Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has never had much to say about Donald Trump. But lately, he has fallen completely silent.

McConnell’s silence is especially notable in light of Trump’s recent complaints that the election is rigged and he might not ultimately accept the results.

He’s more concerned with preserving his office, perks, privileges, and salary than the constitution or the American way of life.

Hey AP, why are you reporting this instead of all the Wikileaks stories?

Or reporting on the instigation of violence and voter fraud confession and illegal superpac coordination by Hillary from the Project Veritas videos?

Wait, so mum is more quiet than quite?

I thought mum is what nigerian scammers call mom while claiming they grew up in the US.

The definition of “mum” in this context is to be silent about a certain subject, apparently derived from Shakespeare (Henry VI Part II, Scene 2):
Seal up your lips, and give no words but mum: / The business asketh silent secrecy.
This is from Sir John Hume’s soliloquy at the end of the scene.

McConnell is a sick jackass. He has done nothing to support Trump. Guess he would rather live under a communists government like we have now.

Trump for President.

That’s a lot better than him pretending he is fighting for us.

"Sen. McConnell has gone from quiet to mum"

Well, that's a good start -- he's far less objectionable than when he runs his mouth. Maybe the next step would be for him to go 'away'...

Well, looking at his voting record from the Reagan years, that may be indeed his preferred form of government.

The AP (Associated Prestitutes) are upset because they wanted a sound bite of Mitch bashing Trump. Obviously, he didn’t give them one.
