McConnell: GOP senators were 'literally under assault' in days before Kavanaugh vote

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday that GOP senators were "literally under assault" during the confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.

"I couldn’t be prouder of the Senate Republican conference. We were standing up for the presumption of innocence in this country … And secondly, we were literally under assault," McConnell said at a press conference in Kentucky. "These demonstrators, I’m sure some of them were well-meaning citizens. But many of them were obviously trying to get in our faces, to go to our homes. Basically almost attack us in the halls of the capitol.

"There was a full-scale effort to intimidate."

McConnell's comments came just two days after the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in a 50-48 vote.

Aw you poor baby. Pissed off constituents aren't as much fun as well heeled lobbyists.

1. The way you've assaulted democratic norms Mitch,

you're lucky it wasn't worse.

[GoCubsGo]

2. Always the fucking victims.

Pathetic.

[Downtown Hound]

3. White men of power are always the victims

At least, they'd like to think so anyways.

[MineralMan]

4. What could they be angry about, I wonder.

Did any of them hold you down and try to take your clothes off, Mitch?

[Va Lefty]

5. People like you used to be tarred and feathered!

[janterry]

6. History will judge you as the manipulative liar that you are

Someday, we will look at your name in the history books and think of you with the same affection we had reserved for Joe McCarthy.

You have won a battle, but not the war.

[Iliyah]

7. And your shithole master is doing that everyday

on twitter and at his fucked up rallies?

Boo woo.

[mr_lebowski]

8. And given that this basically NEVER HAPPENS except when you're being totally fucked up and evil ...

Maybe you should've 'gotten a clue' that you were 'doing the wrong thing', based on the lengths the American People were going to in order to dissuade you ... you think, Turtleman?

Naaaah ...

[DBoon]

9. did any of them have their home propane line cut?

If not, they should quit whining about a "mob". Here is what THEY did to reps supporting Obamacare:

Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers who voted for the bill are receiving death threats and experiencing vandalism. Vandals struck the Tuscon office of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), the Monroe County Democratic Committee headquarters in upstate New York, Rep. Louise Slaughter’s (D-NY) Niagara Falls office, the Knox County Democratic headquarters in Ohio, and the Sedgwick County Democratic Party headquarters in Wichita, KS. Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC), the highest-ranking black lawmaker in the House, has said “he received an anonymous fax showing the image of a noose” and authorities in Virginia are investigating “a cut propane line” at the home of a brother of Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA).

14. Poor little snowflakes need a blanket and a safe space!

[anarch]

11. so you're "proud" of your party's ability to ignore the voices of the people

For some reason it makes me think of someone saying something maybe kinda like, "I couldn't be prouder of my boy...he wouldn't take no for an answer, and now I'm going to be a granddad!"


Traitorous fucking scum. They're going to regret it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. You mean people were actually exercising their constitutional right

to petition the government for redress of grievances? Shame on them!

[Initech]

13. Oh boo fucking hoo Mitch!

[sheshe2]

15. Fug off Mitch!

[czarjak]

16. Goebbels taught him well.

[dawg day]

17. Oh, yeah, you were the victim

Not the women who had been raped.

[StevieM]

18. It was Dr. Ford who was receiving death threats. (eom)

[Thekaspervote]

19. Open mouth spill out shit.. that's turtle for ya!!

[Turbineguy]

22. Yeah!

I was on top of one trying to tear off his clothes! Luckily, one of my libtard buddies pulled me off!

They should report these things to the police right away.
