Yes it is Mitch and we will never forget or forgive your part in this. NEVER and I hope you live with your failing body but your mind aware for another 20 years so you can wallow in the pig sty you made of the republican party.

I would believe that the Devil has already built a new sub-level in hell for all the RepubliCON politicians and Trump fellow conspirators.

Trump could have never lasted a week in office if it hadn't have been for ALL the U.S. Republican Senators, House members and Red State governors..........

Cognitive disconnect. His racism and Libertarian Religion is greater than his intellect.
Any time he gets close to reality that doesn't fit the narrative of either of above, he has to go pander to his creed, not with Reality. He'll state a solid truth showing he understands what's at stake, then go ahead and continue pursuing political expedientcy to block even a bi-partisan solution if it might slightly damage his position or money in the long run.

He's a wicked smart coward. He got his, so F*** the rest of us. Typical Randroid model American Conservative.

“The election’s over and we’re moving on,” he told the publication when asked if he regrets not doing more to stop Trump from taking office again. “He has an enormous audience, and he just won a national election, so there’s no question he’s the most influential Republican out there.”

he supported Trump's election anyway. He said that he and Trump are on the same team. And he will support Trump all the way when he nominates more right wing extremists to the federal courts. Mitch is a disgusting excuse for a person.

"By rights Mitch McConnell's tombstone should read that he presided over the end of the Senate. And I'd add a second line: He broke America. No man has done more in recent years to undermine the functioning of the US government. He has been the epitome of unprincipled leadership, the triumph of tactics in service of short-term power." -- Dana Milbank

Mitch did nothing to stop him. America was in danger when Trump was president. Mitch did nothing to stop him. America was in danger when Trump incited an insurrection in 2021. Mitch did nothing. America was in danger with Trump as a candidate in 2024. Mitch did nothing.

Fact is Mitch benefited from Trump in every case. He expected Dems to take him down and saw a win-win. He and the GOP would blame Dems and ride the wave to more GOP wins.

One has to wonder if Mitch’s personal wealth may be at risk. No way on earth he is finally seeing the light.

You could have stopped him but your selfishness stopped you.

You bear the full responsibility for all the things trump got away with.

You knew he would destroy this country but you chose not to stop him.

Itchy Mitchy is way slow on getting a clue.

But republicons did not want a clue. Did not want truth. Wanted only power, and lies have been their tool to get it.

They will rot in hell for their lies to the American people.

It doesn't work that way, mitch. You are a HUGE part of why we're in this mess and you can't wash away your own treason in your final weeks in office. This is your legacy. It should be written on your tombstone.
