New Yorker Chronicles How McConnell Propped Up Trump WH | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Mitch McConnell should be tried at Hague for crimes against humanity. Such an evil man.
@Jason Gerard I was agreeing with you. I voted Republican once,( Reagan). Regretted it as soon as I got back to the States.
All the Evil doers should be tried by foreign courts. No Christian influence.
Joseph Inman sorry. Just use to the Trolls. My apologies.
So should trump
The media lies and is controlled by the cabal. Trump is the only president that is not taking pay for the position. If you wanna learn the truth check out qthefall.com
Moscow Mitch is not a good person, he is evil, he is the biggest problem this Nation has had and could very well destroy this Democracy.
The biggest problem? Are you quite sure there isn’t anyone else who might be an even bigger problem?
@mo Yes, that’s why they are commenting. He is a weasel, he will say one thing if it’s a Democrat speaking or issue, and he will do the exact opposite if it is a Republican or issue.
So Mich has a chowmain fetish
@Squirrel Nutz mich McConnell has a pag pag fetish
Next time they impeach trump! vote him out you losers in the GOP senate. We didnt have to have this pandemic, it was them and trump.
Moscow Mitch McConnell is a traitor. History will remember him as corrupt, amoral, politician, who sold out his country for personal gain and power.
@Craig Crawford And the animals behave much better than we do, mankind has become a virus to the earth, destroying and fouling the land and the seas.
@GRANT MCCABE Yeah, it’s called sin. Mankind is sinful…
@Danielle Ashley he doesn’t need salary when he gets bribes from the rich and benefis from insider trading, gets tax payer money funneled to his private businesses and gets “loans” from foreign governments with no interest, payment schedules etc. You are losing more money by not paying him a salary when you allow presidents to do any kind of business whatsoever.
Craig Crawford Repubs ARE animals!
Danielle Ashley If you believe that, I have a great bridge to sell you🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
We cant stand mitch mcconnell in ky he will soon find that out.
ky loves mitch -thats why hes in power.
i pray kentucy will do the right thing
amen to that.
#votehimout, MITCH MCCONNELL and his wife are selling out America for his own business. Pass it on.
His CHINESE wife.
Mitch is compromised by Russians and Chinese. He’s an enemy of the state and will flee this country should Trump appear to lose this November. This is his last year as senator either way. He will either go to jail after a Pyrrhic victory this November, be voted out and indicted, or retire early and flee.
McConnell should go down in history as one of the most despicable political figures, ever. He goes against everything democracy is supposed to stand for.
Should be charged with deraliction of duty and oath Obstruction treason and traitor against the United States of America.Hold accountable.Arrest and try and lock him up.Accepting wages under false pretenses.
Moscow Mitch has promised Sukelo Ruth seat Tokyo Rose bribed judges.lock them up
MOSCOW MITCH IS GREAT EXAMPLE FOR TERM LIMITS.
MCCONNELL IS A CAREER CRIMINAL.
10 of the top 25 poorest counties in America reside in Kentucky but these (R)’s just keep voting for him.
@Killroy was here Yeah I guess more corporations will never be held accountable now that our Supreme court has a 5 to 4 partisan vision of the constitution. (R) leadership today is bankrupting America since Reagan, as only (D)Clinton and (D)Obama have even tried to reduce debt but deficits don’t matter even in a tragedy. Good comment friend!
@BonerMaroner SCOTUS CHANGES! COMING CHANGES!
@BonerMaroner Stupid is as stupid does, and they keep electing Mitch McConnell?
@BonerMaroner FDR, wouldn’t have done what the Retiring GOP and trump have done!
McConnell owns this entire mess, especially the costly US delay in pandemic response. Trump is a clown, but his senate harem, under McConnell, voted their strong approval to continue pleasuring him, KNOWING fully that he would pose a grave danger to the country in the event of a crisis. And here we are.
uubuuh And the problem is that the Senate is afraid of him. Maybe they don’t want one of his ridiculous name tags. What President does these things?!!
So called wealthiest country in the world, treats its poor like subhumans
And the plot thickens, very interesting to say the least. So now things are starting to make perfect sense. Moscow Mitch & his wife have some serious skin in the game.
Vote this useless old reptile out of office! Let’s send Moscow Mitch packing!!
Dave Espo Please send him BACK to the Galapagos!
how long is this American embarassment going to continue to outrage the rest of the world ?
I have said it for more than ten years, McConnell is a traitor and deserves a free ride on a used guillotine bought from France
I agree
Of course she wanted transportation. Her family IS HUGE A SHIPPING FAMILY IN CHINA!!! They aren’t even subtle about it. Huge corruption in plain sight.
Right!🤷🏽♀️
And truckers wonder why we have these ELDs. Transportation has been her wet dream since the 90s.
Elaine Chau is NOT from P R China . She is from Taiwan.
lucillehan I am sure she doesn’t make any distinction in this case, as long as it goes to Asians rather than staying in Kentucky ! MM and his wife are big time grifters, just like his Orange BOSS! I cringe every time I see his toothless tortoise face! Go back to the Galápagos Islands, you family is waiting for you🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
lucillehan your point?
He’ll be remembered as Moscow Mitch 😈
They are just now lookong into this!? This whole administration is more corrupt then the Mafia.
WOW!!! … This administration is corrupt to the bone!!! What a disaster!!!
What a corrupt bunch evil people this administration is!!! Remember on November 2020!!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌊💙💙💙💙
i pray for RBG…to hold on till after Nov 4th
McConnell needs to fail on getting that seat filled
and get voted out of office!
The whole GOP is the most corrupt government in the world, bar none.
You fail to mention the Russian oligarchy that now owns the GOP thanks to Trump and Manafort.
Putin’s Russia?
@Mark Keogh Yes. Exactly.
John Carter ,Go back to the Trump channel is Fox News and let the grownups talk
Jim Battersbee ,Thank you but I’m not a part of that! I try my best to be a civil human being and follow the rules of law and the constitution
THE ONLY CHECKING OUR BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT ARE DOING , IS IN THEIR INTEREST AND BANK ACCOUNTS
