Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday walked back his call for corporate America to “stay out of politics” after several big businesses publicly voiced opposition to Georgia’s voter integrity law.
“I didn’t say that very artfully yesterday,” McConnell replied when asked about his comments. “They’re certainly entitled to be involved in politics. They are.

and that's not counting multiple foreign policy accomplishments that many people considered impossible.
WRONG!
When that government has granted that commercial entity quasi-monopolistic privileges or when that commercial entity has the role of a "public convenience," the government is most certainly entitled to withdraw its protective hand and yank those privileges.

The fact that McCain/Feingold was dissed by the Supremes does NOT suggest that they are conservative, but just pro-globohomo-corporation.
Their decision in Kelo only makes sense if we see the Federalist Society as an organization seeding the Supreme Court with pro-corporate whores rather than true blue conservatives.
Trump was responsible for all that. Republicans in Congress fought him at every turn on border security.
no, “fighting him at every turn” was what you saw after the Republicans lost the house in the second half of trump’s term.
first amendment guarantees of free speech are not “yankable”.
Special privileges granted to quasi-monopolistic entities and "public conveniences" CAN be yanked - effectively forcing a commercial enterprise that has gotten "too big for its britches" to "get back in line."

NERDS!!!!!
Remember that one day the Turtle tried to pretend he has a spine?
The strain was too much for him and it didn’t fool anybody anyway.
like a jellyfish, ole Mitch has no backbone.
No way in hell this worm should be Senate minority leader.
“fighting him at every turn” was what you saw after the Republicans lost the house in the second half of trump’s term.”
‘Got to wonder 🤔 about THAT election, too.
“...it doesn’t matter if their is a r or d associated with it. They are all just scum!”
You may want to rethink that a bit once the Dems decide to kill the filibuster and make gun ownership ILLEGAL.
The Turtle is safely ensconced in the Senate until 2026, thanks to riding to victory on Trump's coat-tails.
We can't touch him. But what WE THE PEOPLE can do is vote out every RINO who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with conservative patriots.
Send a message in 2022.
Yeah, well Corporations' reply to Mitch was "fine, we'll stay out of politics, and that includes giving money to the likes of YOU."
Mitch has the spine of an earthworm.
They are just getting what they paid Mitch for
The ethics and morals involved with legally bribing or lobbying are complicated. Lobbying can, at times, be spoken of with contempt, when the implication is that people with inordinate socioeconomic power are corrupting the law in order to serve their own interests. When people who have a duty to act on behalf of others, such as elected officials with a duty to serve their constituents' interests or more broadly the public good, can benefit by shaping the law to serve the interests of some private parties, a conflict of interest exists. Many critiques of lobbying point to the potential for conflicts of interest to lead to agent misdirection or the intentional failure of an agent with a duty to serve an employer, client, or constituent to perform those duties. The failure of government officials to serve the public interest as a consequence of lobbying by special interests who provide benefits to the official is an example of agent misdirection. That is why lobbying is seen as one of the causes of a democratic deficit.
and admit DC as a state. And pack the Supreme Court. And etc etc etc.
But the FR screamers will, weirdly enough, blame the Republicans for what the democrats are doing because that is literally the only thing they know what to do.
Lol.... that’s the truth.
