KY Newspaper Op-ed Calls Out McConnell For ‘Violating’ Constitutional Oaths | The Last Word | MSNBC
Moscow Mitch will do what Putin tells him to do. That’s where his loyalty lays.
Mitch needs to be sent home forever
He needs to be sent to prison.
McConnell fearless corruption stems from spineless Centrist Democrats AKA Republican lites! Bernie2020!!!🇺🇸
Hang em
Mitch and his wife are having an american fire sale. While trump supporters encourage this, trump steals their money to build hotels.
Steals what money?
@Adrienne Bolles she actively used her position to help her family get contracts and Derepaska that Russian oligarch mentioned several times in the Muller report is building a $800 million dollar plant in KY. There’s more but I didn’t feel like typing it.
@Jack Parker where do you get your news?
Jack Parker please sit down and remain quiet for the rest of the 2020 campaign!
Jack Parker To funny, Blinded by the lights!
Moscow Mitch, Lindsey Graham and so many other Republicans need to be voted out. ASAP..🙏
And pelosi
I’m praying for that, Alessia!
Don’t forget Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows! All Chump bootlickers!
Alessia C***** right
History will know him as Moscow Mitch.
Very true however I will know him as Mitch the b****
I’m a Hoosier, have many Kentuckian friends, and am proud that they are protesting and taking a stand against mitch. He HAS to go.
@Fact Finder I couldn’t agree more🙂
@Ivanka speads for Quincy Jones I’m not calling you a liar but your facts are totally untrue and it seems like you’re just protecting the Democrat socialist dreamer party who want socialism in America so get your facts straight before you open your ignorant mouth and bash your president I guess you’re an atheist too he doesn’t believe in God cuz the Bible says pray for your leader I prayed for Obama and I knew he was a piece of s***
Kevin NYC Sounds good to me and 2/3 of the patriotic American people!
HAS TO GO !!
The Republicans are a party of thieves and crooks.
add traitorous sellouts to that list, thanks.
Oh well Trump breaks the laws and Moscow Mitch is like why can I not break oath, Oath to republican party does not mean sh ***t
@Kilgore Trout telling those that were called to testify that they can’t and also refusing to hand over any documents is obstruction. Not even Nixon obstructed like Trump did.
@Jason m You’re telling me this is unprecedented? You should look at Obama’s record on this matter.
@Jason m And you have a bot account. It’s easy to tell….you all sound exactly like the MSM.
@Kilgore Trout try again lemming. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/trump-wrong-about-obama-documents/
The Constitution of the United States of America is being disgraced by some in our Senate. The Constitution of the United States of America is always to be protected and followed all the time, not only when is convenient for your agenda.
Oslo Vega you forgot no class as well!!! But I agree with you!
Joey Starrett so do you think P.O.W.s are not heroes too?
@Patrick Downing a fetus isn’t a baby Neanderthal.
Jim Battersbee Those who appose the Constitution and the BILL OF RIGHTS need to go to prison!
Sooner or later Trump is going down and Moscow Mitch McConnell and Miss Lindsey Graham is going down with him.
CLINTON AND OBAMA are the real, PRE-EXISTING RUSSIA COLLUSION—Clinton sold the Russians URANIUM, nobody else ! PRE- EXISTING CRIME SYNDICATE WAS IN PLACE before TRUMP !
@Theo Fulk buh buh buh buh but Obammmma! 😭😭😪😥🤡🍄🤥😭😭🐃💩😭<
Sooner or later that dude Jesus is coming too.
Moscow mitch says he has no political biased but back in 2010 a vowed to make Obama a 1 term president..
Moscow Mitch will be remembered as the most craven, and unprincipled Senator in the history of the Senate.
There will be a day of reckoning come November 2020. Such a pity, the principled and moderate republicans who can’t tolerate trump’s character either resigned or retired.
