McConnell: Dropping liability protections from coronavirus deal 'not going to happen'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Friday that liability protections will be in any coronavirus relief deal amid mixed signals from the White House, which has increasingly focused on a smaller or short-term deal.

Asked if the White House was trying to drop liability protections from the talks, McConnell told WHAS, a Kentucky radio station, that both he and President Trump support the proposal.

"Ultimately if we get a deal I'll be the one to put it on the floor in the Senate. I assure you it will have liability protection in it," McConnell said.

"There was some rumor that they were prepared to negotiate it away. That's not going to happen," he added.

How is it safe for kids to go back to school, Mitch, if your precious employers can't run safe businesses so they don't need a get out of blame free card?

This is a matter of life or death. Mcconnell is siding with big corporations.

Just fuck him. I hate that man with a passion. How can anyone in his state not see him for the evil serpent that he is?
