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 needs to go. Move into an adult care facility with Pedo Jo. The days of the DemonRATS screwing Americans while the GOP stands back and watches them do it are over.
Post 6: Timely reminder indeed.
That's why McConnell voted No, to send Hegseth a message that anything he wants to do in the Defense Department will have to go through McConnell to get it funded.

👍👍Go get’em Pete!
As far as I am concerned, Mitch was in on the Biden mental coverup. He has known Biden for many years and knew of Biden’s decline from the moment he announced his run for the 2020. He protected Joe and himself instead of the country.
That was then. This is now.
If Sen Thune wants to keep leading, he ought to act like a leader and show that lack of loyalty has consequences.
He will only have to do it once (maybe twice or thrice to cover Lisa and Susan’s perfidy)
Who here is surprised that McConnell voted against Hegseth. He controls and has power by backroom deals, whispers and innuendo. He needs to constantly taunted by our President.
Mitch was
His Chicom party wife majes him no less a traitor than the Chicom diamond clutching Hunter & Joe.
Ask again his sources of income... and lay bare his unofficial email addresses by which he operates.
Before long Mitch is going to need something.
” ... to send Hegseth a message that anything he wants to do in the Defense Department will have to go through McConnell to get it funded ... “
Hopefully the big changes won’t cost a lot of money.
I thought Thune removed him from that position. I read it yesterday somewhere.
I hope he follows your path.
“If Mitch has any committee positions, Sen. Thune should pull each and every one of them...”
I suspect McConnell and Thune are on the same team.
I am not sure, at all, how a person gets around getting shot in the head.
It would certainly change my perspective.
I think of Trump as a man of action, though he walks a narrow path.
This is how it will be for the next 4 years with these contrary traitors
Mitch is Thooon’s daddy.
Way to be an ass on the way out the door there mitch!
