Mitch McConnell was asked where his moral red lines are, and he made it clear that he has none


McConnell refused to answer the question about what are his moral red lines from Axios’s Jonathan Swan. He seemed to get offended when asked about the hypocrisy of saying that Trump was responsible for 1/6 and also saying that he would support Trump if he was the 2024 Republican nominee.

The Senate Minority Leader refused to answer how he would handle future Supreme Court nominations if he were Majority Leader, and generally, McConnell made it clear that he values no laws, or precedents, and has no moral red lines.

Mitch McConnell is a bad majority leader. He doesn’t accomplish much of anything. He ignores the will of the majority of the American people. For McConnell, power is not about governing but is its own end.

In case voters needed a wake-up call for the midterm election, just remember that Mitch McConnell is a one-seat pick-up away from being the Senate majority leader. - PoliticusUSA


Bring a barf bag. Because listening to MM is like listening to a person without a spine, without remorse, and without a moral compass.

This is why the good guys seem to be always taking it on the chin.

The moral red lines he will never cross are the ones separating him from doing anything to help a woman, Person of color, LBGTQ+, non-"christian", or anyone else who sees any level of oppression and hatred by the White Hood Klan.

They only worship power, hate, fear and the almighty dollar, and it shows in the way they conduct their lives publicly and privately. There is no possible redemption for the Republican Party.

Mitch has been destroying equality, human dignity and fairness for ages. And people just chortle and make faces.

Like the capo di tutti capi, his flunkies large and small, even PRESIDENTS come and go, serving his greedy, hateful and mendacious agenda.
