He had more than one chance to do the right thing and prevent the horror show we face now. That’s how I’ll remember the cowardly career of Mitch McConnell.
Mitch McConnell was a political genius who will go down in the annals of history as a traitor to his country and one of the primary architects of the plan to destroy American democracy. Democrats should take a page from his playbook to devise a plan to destroy the coup that is presently underway.
He sure Did . He is absolutely the One responsible for the Frump Tyranny we live today. So now he vites no on confirmation ? Sorry to little to late. SMFH
He should have left twenty years ago
It is his fault we have The felon now
He should have voted for impeachment both times and highlighted the felons Jan 6 involvement
He can go home to his federal salary and health care
Again, I hope there is an actual hell because Moscow Mitch will be there. He can burn there right beside the orange felon, Elon and all the other Nazis.
He knows his moves only enabled Trump, something he says he regrets now. If he had any decency left he would spill the beans now and go full John Dean on Trump.
He soiled his reputation by using Machiavellian methods to stuff SCOTUS with Christian Nationalists to end Roe. The Robert’s Court has destroyed stare decisis
Mitch McConnell will be remembered as a coward. He never stood up to Trump and his agenda, and now look what's happening in the U.S and all the firing of Government employees. Mitch, you are a DOUCHE BAG!
The GOP should have shut down Trump the way the democrats shut down Bernie Sanders. Now the republicans will have to live with the fact that they destroyed our country.
Of course!!! He has done the job for MAGA for over 20 years. One of the architects of building a Nationalist and far-right agenda in the US through gerrymandering and cost-cutting policies for disfranchised minorities. Technically, it set the foundation for the uneducated class who voted for Trump.
Mitch McConnell has voted no on a few of President Trump‘s nominees. Now that he is not running for reelection he all of a sudden has a spine. If he had voted in favor of Trump‘s impeachment during the first term, he wouldn’t have to be voting no for nominees now

#FuckMitchMcConnell
As Christopher Browning named him forever, Mitch is tje gravedigger of American democracy.
And he has no power
He was SO DEEPLY UNPOPULAR.
Don’t let the door hit you on your way out…
lynchpin to the fall of democracy in the US.
I wonder if he’s pleased with his choices.
He's going down to be the worst senate leader EVER!
Painfully and in front of his family.
Now, come on, Kentucky, replace him with a Democrat!
