Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), still bearing scars from the GOP’s last disastrous attempt to shoot down Obamacare, is washing his hands of President Donald Trump’s newest push.
According to a Thursday Politico report, McConnell knows that trying again in a now-divided Congress will be a fruitless effort and will make Senate Republicans look bad headed into 2020, when they will need to fight to keep their majority. The fact that he himself is up for reelection likely factors in too.
At a recent meeting, McConnell reportedly told his members that his strategy is to keep asking the White House for a replacement healthcare plan while he bashes Democratic proposals.
Keep choking that chicken, Mitch! Worked so well the last time.
I don’t care how many times he washes his hands, he is still the second dirtiest person in the government, next to tRump.
The fact that he himself is up for reelection surely factors in too.
Talk about an understatement!
Other gop senators should take notice when McConnell neck is on the line he wants nothing to do with Aca repeal, but when it wasn’t he was all for it.
What complete partisan bs that shows his only real concern is keeping his job with no real concern of doing a good job for the citizens of his state or country.
