Let’s not forget that Mitch refused to go into recess for four years to prevent his own president from making recess appointments

Not true as McConnell had no power to unilaterally put the Senate in recess. The minority can keep it in pro-forma session. That is how he blocked Obama from making recess appointments while he was the Minority Leader. There was a big Supreme Court case related to that if you recall.

Let’s not forget Mitch held the threat of impeachment over Trump during the bullcrap mueller infestation.

McConnell is not a member of the House.

Mitch stopped the wall.

No he did not.

Mitch stopped repeat of Obamacare.

That was McCain - dramatic moment if you recall. McConnell was humiliated by McCain that night. However, he did get the repeal of the individual mandate through which allowed for non-Obamacare policies to return to the market without fear being fined for buying them. That's no small thing.

Mitch resisted using the national guard to go after antifa and BLM.

How do you figure that? A Senator has no power or role over the National Guard...not even the President in normal circumstances directly commands them - those are governors.

Much protected Wray and Rosenstein.

How did he "protect" them as a Senator?

Don't just go with narratives - research facts and the civic roles of Senators. He wasn't even involved in some of that and couldn't have been even if wanted to.

Wrong on everything. He CAN put the Senate in Recess. It was HE who refused.
Yeah, the House impeaches, but HE prattled on and on about how the Senate would be likely to remove him. Also Ryan was running the House then and he made no effort to restrain him.
Mitch refused to fully fund the wall.
Mitch refused to end Obamacare.
And MITCH spouted off that Trump should NOT use the national guard for BLM riots.

During the impeachment, he could have called an up or down vote and ended it. He let it lag for 3 months.
During the second FAKE impeachment he could have flicked that away like a booger. Even Roberts was a no show for that.

Mitch is beholden to Red China.
