With the Republican National Convention underway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as of Monday, the party has officially chosen former President Donald Trump as their nominee for November’s presidential election.
While Trump’s address to the convention after tragedy struck on Saturday when an assassin’s bullet nearly took his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, will undoubtedly be one of patriotism and unity, there are still career Republicans in Congress present at the convention who are incredibly unpopular.
As each state was officially announcing its delegates for Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky took to the microphone to cast 46 votes for Trump.
Even before McConnell spoke, the crowd at the RNC could be heard unmistakably booing him.
The roar of the boos came through easily as McConnell — very aware of how the crowd felt about him — stumbled through his statement.
...
If McConnell is surprised by his negative reception, he shouldn’t be.
McConnell has put America last as his support for dumping billions into Ukraine‘s war effort against Russia with Congress’ aid package in April shows.
In February 2021, McConnell took to the Senate floor to chastise Trump as “morally responsible” for the events on Jan. 6, 2021.
...
In terms of his career, McConnell is the embodiment of everything wrong with Congress concerning age and ability to serve.
...
McConnell’s abilities were brought into question after he froze at a panel during a press conference in July 2023.
The 82-year-old isn’t popular at the RNC because this convention isn’t buying his nonsense.

McConnell needs to go. He is a deep state flunkie.
Moscow Mitch is just another poster child for term limits.

Mitch is getting older. I’m actually a bit surprised that he didn’t get mixed up and cast 46 votes for China. 🇨🇳
I don’t like the guy but I watched and it was not brutal. There were noticeable boos but...brutal, far from it.
Mitch deserves everything he gets and less.
What would have been better is if everyone had gone completely silent and turned around to completely shun him.
He is still not well and needs to resign.
None of the media appreciate pageantry. When I was young I loved the ceremony of the roll call. No one shows it any more
He wasn’t making a speech.
The ONLY WAY these bastards resign is in a casket, we as voters NEED TO inflict term limits on them after 2 terms we as voters need to make a conscious decision to vote them out!! These bastards WILL NEVER vote for term limits!!
Yeah, I'd say he's getting a little long-in-the-beak.
McConnell sucks but I will say Merrick Garland is not on the Supreme Court because of him so there is that
He stopped Obama/Garland cold.
McConnell is Uniparty
Uniparty despises Trump
Just tried to murder him
I disagree.
Republicans need to impose term limits on Republican office holders.
Then, every election, we can hector and belittle the Democrats for their commitment to life time political employment.
Too bad some Deep State insider elites weren’t there to cheer him and use party blow-outs. Or that he hadn’t already retired and left the scene by now.
He can go home to his man cave room and count out wads of high value bills to console himself.
Hes a criminal jim
