What McConnell Did After the Hegseth Vote Is Infuriating
Matt Vespa
5–7 minutes

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had good qualities. He pushed through Trump’s judicial nominees during the first presidency, got his tax cuts passed, and is a noted legislative strategist and tactician. It doesn’t mean he always bats a thousand, but McConnell got key portions of the Trump agenda passed after the 2016 election. Now, he’s erased all that goodwill with this dastardly vote against Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. McConnell’s defection, plus that of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME), led to Vice President JD Vance performing his constitutional duty to break the tie. 

McConnell explained his decision in a lengthy statement, but after he voted, he was caught frolicking with Senate Democrats:

U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, issued the following statement today on the nomination of Pete Hegseth to serve as Secretary of Defense:

“The most consequential cabinet official in any Administration is the Secretary of Defense. In the face of the gravest threats to U.S. national security interests since World War II, this position is even more important today.

????? “I wish Secretary Hegseth great success, and I look forward to working closely with him to restore American hard power." 

If Mitch truly meant that he wanted have ranted on before that statement as if he already failed.

Time to shut your mouth Mitch or step down.  888mouth

Based on his previous health “incidents”, Mitch is living on borrowed time. Good possibility his brain will fry out before he steps down.

For some reason I just can't produce a mental image of Mitch frolicking anywhere with anyone.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
