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.

Mitch is not on our side.
Enemies domestic
When one hears of the death of another, reactions range from tears to joy. We’ll leave predictions of the reactions when McScroogeface dies. May his grave be covered with Dorkbamastuff.
HOORAY JD Vance! HOORAY Pete Hegseth!
Mitch needs to have a conversation with Harry Reids brother.
Yes
If Mitch has any committee positions, Sen. Thune should pull each and every one of them, replace Mitch with MAGA senators, and relegate Mitch to the back bench.
Yes. Like the entire Democrat Party, Mitch McConnell is a domestic enemy of this country. He is, and has been in office solely for his own personal gain.
The ultimate irony would be if Mitch noped because of “allegations”.
As Hamwise Gamgee says in Lord Of The Rings, “all’s well as ends better”. Not that I’m some sad Rings geek or anything.
I’d like to see it happen, but Thune kissed McConnell’s ring to get the job.
Mitch McConnell echoed his ChiCom puppetmasters.
McConnell serves himself, not the people of Kentucky nor the United States.
It would be a shame if his Chinese connections were outed during the course of an investigation.
NO ONE is more entangled in the CCP than this loathing POS.
Mitch isn’t going to last 4 years.
I have a feeling Vice President Vance is going to be spending a lot of time on the senate floor breaking ties.
Bet there are lots of large contracts in the Pentagon attached to the China Mitch crime family.
Or his exercise machine...
He is on the Bush Military side, period. Always has been. Now the MIC has directed him to have his sisters, Collins and Murkowski form a voting vote block, which he tells them how to vote. He thinks he will live forever, but none of us do. So he will continue until he is gone.
