Claire McCaskill tweet says McConnell stopped bipartisan goodbye dinner

Last edited Thu Dec 6, 2018, 03:16 AM - Edit history (1)

So sad that our dinner to say good bye to Senators that are leaving is not bipartisan. If we can’t be together to even recognize those who are leaving, what hope is there for this place? Why didn’t it happen? 2 words. Mitch McConnell

Ignore McConnell as much as you possibly can. The way he has ignored the US Constitution, the Holy Bible, and the basic ethics of the best of human philosophy.

When Newt became SOTH, he told all republicans members NOT to move their families to the area (MD,VA,DE). Up to this time, there had always been parties, softball games, picnics, holiday celebrations with both parties and their families. Everyone knew everyone else, knew their families, their children and because they all had so much in common, there were strong bonds between members. There was a genuine camaraderie. Gingrich put an immediate halt to all of the cross party socialization when he became speaker. Things have gone down hill ever since.

McTurtle will go down as one of the most evil characters to ever poison the Senate chamber. The damage to both the country and the Senate itself wrought by him is near incalculable.
