An embattled Republican, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), joined an embattled Democrat, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos, in a rare showing of bipartisan support for the Hillary Clinton-backed Obamatrade deal on Sunday morning.
With Stephanopoulos on the ropes over his $75,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation — a fact he didn’t bother to disclose before interviewing Breitbart News senior editor Peter Schweizer about his book Clinton Cash — there are serious questions being raised about McConnell’s decision to attempt to help the former Bill Clinton staffer.
“McConnell is now taking his ‘non-partisan’ governing agenda to the media,” Daniel Horowitz of the Conservative Review, a leading critic of the GOP establishment, tells Breitbart News. “He has this leadership thing exactly backward. Instead of embracing conservatives, McConnell embraces the repudiated policies, politicians, and media figures of the Left.”
McConnell’s office hasn’t responded to a Breitbart News request for comment on why he’d throw Stephanopoulos a lifeline—appearing on his show lends him credibility. Stephanopoulos has had to recuse himself from Republican debates in 2016, and won’t be allowed to moderate them—despite previous plans to do so—but is still moving forward with plans to be involved in ABC News’ 2016 and political coverage despite his conflict of interest that he kept from the public until he was later caught. Many, including the Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell, are calling for Stephanopoulos to recuse himself from all 2016 political coverage–noting that ABC is facing a credibility crisis with him at the helm.

Hillary has supported this nightmare TPP and the Fast Track Authority from the git go. Barry is working his tail off, (Following directions from his globalist masters of course), to get it thru.......and the folks on our own side are going WITH Barry and Hillary’s wishes on this horror show. Now why in the heck would anyone of our guys support and push, (and push hard), ANYTHING that Hillary and Barry want for America?
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and a bunch of corrupt senators along with it.
Bribery or coercion.
Someone name one thing where both Republican majority houses of congress have NOT caved to the Hitler wannabe in the White House.
Mitch hasn’t really been a Republican for a long time and I doubt anyone’s surprised to see an alliance between Mitch and Steph, the Clinton’s personal media minion.
Good picture. If someone here subscribes to Sean Hannity’s podcasts or can otherwise access the Hannity archives, try to find the interview Hannity conducted with Mitch McConnell during the Kentucky primary season 2014. McConnell lied through his teeth on all the key issues including Obamacare. If Hannity would reply that interview it would graphically demonstrate how much of a liar and a scoundrel this man is.

This is the first I’ve heard of HRC backing 0bamatrade. If so, isn’t that why all that dirty money has been dumping into their damn dirty-ass slush fund? WTF!?
We’d have been better off if that Grimes woman had won.
Yeah and he doesn't even care that we know what a big liar he is. And Boehner too!

Good question, he’d shown his RHINOness for years. But then insult was added to injury when the rest of the idiot RHINO senators (including Enzi who is mine in Wy) put him back as the leader. Repubs don’t deserve a single conservative vote.
MConnell is only “embattled” in the sense that the author of the article doesn’t like him. He’s safe as Majority Leader in the Senate, and he won reelection around 6 months ago.
It gives Obama much more power. Why would anyone want to give this communist more power ?
Obama and the rest of the marxists know that they can destroy America with this. Soros wrote a book on how to supercede U.S. laws with this "fast tracK" trade . All the senators who voted for this obamatrade are traitors
