McConnell Says Trump Admin 'Paying the Price' for Lax COVID Social Distancing, Mask Wearing

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday said he hadn't been to the White House in over two months because the Trump administration weren't strictly following coronavirus guidelines and are now "paying the price for it."

Speaking to reporters in Kentucky, the Republican leader revealed that he hasn't "actually been to the White House since August the 6th, because my impression was their approach to how to handle this was different from mine, and what I insisted we do in the Senate, which is to wear masks and practice social distancing."

I’m very anti-social.

I need remedial practice in “social distancing”-—NOT!

McConnell is in the high risk category and he should be very careful. For normal healthy people survivability is in the high nineties.

I agree, but he seems a little impolitic in talking about Trump

I remember howMitch called for Social Security fits, right before the 2018 election. Dems used his words in their ads, helping them retake the a House. Did Mitch do that on purpose? It sure screwed up the remainder of Trumps first term.

hey mitch, the president needs all the support he can get right now- He’s under attack constantly from the left incase you weren’t aware- he does NOT need you criticizing him too while the left are piling on him- do the party a favor right now, and support the president or keep quiet- any petty grievances you have can wait- all you are doing is fueling the opposition at this time in history- stop it!

Mitch told Senators up for re-election to run away from Trump. The Turtle is sleaze bag without gonads.

I think he just bumbled, he didn’t do that on purpose. If McTurtle was a closet anti-Trumper he would have gone along with the Schiff-peachment.

mitch is driving a wedge in the republican party. Now every msm “journalist” will be asking every republican running the same question. They will each one lose votes ether way they answer. This is intentional sabotage.
