No CPAC invitation for Mitch McConnell. ‘Next year would be a better year.’

Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s Republican leader, has not been invited to this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, two sources familiar with the event’s organizing tell McClatchy.

-snip-

If McConnell was to show up on the CPAC stage, he would risk being met by a hostile audience, given the group’s loyalty to Trump. While McConnell voted to acquit Trump of inciting the insurrection in his second impeachment trial this month, the Kentuckian said the former president was morally responsible for the rampage and could be held criminally or civilly liable.

“There’s always tension between the grassroots and the establishment. That’s part of the history of this thing,” said the CPAC source, adding that the change of location from the D.C. Beltway to Florida will make the crowd more inherently conservative and pro-Trump. “You’re not going to have the swampy set.”

Risk? I hope it is a certainty that there would be boos and whistles and catcalls and the self-serving China whore traitor would not get a word in edgewise.

Surely he knows this, yet he has stabbed Trump and MAGAs in back.

He and others like him just don’t care...probably because they think they will win

This has probably made Mitch McConnell sad, and a little embarrassed.

Maybe the Chinese Communist Party can cheer Mitch up by funneling even more money to him through his father-in-law.

From Wikipedia:

Federal disclosures cited by The New York Times revealed a gift to Chao and her husband Mitch McConnell from Chao’s businessman father James, valued at between US$5 million and $25 million. The company her father founded (and which her sister, Angela, currently runs), The Foremost Group, has extensive ties to the Chinese state and Chinese elites.

Mitch better not pop up at that conference if he knows whats good for him. VP Pence actually was invited, but chose not to come. I think that was a good idea. Feelings are still too raw.

McConnell is back in the business of selling 10 GOP cloture votes to the highest bidder.
