    Lol, I think Democrats still hate McConnell more than Trumpers do.

    Probably true. But I also would not be surprised if mcconnell spends the remaining time he has left speaking out increasingly against trump and maga, as he tries to rehab his role in history.

    I wouldn't be surprised. He's definitely not maga. But that doesn't really make him any more acceptable.

    Here's a republican senator asking mcconnell to speak out in support of trump. Which will be an interesting test, will mcconnell be more worried about how maga republicans feel, or the American people.

    edit: added the tweet:

    if that tweet lists Mitch McConnell (D-Ukraine) then we're 100% sure Donald Trump is (R-Russia)

    Mentioned as a reason for his retirement is the unexpected death of his sister in law, Angela Chao, who's Tesla submerged in a private Austin estate.

    He's old with creepy bruised hands, but that death is a lingering wtf.

    he has already said he will vote for trump if he is the nominee in 2024. trump made racist comments about his wife and has spent the last few years trashing him, but mitch will still support him. the turtle is a cuck.

    mcconnell is one of the biggest hypocrites in politics and that is really saying something. denied a vote of one SC appointee because he claimed you dont do that in an election year, even though the election was like 10 months away. then he turns around and rushes though an appointee in an election year when there was only 2 months till the election.

    In no way am I defending mcconnell. But its possible he said he would support trump as the senate minority leader, and its possible the soon to be retired mcconnell might change.

    Pelosi isn't in leadership. McConnell isn't resigning from the Senate. He is resigning from his leadership position.

    There is no way they have a majority again, Trump will drag them way down this cycle.

    Again I have little sympathy for McConnell. If he feels that the Republican Party isn’t what he once thought it was he bears responsibility for that.

    Not much of a surprise, McConnell endorses Trump. Even after he called him a threat and said what he did was wrong on Jan. 6th and should be held accountable legally he still falls in line. Party over country.

    For those who forgot this is what he said right after the Senate vote in the second impeachment.

    Not so sure about that
    Trump's 1st election I did not feel half as much trepidation as I do now
    Even against Biden . . had he won . .. I thought 4 more years and he out
    but this one . .. .I think he going for President for life
    and I Legit think this is a man that would turn American troops on fellow Americans
    I am not kidding.
    Trump is unhinged. . . I made the Stinson analogy his 1st term . .. it was semi in jest
    This time . .. I'm not kidding

    Truly one of the most craven leaders this country has ever had. He's nauseating.

    Just like Cruz. Two spineless sorry excuses for husbands who let some nasty creep like Trump trash their wives, then pledge their support for that scumbag.

    the turtles rotting hands from a few months ago are an apt metaphor for his soul
