Barbara Boxer, ex-Senator D-CA: "We have seen this movie before with McConnell..."

We have seen this movie before with McConnell in the Senator Packwood case where Packwood harassed multiple women. Mitch McConnell defended him until it became too painful – when the 21st woman came out he folded. Watch this space as they say.
