Comments Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made on Tuesday show why he has become the single biggest obstacle to GOP success.
The Kentucky Republican claimed giving more money to Ukraine is “the No. 1 priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans.” The new $1.7 trillion Democrat spending bill he enthusiastically supports would give Ukraine another roughly $45 billion in assistance, bringing the total over the past eight months to more than $100 billion, a staggering figure even if it weren’t happening during a time of inflation, looming recession, and other serious domestic problems.
The comment about Republican priorities is so false as to be completely delusional. Among the many concerns Republican voters have with Washington, D.C., a failure to give even more money to Ukraine simply does not rank.
A large coalition of conservative groups, including the Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Partnership Institute, publicly opposed ramming through more Ukraine support during the lame-duck session before Republicans take over control of the House on Jan. 3, 2023. Strong pluralities and majorities of Republicans have told pollsters they want decreases, not increases, in foreign spending and global military involvement.

I agree 1000%. McConnell is a 20 ton anchor around the neck of the GOP in deep water right now.
His swampiness needs to go away forever and take the other swamp dwellers with him. All corrupt. All anti-American.
McConnell got hit by the brain snatchers!
He is out of his mind.
Mitch is one of many. The whole damn party needs to be cleaned out.
Mitch is just the biggest deck chair on the Titanic among many.
Yep, once McConnell is gone it will be all better. There is no way there are more deep state types in the GOP willing to step into McConnell’s destructive role. /s
Gone, as in “pushing daisies” would be best.
Roger that. The only reason McConnell is backstabbing us now is because he wants to retire and go where the "levers of power" are actually controlled, J Street.
Exactly. Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.
And Romney and Murkowski and Graham…
Correct. Replacing Mitch won’t fix the fundamental problems with the party. The GOP has no principles, convictions or values. Its a soulless party that doesn’t stand for anything.
You’re right. The whole party needs to be cleaned out.
Mitch needs to be bitch slapped.

Then new Senators need to hold an insurrection. Demand that Mitch leave.
Mark Levin was bashing him years ago. I give him credit for that.
Replace all the Mc’s; McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel.
The GOP is toxic. It will NEVER ALLOW MAGA A SEAT AT THE TABLE. I can not believe how stupid the base is to believe it will change.
Hey, maybe Mitch is “the big guy”! Enjoy your 10%.
She is absolutely correct, but the problem isn’t just Mitch, it’s most of the GOP senators.
