I saw that article and thought maybe the author was confused because it was Mike Lee that said it. Has anyone verified that Mcconnell thinks it too?
I believe I saw it sourced and will look again. sorry for making that comment without a link.

It was from a former aide. Not a direct quote for McConnell.
