'Keep better company': McConnell vows to 'stamp out' Trumpian 'America First' policies

Raw Story  

Sen. Mitch McConnell Friday vowed he'll be "stamping out" Donald Trump's foreign policy ethos and slammed the former president for rhetoric he linked to 1930s fascists, a new report shows.

But Trump also proved unable to answer a basic yes-or-no question about his position this week, and instead rambled for minutes about "insane asylum" occupants, COVID, the stock market, and President Joe Biden.

Trump-McConnell 2020? Senate leader takes on role of wingman

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — It’s not quite “Trump-McConnell 2020,” but it might as well be. Undaunted, he revels in the nickname he’s given himself — the “Grim Reaper,” bragging that he’s burying the House Democrats’ agenda — though he seems stung by one lobbed by opponents, “Moscow Mitch.” But the Democrats’ agenda includes gun legislation to require background checks that Trump now …
