However, Burr definitely belongs in the GOP Senate Awfulness Hall of Shame with McConnell, Graham, Cruz, Paul and, oh, I guess all of them.

He is descended from one of the brothers of Aaron Burr, the man who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel.

Fun fact: Aaron Burr took his second wife at the tender age of 77. Four months later she threw his ass out because he was blowing all her money on land speculation. She hired Alexander Hamilton's son as her divorce lawyer.

Trump actually caused more deaths and worsened the coming Trump Depression with his paranoia and incompetance.

Trump and McConnell are far worse than him, by several orders of magnitude. He's just a worthless, greedy SOB.
