Disparaging Leader McConnell is wrong and is supportive of the leftists enemies
I don’t think Kabar disparaged McConnell, but said he is to blame for the runaway, so-called Republicans who obviously opposed Trump for political reasons.
The party needs discipline. Mitch can punish those who go WAY overboard, or not.
He should. There are times to support the party over democrat nonsense, like last years bogus impeachment. Objectively, they had no case, but Romney votes for it? That’s not only slamming the President, but the party, too.
He should face committee lose at least. No way in Hell did Romney really think Trump—or any president—should be removed for nonsense. He just hates him.
Romney let the “Partisan Politics Impeachment” we feared would happen, happen. Impeachment can’t be about revenge.
It has to be for real crimes and misdemeanors. What becomes the next president and so forth? Romney hurt the Republican cause. Not everything about the bogus Trump impeachment was binary, but about the country and role of the presidency. The democrats used it as a political weapon, and Romney helped them.
Besides that, McConnell has done a great job on judges and nominations. But that’s not what Kabar was talking about—just wayward “Republicans” who really need to stop show-boating.
McConnell has been fixated on judicial confirmations and less than enthusiastic in support of President Trump. The more we learn about ongoing coup attempts against the President, the more questions I have about McConnell’s role as part of the Gang of 8. Ryan, Burr, and McConnell received the same briefings as Nunes, but only Nunes blew the whistle on what was going on. While the House was investigating and impeaching Trump, the Rep-controlled Senate sat on its hands.
The corrupt SSCI under Burr and now Rubio have perpetuated the Russia hoax. McConnell has been AWOL when it comes to defending Trump and castigating the coup attempt. And Peter Schweizer, Profiles in Corruption, has detailed some damning charges of McConnell’s profiting from his office and his family’s business dealings with China.
McConnell is not immune from scrutiny and criticism, your opinion not withstanding. Free speech is still a right under the Constitution. Nothing wrong with that.
