For 20-years we have called out the Machievellian nature of Mitch McConnell and his duplicitous agenda to support the UniParty apparatus in Washington DC. Heck, even the name of this site, “The Last Refuge” came from our non-pretending association as to the nature of the root cause of our problems within the Republican apparatus. Mitch McConnell has always been working for the other side.
Last night in the confirmation vote for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Mitch McConnell voted no. In an almost identical way to former Senator John McCain refusing to repeal Obamacare, Mitch McConnell ends his time in the senate with a very planned, purposeful and public rebuke of President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the military.
Do not overlook that Senator McConnell intentionally waited, just like McCain, to cast his ‘nay’ vote until the end of the vote call. McConnell did this with purpose and public intent, just like McCain. Vice-President JD Vance then steps-in to a 50/50 vote to cast the tie-breaking vote.
Mitch McConnell now exits the chamber as Pete Hegseth is now confirmed despite him.
President Trump was asked about Mitch McConnell’s vote as he departed California for the return to DC. Video Below:

NEW: Mitch McConnell seen waddling over to go shake hands with the Democrats after voting ‘NO’ for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation.
The move forced JD Vance to cast the final tie breaking vote.
The next four years will be a fight.

McConnell can be removed from that committee by Thune, once Trump gets ahold of Thune look for this to happen!! McConnell is NOT coherent enough to run this committee PERIOD!!!
He needs to have a conversation with John McCain.
“Mitch McConnell seen waddling over to go shake hands with the Democrats after voting ‘NO’ for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation.“
Like Tessio at Vito Corleone’s funeral.
Good one
Kentuckians are psychotic. Trump got about 65% of the vote, but if there was a head to head race between Trump and Governor Beshear, Beshear would win by 10 points. Too many teachers, retired teachers, and government workers sucking on the state teat.
