People already out here white washing Mitch McConnell, and the dude isn't even dead yet...

He is the head of the legislative branch of the GOP. He is the literal leader of the party. That means he's responsible for the direction of that party.

And no, he isn't doing anything meaningful to stop MAGA from infecting (again, that's literally his job) the GOP. He played a direct part in creating this beast, I couldn't really care less if he's lost control, or now pretends he bears no responsibility.

And that's not even including how he poisoned the Supreme Court for at least a generation.

If objective evil exists, this man is it. Do yourself a favor and just stop trying to excuse this man's words, actions, and behavior.

I hope he suffers even a fraction of the pain he has caused others before he does us all a favor and fucking dies.

I'm not sure what part of me calling this guy "evil" is excusing his behavior. I'm just saying it could be worse and soon will be. Don't go looking for drama.

I'm not looking for drama. You defended Mitch McConnell, and said that he's actually "put a stop" to some MAGA shit and that's just laughably absurd