@Jason m there was however a case for criminal charges to be brought against he for obstruction of justice by destroying evidence. She would be in jail except Comey decided not to charge her. Flynn was indighted for lying during an interview with the FBI. there is evidence that the FBI actually entrapped him. Either way is is much lower offense than what Hilary did. The man served our nation and was the key leader in destoying Al Quiada, our biggest enemy. There is a lot of anger and frustration about his lop sided justice.
He won’t be remembered at all.
Just shows how good their word is, a good reminder to the rest of the world governments on who will keep their word making foreign policy.
They are all corrupt!
Best we can do is vote them out.
Like our votes matter 🤣
@BJ Smith you arr right.
Russ Martin ,
Not in a time of war
DirtyBird760 Not! Bernie will support the people not war or the to big to fail banks or wars that never end, huge tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires, or the to large military budget! Our tax money will be spent to improve the lives of the many not the few who do nothing to earn our tax dollars!
They are corrupt and even if u vote the slobes will cheat, cant u see his not a illegal president, the slobes are still trying to lie, steal and rigg again. Dirty mtfers
Moscow Mitch is not a good man. Is he? Is he putting the *noose* around his own neck?
He doesn’t have a neck!
Paul you Mean that Stretched ,Hangin Turkey Neckchin
@Barak Ben Dawadah Give him another year Barak. Gravity ….
@Andrew Fraser Russian made ….? His wife would love it! She would go like: “ooooh! Red too …”
I sure hope so! He has done a great deal of damage to our country! It is time to move our country forward without MOSCOW MITCH !
How is it possible for this dude to even preside over the Senate trial when his wife is in trumps administration and she is corrupt too? Conflict of interest?
Sorry, did you miss the part at the very beginning where they said he’s literally directly working with the white house on trial strategies….?
This whole thing is corrupt, keep up
@Sprink Hole troll nerd with no social skills
@Amen Knowtech: I checked the procedures for impeachment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States#Procedure
Congress investigates (impeachment part one).
The House brings charges (impeachment part two).
The Senate conducts a trial (impeachment part three).
During the trial, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is in charge. The current Chief Justice is John Roberts.
“Politicians are a lot like diapers: They should be changed frequently, and for the same reason.”
(Mark Twain)
Why swap out corrupt treasonous liars for different corrupt treasonous liars? Putin’s GOP needs to be swapped out for patriotic Americans.
@Richard Curren Well said, Richard, and thank you!
@angela bluebird60 I would like to compliment you too. You’ve made a good point. Sanders “corrupt rigged establishment” labels are misguided divisive and unfair to many hard-working Democrats.
This time republican leaders needs to be changed like dirty diapers for real.
@Richard Curren A-men to that!
MICH MCCONNELL NEEDS to BE REMOVE FROM OFFICE AND LOCK up..
Ricky Ricjardson right
McConnell sounds like a soulless fellow.
ALL THESE SENIOR POLITICAL LEADERS NEED TO RETIRE! HAD THEIR DAY AND DID NOTHING WITH IT. ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. I AM OLD ALSO.
@Willie Thomas Not when We the People are voting and the candidates are winning because most of the People elected them. Our history proves out how fortunate we are to have had some long serving, absolutely devoted Representatives of the People.
@Wayne Harris PLEASE DO
Not only that, quit causing more damage to this country in the name of power and wealth! They should’ve been gone a long time ago!
@angela bluebird60 U HAVE A PROBLEM GETTING things in order! PRAY.
angela bluebird60 You will have a hard time selling that statement! Our homeless population keeps growing and people continue to die from lack of medical and affordable drugs while most Americans have 2 or 3 jobs just to get exist!
Mitch McConnell is Kentucky’s Bribed Chicken.
He also has business with Russian investors 🤔🤔🤔hmmm Moscow
Mitch is a perfect name.Now time for some finger lickin bribed chicken🐔
His wife is a criminal too.
@Ann van de Kew I think he was saying Mitch looks and sounds like a turkey….which he does.
I see what you did there… Indeed, a cleaver play on words. Well done
