McConnell, Stephanopoulos Reach Across The Aisle To Help Push Hillary Clinton’s Obamatrade
breitbart.com ^ | 5/17/15 | Matthew Boyle

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.

Someone tell me again why it was so important to vote for the RINOs?
Someone please tell me how they are different from the Democrats?

..." They’re the both members of the same uniparty"....

It's called 'the Globalist Party' and it's Worldwide.

The Opposition Party (McConnell)
and
The Neutral Party (US Media)

Are falling all over themselves in their desperate attempt to push the America-destroying policies of the Muslim usurper.

The country is gone. It’s all Kabuki.

The left must have some major dirt on McConnell. He is a real lap dog for them.

Their not different because.... in today’s interdependent world the furtherance of a country’s self-interest 'will depend' on the degree to which it furthers the Global interest first and foremost.

Unfortunately Globalization cannot be pushed back. Nor the nation leaders currently layering their nests to sit at that table. It's long now out the gate and running at record pace as we see the pieces coming together despite opposition.

The Treason of Benedict Arnold Mitch McConnell
The Kentucky Chicken Career Politician

You'd do better with Aaron Burr, who was charged in Kentucky with treason for some scheme to create his own new country out of US territory.
