Establishment hack Mitch McConnell loves fellow Swamp-dweller Liz Cheney but despises the people's politician Marjorie Taylor Greene.
========================================================
If you want to know how backwards Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s thinking is, one needs only look at the pair of statements he released to CNN (of course) yesterday. The reigning GOP member of The Swamp embraced mushy moderate neocon Liz Cheney while panning rising conservative star Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“Liz Cheney is a leader with deep convictions and the courage to act on them,” McConnell said. “She is an important leader in our party and in our nation. I am grateful for her service and look forward to continuing to work with her on the crucial issues facing our nation.”
Cheney rebuked President Trump with her words as well with a vote to impeach him in the House of Representatives over so-called “incitement” of the Capitol riots on January 6th. She has already drawn primary challengers and may have a hard time retaining the GOP nomination despite having the name-recognition given to her by her former Vice President father, Dick Cheney.
Shortly after releasing his statement about Cheney, McConnell turned again to CNN to voice his concerns about Greene. He claimed her conspiracy theories are hurting the Republican Party and America.
“Loony lies and conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country,” McConnell said in a statement. “Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality. This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”
During the 2020 election season, Greene was attacked by everyone on the left and many on the right for being associated with “QAnon,” the loose and diverse group of people who embrace some or all of the mysterious posts associated with an unknown figure or figures known as “Q.” Since winning her election, Greene has had every controversial thing she’s ever posted publicly drawn back up and dragged through the mud.
She quickly retorted to McConnell after his statement.
The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully.
This is why we are losing our country.

Establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Liz Cheney want the status quo to return with them “opposing” Democrats gingerly while doing nothing to fix the nation. Marjorie Taylor Greene represents the people and will fight for us.
Mitch you are such a waste of space. Why don’t you grow a pair?
The Patriot wing of the GOP is moving in and the RINOs HATE it. They know it means the end of their “bend over and grab your ankles” approach to “working” with the traitorous demonRATs, not to mention an end to their sweet deals with foreign enemies, like McConnell’s and his wife’s with China.
GO Marjorie Green! You have a growing fan base “out here”!!
Mitch is Schumer’s B!tch for at least the next two years and probably permanently...................
The entire Republican leadership teams of both the senate and house are traitors to their party and their constituents. Donald Trump campaigned for them. They have betrayed him and the people who voted for him.
“...despite having the name-recognition given to her by her former Vice President father, Dick Cheney. “
Dick Cheney is Liz’ former father? Mr. Vice President, while your daughter is pretty low, there’s no reason to disown her. Daughters are daughters. Believe me, I have a daughter who’s done some pretty rotten things. But she’s still my present daughter, not my former. Not that she’s ever voted to impeach Donald Trump, mind you.
80 million Americans will be there when it is time for all of them to re up. They will eat the sh## they pushed on us
Mitch is for Mitch......
Securing more money and patronage for his family and friends...
Protecting his legacy.....
Not for you, me, or the American people.....
He only promotes other legislators that know that and grovel at his feet for their piece.....
Postcard chump for term limits.
Mitch, you need to understand that we America First republicans are far, far more valuable to you than the elitist, Globalist types like Liz Cheney. There are a whole lot more of us, and you are just pi$$ing us off by backing her.
I like green over all, but her lasers from space caused wildfires is a big red flag. Would any person get away with that thinking?
You folks can have the GOP.
I’m done.
Mitch McConnell, who urged Republican governors to appoint losers such as Luther Strange, Martha McSally and Kelly Loeffler.
Makes me want to support Greene.
I’ll be dropping out of the GOP post haste!
Well, I don’t like America last politicians, but I also don’t know whats supposed to be so great about Greene since she seems to be all about the crazy crap. Why this choice between the two? Seems a bit contrived. We have nice normal people who are not the darlings of the Bushie set or Q-Anon but are actually representing their voters. For whatever reason the voters chose both of these people but I don’t see why either one has to end up with any kind of leadership post outside of that.
I think his actions prove he’s not running again in six years — he knows this is his last term, and may even retire before it’s over. Part of me is surprised he ran again this time, given his age and health.
He will show even more of his true colors, and will be no friend to true conservatives.
Don’t fall for the ‘Either / Or Trap’ set up by the MSM and their DNC propaganda masters...................
His wife has them in a jar on her dresser.
For his next act, he will want a bronze statue to honor his best friend Mitt romney.
