Mitch McConnell is a vile, cynical, despicable sham of a political leader, starting with his "Obama must be a one term president" comment through his cynical engineering the federal judiciary, especially SCOTUS, his two acquitals of Trump's impeachments, and his deafening silence as MAGA took over the Republican Party. His denouncement of Trump at this late date, after all the damage done to this country's body politic, is....staggering. One is left speechless, that any human being, let alone a party leader, could be so lacking in any personal integrity or sense of decency or honor or any other positive personal character that exists above political expediency. There are some things a decent person just won't do, no matter what.

You are a horrible human being, Mitch McConnell, and nothing you do from this point on can redeem you in the eyes of many, especially me.

He believes that the end justifies the means and that is a heartless, despicable motto to govern by that runs counter to many ethical values, not to mention governmental precedents. Unfortunately, he is not the only government official who ascribes to that Machiavellian notion.

Just think of all of the legislation he blocked during his time as Speaker and also his far-right theocratic Supreme Court Justices he ushered into SCOTUS.

He is as despicable as Leonard Leo and Donald Trump.

He is directly responsible for the women who have died and will die because they can't get the basic health care they have been denied by legislation.... McConnell and every politician and judge who has supported the legislation restricting "abortion" which is, as we always knew, reproductive healthcare. I really wonder if those politicians understand that by their hand, their work, their votes, they have killed women. The same applies to everyone who ever voted for them. They are women killers.

So one can only assume that he just doesn’t care. Sacrifice the women to keep the base. And those/we uppity women need to be knocked down a peg or two anyway.

But trump will protect women so he says. And when women die during pregnancy complications, Not my fault-it is the states' fault. They made the laws.

He wasn’t Speaker, that’s the House leader, he was the Majority leader of the Senate, other than that you are spot on Gary 🙏

Nothing else? There was a brilliant two-term president who once dared to wear a suit of the wrong colour.

Agreed! McConnell is responsible for too much of this horror we face-Trump, SCOTUS, Republican Nazis-he’s a traitor to the Constitution.

Mitch is the epitome of the man who should have been careful what he asked for. Haha. His permanent republican majority may leave him in the dust.

Exactly! At this late date in a "biography"!? Hell is waiting for Mitch McConnell. In many ways he's already made it here on earth for us.

Even if Mitch voted for Harris, which is totally not happening, the damage he has done in molding the SCOTUS into a trump puppet department can not be repaired with his one vote for Harris (if in a fantasy world that would ever happen)
