Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cited former President Reagan in a pitch for a national security bill in a Wednesday opinion piece.
“Today, much like in the Washington President Reagan faced, it has become popular in some circles to bet against American resolve and bemoan the global responsibilities that come with global power,” McConnell said in the op-ed in the Northern Kentucky Tribune. “Loud voices peddle the short-sighted and ahistorical notion that America’s interests do not extend beyond the water’s edge, and that abandoning our friends is the price of restoring order at home.”
McConnell then said he and his colleagues had “considered” the same responsibilities, and “in measuring the costs of America neglecting its leading role, the Senate chose to address the growing threats facing our nation and our closest allies around the globe.”

Oh, so it isnt' a national security bill? Well shame on me.
Pass HR2...you co-sponsored it in the Senate.
Did anyone ask him about his Chicom sister in laws mysterious death on Chinese New Year?
When it was McConnell’s turn to serve during the VN War, he didn’t show any “resolve”. Instead he was two months in the Army Reserve (tough to get into as it was a free pass from the war) and then he “resolved” to get out for some bizarre reason. The only time we ever hear this boob speak up is about Ukraine - not a damn word about the show trials of Trump, the border mess, the obvious senility of Biden, or what the communists are doing to this country.
And if that doesn't work, there's always George Washington and Jesus.
McConnell’s handlers told him to get it done or he’s next.
None of these Rinos including the Bushes ever mention Reagan
GTH, Turtle.

Yep. When Zelensky says GIBS-ME-MO’-BILLIONS, Mitch tell our country GIBS-‘EM-MO’-TENS-OF-BILLIONS!
McTurtle backed Ford in 76 and Bush in 80.
He HATED Reagan.
F off Mitch.
Reagan actually had strong leaders as allies, such as Mulroney, Thatcher, Kohl, and Pope JPII.
Today’s U.S., Canadian, and western European equivalents are midgets in comparison.
Good post.
McConnell will resolve to obstruct Trump at every turn if he wins.
And was kicked out after two months. The story rattling around out there is that it was for eye problems. reportedly someone in his chain said “yeah, he couldn’t tell men from women”. It was either that or some Congressman pulling strings for him.
Either way, he was a low life.
Hey Mitch, your credibility is gone forever. Take your lies and go away.
Yes, and Satan quoted scripture to Jesus. Not that much difference at all.
Unlike Turtle Mitch, whenever Reagan mentioned “national security”, he was talking about AMERICA’s security.
McConnell opposed Reagan in the 1976 and 1980 primaries just like he opposes Trump and real border security.
