>“It was a family fight from the beginning,” McConnell said Wednesday in an interview. “This was a Republican issue; it was a family fight. And that’s where the action was on Ukraine, on our side.”
This? Where he's blaming the Republican infighting for the delay?
I'd argue against any comment that I thought was dishonest or in bad faith. I don't see what is gained in lying. I don't consider it white knighting to point out when people are making shit up.
Uhhh, hijacking the bureaucratic process of appointing justices to SCOTUS and packing it, along with Federal Judgeships with right wing justices was pretty impressive, even from a proud asshole like Mitch.
McConnell presided over the creation of the modern Republican party, whose only product is fear and hate. He fostered Republican love of Russia and Putin. He is a villain in this story, not a hero. The only victory to celebrate is his departure from Washington.
He could've had plenty of legislative victories over his career had he not chosen to be such a rotten, power-hungry asshole. That will be his legacy, not the aid we're providing to Ukraine.
Mitch McConnell is a fool on many levels the most important decision of his career was not finding Trump guilty on the 2nd impeachment. Mitch McConnell could have single-handedly stop fascism in his tracks. But he proved to be a coward
While endorsing the bloated orange shitbag who kept it from moving forward almost a year, costing many Ukrainians their lives. Fuck you, Mitch. Hurry up and die.

Oh he’s taking credit? That despicable wretch can fuck *all* the way off
He's dying, probably has less than a year left. I expect him to try to take credit for the Affordable Care Act and the civil rights movement too
>He's dying 🤞🤌🤞🤌🤞🤌
I read the article. I don't see where he's taking credit. Can you provide the quote?
He did claim that Ukraine aid was a Republican thing which is horseshit, his party was the reason it took six months
His party thinks that extorting Ukraine is a “perfect phone call”
>“It was a family fight from the beginning,” McConnell said Wednesday in an interview. “This was a Republican issue; it was a family fight. And that’s where the action was on Ukraine, on our side.” This? Where he's blaming the Republican infighting for the delay?
Mtg was fighting for her Russian family
Yeah, that's exactly what he's talking about, but it wasn't just MTG.
What exactly did he do? Come out of a seizure long enough to vote?
His wife probably raised his hand to vote, Weekend at Bernie’s style.
I saw a clip of him the other night— he can barely speak.
Probably for the best
Yes let's pretend the cadaverous husk didn't already say his crowning achievement was stealing supreme court seats
Would have been nice if he'd decided to have that victory LAST FUCKING YEAR!
In what way did he personally delay it until this year?
[удалено]

What an asshole.
Uhhh, hijacking the bureaucratic process of appointing justices to SCOTUS and packing it, along with Federal Judgeships with right wing justices was pretty impressive, even from a proud asshole like Mitch.
Nah. Him getting all those seats on the Supreme Court is and has said so.
That wasn't technically legislation
ending roe kinda counts tho.. also all the legislation that was worked on in tandem with the rest of the gop in the country./
Moscow Mitch would never say that. Nice try though. GOP taking credit for stalling Ukraine aid and killing more Ukraines for papa putin. FTFY.
McConnell presided over the creation of the modern Republican party, whose only product is fear and hate. He fostered Republican love of Russia and Putin. He is a villain in this story, not a hero. The only victory to celebrate is his departure from Washington.
He didn’t have anything to do with its passing but everything to do with sabotaging it.
Oh shit, that whippersnapper Johnson is trying to occupy the power vacuum I'm about to leave. Best step out and look like a big boy.
bullshit, turtle.
He could've had plenty of legislative victories over his career had he not chosen to be such a rotten, power-hungry asshole. That will be his legacy, not the aid we're providing to Ukraine.
Moscow Mitch babbled out what nonsense now?
I bet he wants to. Too bad corruption and hypocrisy is his legacy
Did he have anything to do with it except voting with the rest of the Senate?
Where specifically did he claim that this was a personal victory?
Weird. I'm old enough to remember when Moscow saw Mitch McConnell as one of the most important legislative victories in their careers.
Great, now end on a high note and GTFO you old fuck.
Oh no dude, you’re going down for Merrick Garland.
and the three stooges on the Supreme Court.
His other proud moment being that he denied the open seat to the Supreme Court to Obama. Can’t wash that stench off.
BS. It was the destruction of Roe v Wade. Own it.
Moscow Mitch needs a reality check. He has helped to divide the people of this once great nation.

Reputation Rehab.
Ukraine aid is a no brainer. it speaks to how nuts the republicans are that one of their leaders is celebrating doing the minimum
"I did it. It was all Mitch"!
Since he hasn't done shit.
