Republicans In Disarray: Graham And McConnell

 

 

The serve from Sen. Mitch "Old Crow/Hack/SOB/Loser" McConnell:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday expressed his support for GOP Sen. Mike Rounds (S.D.), who earlier this week was attacked by former President Trump after saying the 2020 presidential election was fair.

"I think Sen. Rounds told the truth about what happened in the 2020 election," McConnell told CNN. "And I agree with him."

The volley from Malignant Loser enforcer Sen. Lindsey "Aunt Pittypat" Graham, threatening not to vote for McConnell for Senate Republican leader:

But here’s the question: Can Sen. McConnell effectively work with the leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump?  I’m not going to vote for anybody that can’t have a working relationship with President Trump, to be a team, to come up with an America first agenda, to show the difference between us and liberal Democrats, prosecute the case for Trump policies.

Graham, who declared his relationship with the Malignant Loser over after the January 6 insurrection, quickly reverted to form as a spineless, power-seeking remora willing to debase himself in the service of said Malignant Loser.  McConnell, an equally unprincipled charlatan, has attempted to regain his Senate majority by finding candidates who'll campaign on traditional Republican fear- mongering rather than re-litigating the 2020 election, as the Malignant Loser and his frothing base would want (so far without much visible success).  

What most pundits and the broken media are largely missing in the run up to the 2022 mid-terms is that it's the neo- fascist Trump Republican Party that's engaged in debilitating state- by- state internal struggles (see Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, etc.), generally and uncharacteristically not Democrats.  Democrats need to highlight and take advantage of those cracks in the crackpot caucus.
