Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned President Biden Friday that Republicans will not vote to raise the federal debt ceiling in December after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered a rant on the Senate floor Thursday that McConnell called “so partisan, angry, and corrosive that even Democratic Senators were visibly embarrassed by him and for him.”
After 11 Senate Republicans joined all 50 Democrats to end debate on a short-term increase to the nation’s borrowing limit, Schumer (D-NY) rose and accused the GOP of having “played a dangerous and risky partisan game.”
“I am glad that their brinksmanship did not work,” said Schumer, who added that “despite immense opposition from Leader McConnell and members of his conference, our [Democratic] caucus held together, and we have pulled our country back from the cliff’s edge that Republicans tried to push us over.”
“This tantrum encapsulated and escalated a pattern of angry incompetence from Senator Schumer,” McConnell (R-Ky.) wrote.
Schumer’s words did not affect the vote on the actual legislation to raise the debt ceiling, which passed along party lines. But the vitriol was too much for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who could be seen holding his head in his hands as Schumer spoke before walking out of the Senate chamber in disgust.

I’m confused... we’ve got to have hundreds of “next times” by now.
McConnell is a pus bag full of hot air. I hope he explodes one of these days.
if the election isn't corrected for 2020 then everything we do is just for naught....
I will never give another penny to these arses..
I had to wait a few minutes to lift my laughing self off the floor before typing this.
The Turtle needs to step down to be part of saving The Republic.
He supported this while we were already in huge amounts of debt, so he will do it again.
More bullshit from the superior political class!I don’t think this is going to end well for them!
I detest the fools that reelected McConnell.
Exactly. So sick of the Republicrats.
Yeah Mitch,... you will.
It’s always one of the following...
When we have the majority again, we’ll...
Next time we’re going to play hardball...
We’re for fiscal restraint, and from now on...
When we have the majority AND a Republican president...
I’m so tired of this B.S. dog n pony show.
McConnell is a perfect example of the saying about politicians being like diapers. They need to be changed eventually, and for the same reasons
.
Right, sure, McConnell won’t vote with the RINOs NEXT time.
He leads them.
What a joke.
.
.
All these people absolutely loathe the Republican base.
That’s why they all love Biden so.

The Question begs why does Mitch continually feel pressure to assist the Democrats?
He passed Biden’s nominees, got on board with Porkulus and then infrastructure.
He feels no obligation whatsoever to oppose Biden, and there’s been no resistance to Biden.
The elected GOP undermined Trump at every curve though.

“This is not the hill to die on.” ~ Mitch McConnell
Somebody promised Chinese lackey Mitch something
The corruption of these folks is appalling
They truly deserve extreme prejudice
Better question: why does Mitch McConnell feel pressure to assist China?
Why? Always follow the money.
