Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Sunday again blasted the US’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan as “one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history” — saying it will only leave terrorists “emboldened and excited” going forward.
“This is one of the worst foreign policy decisions in American history,” the Kentucky Republican said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Much worse than Saigon because after we left Saigon, there weren’t Vietnamese terrorists who were planning on attacking us here at home.”
The senator added, “You know, just because we decide to quit fighting doesn’t mean the terrorists go away. So they’re still out there. They’re invigorated. They’re emboldened and excited about the success they see in bringing America to its knees in Afghanistan.”

Turtle taking a page out of Graham’s well worn playbook. When in the minority, attack and make conservative sounds. If by some accident power comes your way, hide.

McConnell and the rest of the GOP very much prefer for democrats to be in charge, screwing things up so they can point to their failures.
Democrats prefer to be in charge, intentionally making things worse so they can blame republicans for what the democrats have done.

I will take McConnell seriously when he introduced impeachment articles against the Joint Chiefs, Intelligence Chiefs and Biden.
Until then, he is posing for the camera.

If he never, ever opened his useless pie hole ever again to say anything, I don’t think it would be soon enough for me.
