Goodbye, Mitch McConnell: You were the worst

He will be remembered as one of the most dangerous politicians in living memory. READ: Republican senators kick Mitch McConnell on his way out the door Despite his opposition to Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election — admitting publicly that Trump “provoked” the attack on the U.S. Capitol — McConnell voted to acquit Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection on January 6, 2021. McConnell has refused to support what’s needed for comprehensive election security, although the U.S. intelligence community says Moscow is continuing to weaponize disinformation through social media on behalf of Trump. McConnell has consistently received low approval ratings from voters in Kentucky because he has repeatedly sacrificed Kentucky to the Republican agenda — for example, agreeing to Trump’s so-called emergency funding for a border wall, which took $63 million away from projects like a new middle school on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee. PS: Here’s a video that my colleagues at Inequality Media and I did just before the 2020 election — arguing that even if Trump were booted out of the White House, America would still be in trouble if the Senate remained in Republican hands and McConnell remained majority leader — and urging, among other things, that Georgians send two Democrats to the Senate to help flip that chamber.
