What Mitch is NOT doing.

So we have massive protests in response to racist police violence. We have an unchecked plague killing our family and friends by the thousands. We have vitriolic division in our public discourse the likes of which has never been seen in this country.

And what is Mitch McConnell doing?

Confirming judges. Packing our courts with misogyny, racism and bigotry that he hopes will last beyond the lives of his own grandchildren. And he knows, as do we all, that his methods are deceptive, spiteful and disingenuous.

So he's proud. He's pleased that he has successfully cheated and stolen his way toward keeping duplicitous, greedy, hateful, old, white men in "power".

But do you know what he is NOT doing? Governing.

Mitch's job isn't governing; it's legislating. But he definitely isn't doing that. The Velveteen Ocelot Jun 2020 #1
