Now he’s willing to push a right-wing extremist for Trump’s final year.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the top Senate Democrat, took to Twitter, writing that “Senator McConnell is a hypocrite” but noting that the comment is “no surprise.”
“McConnell lives for GOP judges because he knows the GOP agenda is so radical & unpopular they can only achieve it in courts,” Schumer wrote.
The truth is that the GOP exists in name only today. McConnell is a failure and has been for more than 30 years. His accomplishments for the people of Kentucky and the United States are nil. He has led the party of no for the last 10 years into failure. He is the primary reason why our government is dysfunctional.
Finally, a plea to the people of Kentucky. Please do the right thing and rid our nation of the poster boy for term limits. Vote against McConnell in 2020.
Tell everyone; “The Truth Lives Here.”
