As Fox News’s Chad Pergram reported, McConnell gave a nasty speech on the Senate floor following the vote explaining why he voted against RFK Jr and the Make America Healthy Again movement.
McConnell first turned to a predictable target every critic has used against RFK. Jr: vaccines.
“I’m a survivor of childhood polio,” McConnell said. “In my lifetime, I’ve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world.
“I will not condone the re-litigation of proven cures, and neither will millions of Americans who credit their survival and quality of life to scientific miracles.”
McConnell then viciously attacked RFK Jr. as a “dangerous conspiracy theorist” and accused him of “eroding trust in public institutions.” It should be noted McConnell never used this kind of language when referring to Anthony Fauci, a key villain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s pretty much what I was thinking as well.
So are you for or against RFK Jr’s confirmation? It’s one of the two, Republican Wildcat!
Gee, Mitch, anybody ever tell you that not all viruses abd, therefore, all vaccines are not the same??? The polio virus vaccine uses a live virus and so many others, like the flu, Covid, and many others don’t. Different kinds of viruses that spread differently. The flu vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting the flu just like the Covid vaccine didn’t. Polio vaccine is a different story and crazy old Mitch should know that before he opens his big Chona mouth and lies to the world.
Maybe he was smarter than ole dingy and didn’t call a bluff to get himself actually beaten...
And all at once. Can’t help the immune system. And most are not true vaccines.
Weasels, mumps and chicken pox aren’t killers. We had weasel parties in the 60s. Get it, suffer a few days, never get it again.
He could have gone out with fond, or at least neutral memories about him. Instead, he’s chosen to go full retard for 1 reason or another.
I didn’t know they make glue from turtles. Learn something new every day.
When I was a kid the ONLY vaccines were smallpox and polio!! I can not believe how many damn vaccines they are pumping into these kids today it just can’t be good for them!!
McConnell is a vile POS! Roosevelt never whined about being a suffering polio survivor. He never took it out on anyone.
Ah, blow it out your wrinkled old arse! Anybody with any sense knows what you are......turd
I hope that all of the Freepers who loved ‘Cocaine Mitch’ have at least the decency to be ashamed of themselves for being such blind, trusting idiots.
McConnell didn’t write that... He’s in the same cognitive decline boatas Biden. Probably caused by vaccines!!!
RFK does not want to ban vaccines. He has said this many times. He wants to ban unsafe vaccines such as the covid shot. It is not even a vaccine but is RNA engineering of the DNA in our cells.
It is obvious that Mitch is now a bitter old man and probably a little senile and has no reason to be in the senate. If he had any integrity, he would resign and let a younger person take the seat to do KY’s business...
I don’t know how old you are, but I’m old enough to remember some of the terror my parents suffered each polio season. I remember my friend getting it, and seeing her in an iron lung. I never saw her again. I remember the lines when the whole country got the vaccine and the relief
And then I remember seeing some of those polio survivors getting Post Polio Syndrome as they aged, suffering increasing problems as that long “dormant” virus again wreaked havoc on their bodies. That’s what this man has. Why he has not resigned and retired yet, though is beyond me.
Trump says he doesn’t know whether McConnell had it or not.
And again, I don’t doubt that people will very ill and crippled with it: I doubt that the polio virus was responsible, at least in most cases.
But you haven’t looked into the evidence either, which is striking given the firmness of your belief.
There you go, burdening us with the Past, instead of pretending that Trump’s embrace caused RFK,Jr’s lifetime of Left Wing nuttery to just up and evaporate. It will be interesting to see what he does in office and how long he lasts.
Can we give Mitch a dozen more booster shots or so? Stat?
