McConnell: Biden is 'first-rate person' leading 'left-wing administration'
By Jordain Carney - 04/01/21 01:48 PM EDT



Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that he likes President Biden personally, but he vowed to fight a political agenda he said is "going in exactly the wrong direction."

"I like him personally, I mean, we've been friends for a long time. He's a first-rate person. Nevertheless, this is a bold, left-wing administration. I don't think they have a mandate to do what they're doing," McConnell told reporters in Kentucky on Thursday.

McConnell, comparing his job as minority leader to being a "defensive coordinator," added that Republicans were in "a reactive mode."

"I would love to find some things that we can agree on," he said, but added there are "big philosophical differences and that's going to make it more and more difficult for us to reach bipartisan agreements."

McConnell and Biden served together in the Senate and cut deals during the Obama administration, when Biden was vice president and McConnell was either majority or minority leader. When Biden completed his final term as vice president in January 2017, meaning he was also finished being president of the Senate, senators including McConnell lauded him on the Senate floor.

I like him personally, I mean, we've been friends for a long time. He's a first-rate person.

Can you imagine saying that about a known child molester?

He's nicknamed "Turtle" because he looks and sounds like a cartoon turtle.  He's also pretty slow sometimes, like now.

What a turd....er Turtle.

There's nothing to like about Biden unless the person liking him is similarly corrupt.   

If McConnell like BIDEN...has there ever been a Senator, besides Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, whom he does not like?

What about Murkowski?  Collins?  Romney?  Remember Jeffie Flake?  What about that little weasel?  Did McConneel like Traitor McStain, too?

I strongly suspect Clarence Thomas would disagree with you, Mc-Connell Mitch. And Justice Thomas's opinions are worthy of respect.

This is the guy who's supposed to lead the fight against Biden, who believes members of the opposing party are Satan's spawn and is intent upon destroying the nation.

Half our problem right there.  Our opponents are waging war, while our side plays tiddlywinks and are all kissy kissy.

I would say it's a damned sight more than half @catfish1957

Agreed. Given the things we've heard Biden say about us and seen him do to us over the past 6 months what kind of tin ear does the minority leader have to have to say such an incredibly oblivious thing? Its like seeing your parent bouncing the neighborhood kid who's constantly beating the hell out of you on their knee.

[bigheadfred]

What crap.

The whole damn bunch need to go.

I have NO trouble at all imagining McConnell saying it. His handler-wife and her Chinese masters would insist on it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

McConnell's going to continue to do what his Chinese overlords expect of him.
