Retiring Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said in an interview that too many politicians in Washington “don’t care” about the country, only about their “political ambitions.”
In an interview with The Associated Press published Wednesday, Leahy said when he first joined the Senate in 1975, senators found ways to get things done regardless of differing views.
Leahy, 82, the Senate Appropriations Committee chairman, has spent the last 48 years in the Senate and serves as the chamber’s president pro tempore and is third in line to the presidency.
“I think then, most of [the senators] knew there were basic things the Senate should do, basic things the country needed, and we should find a way to come together,” Leahy told the AP.
“Now, there are too many people who think, ‘What can I say that will get me on the evening news or give me a sound bite or get me on this Twitter account,’ or something else. They don’t care about the country. They care about their political ambitions

Probably just a coincidence that they are all commie RAT MAGA haters.
Not even close. The Repukes are just as bad
Lordy, what did Leaky ever do good for America? Hopefully, he’s a least a little bit like men who work into their eighties. They retire and soon die. By the way, there’s a party at my place when that happens. You’re all invited.
Maybe he looked in the mirror.
Pot, meet kettle.
Career politicians are the problem.
Only about lining their pockets.
Leaky Leahy, is nearing a terminal state and now he has the gall to admonish others of what he spent his entire corrupt life doing. Save it, hypocrite.
How many Democrats do? Joe Manchin? Former Democrats Tulsi Gabbard and Krysten Sinema?
I don’t trust Sinema. I will say Tulsi did give up her Congressional Seat, so I would trust her a lot more than Sinema.
Leaky - $30+ Trillion in debt plus liabilities. Absolutely correct, you don’t give a $#it about this country!
Probably half or a bit more of Republicans do care about this country and are patriots. But, Mitch McConnell and the GOP establishment has made it clear they will never be allowed to control the party.
IIRC that was Aaron Burr’s problem.
Yeah, especially the ones that leak secret information while being in charge of seeing that secret information is not leaked.
Democrats have no moral North Star and don’t even care that they they don’t.
He is/was part of the great, big, happy family there in DC.
It’s just one merry party, the UniParty...and the tax-paying, “unwashed masses” ain’t invited....and never will be. We’re nothing but cattle to these SOBs...to be “milked” every payday and then again on April 15th.
It’s one elitist bird with two wings that greedily feasts like a little piglet at the teat known as public tax trough. And Lord help anyone that might even think about getting between it and that slop trough.

Says the poster boy for political ambitions.
