Mitch McConnell Betrays Mike Johnson on the Border Because the GOP Doesn't Care About You
Bonchie
If you're older than 30, you probably remember the depiction of bullies in popular sitcoms. The bully was always a big talker. He'd pound his chest, shove kids against their lockers, and let it be known he was going to get what he wanted.
That's never how the story ended, though. Inevitably, after a round of lunch money stealing, the bully would end up writhing in pain on the playground, having been punked by the less muscular, more nerdy star of the show.
Guess which character the modern GOP most comports with. The Republican Party is full of big talkers. They'll promise you the world, but when push comes to shove, they almost always end up lying on the ground, wondering how they once again ended up in that position.
Enter Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is now urging House Speaker Mike Johnson to surrender on the border lest Ukraine not continue to be the top priority. That's not the worst of it, though. McConnell went so far as to betray Johnson by calling Hakeem Jeffries, the top House Democrat, in an attempt to force through Ukraine aid as a separate vote.
