last yr, Turtle face stopped the Senate Rules Committee from advancing the bipartisan Secure Elections Act in July 2019 There’s Bipartisan Support for Election Security. Mitch McConnell Won’t Let It Happen. https://slate.com/technology/2019/0...ssia-tried-to-interfere-in-our-elections.htmler this was too much for Joe Scarborough, former GOP lawmaker from Alabama; on his Morning Joe TV show, he called McConnell unpatriotic, w the moniker "Moscow Mitch" because the majority leader halted two measures aimed at preventing foreign interference in U.S. elections. WaPo's Dana Milbank also had this to offer: McConnell is a Russian asset. This doesn’t mean he’s a spy, but neither is it a flip accusation. Russia attacked our country in 2016. It is attacking us today. Its attacks will intensify in 2020. Yet each time we try to raise our defenses to repel the attack, McConnell, the Senate majority leader, blocks us from defending ourselves. Let's call this what it is: unpatriotic. The Kentucky Republican is, arguably more than any other American, doing Russian President Vladimir Putin's bidding.Presumably he thinks whatever influence Russia exerts over U.S. elections will benefit him (he's up for reelection in 2020) and his party. https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2019/07/28/dana-milbank-when-it/
Then the whiny Moscow Mitch took to the Senate floor to blast the "hyperventilating hacks" who have accused him a being a Russian sympathizer, w reference to McCarthyism. Amy McGrath, the retired AF fighter Pilot who is challenging McConnell in the 2020 election, tweeted: https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...ons-him-being-russian-sympathizer/1861144001/
...he might as well have kissed Gorby right on that big red blotch on his head, if this is what all that Star Wars crap and "...tear down this wall..." business was going to amount to... ...er... ...excepting a bloated military budget and indefinite wars, of course...
Well, yes. Problem with Republicans is make it part of their alleged platform, but they don't really mean it.
Yes kind of like the deficit, and balancing the budget. One of king Cheeto baby’s campaign promises. In this case if they were concerned about states voting independence they could just simply write in measures to insulate the states from federal overreach, and congressional and presidential candidate laws to enforce notifying the FBI has nothing to do with federal overreach in federal elections. Mitch’s excuses are laughable in this case and it’s a clear sign that the GOP is freaked out about getting wiped out in 20 that they are openly holding a sign out in front of the door saying “Russia...if you’re listening...” Such Patriots
‘Moscow Mitch,’ Putin's other useful idiot Trump sees any attempt to tighten election security as a tacit suggestion that his election win in 2016 was illegitimate. And if Trump doesn’t approve of something, McConnell won’t even let the Senate vote on it. McConnell says he is blocking the mostly bipartisan security measures to safeguard our elections because Democrats are trying to give themselves a “political benefit.” That’s rich. These are bills to require candidates to notify the FBI if a foreign entity offers help, mandate the use of paper ballots or better fund the Election Assistance Commission. Hardly partisan stuff. But if foreign hackers want to interfere and give his own party an unfair advantage, McConnell’s position seems to be, more power to them. https://www.nj.com/opinion/2019/07/moscow-mitch-the-other-useful-idiot-editorial.html
Some people care enough about our country to do what they can to safeguard its election process. Other people love our country so much they put pictures of American flags as their moniker on a basketball forum because they are just such true patriots. Bots also do that second thing.
States rights didn't matter when he said: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” -2010 He's a hypocrite and a piece of ****. Can you defend that?
AOC gives Moscow Mitch a semantic lesson Moscow Mitch's whining Ms. Cortez's lesson to Moscow Mitch https://news.yahoo.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-mitch-mcconnell-074243590.html
Wait...what...Mitch actually said this?!? Good lord, saying the other side is unpatriotic has been one of the keys of the Republican platform for decades...still is.
They always get sloppy eventually. It's just human nature. If Homelander can get sloppy, you know pathetic turtle man Mitch can get sloppy. He seems very concerned about added scrutiny. Interesting.
