Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has some big balls, apparently. He spoke at the Republican National Convention, and he outright admitted that Republicans have been obstructing President Barack Obama during his entire administration.
McConnell said:
“We put Obamacare repeal on the President’s desk. He vetoed it. Donald Trump would sign it.”
“We passed a bill to finally build the Keystone pipeline. Obama vetoed it. Donald Trump would sign it.”
“We passed a bill to defund Planned Parenthood. Obama vetoed it. Donald Trump would sign it.”
“And on that sad day when we lost Justice Scalia, I made another pledge that Obama would not fill his seat.”
“That honor will go to Donald Trump next year.”
Hopefully, McConnell won’t be the Senate Majority Leader in 2017. His bragging about not doing his job will hopefully get him out of that Congressional seat. He just blatantly admitted that they are putting off the Supreme Court decision because he doesn’t want Obama appointing another judge.
He has become famous for not doing his job. One woman trolled him by calling his office and asking what his price is. She said:
“I know that he’s for sale. I mean, you can get him to either introduce legislation or not introduce legislation based on whether or not you’ve given him money. So what does an ordinary citizen, like is there a special rate that an ordinary citizen can pay to get him to introduce legislation or vote a certain way?”
Back in May, McConnell had a meeting with Trump. He said:
“We both agree upon something incredibly important: the need to unite the Republican Party and work together to defend our Republican Senate majority and defeat Hillary Clinton.”
“We face some major challenges this year. But with the full strength of an energized and united Republican Party, I know we can win.”
Vote Blue in November! We need to get assholes like this out of Congress.
Here is his RNC speech:
