McConnell thinks it's 'fun' to insult families instead of helping them

By Oliver Willis -

Mitch McConnell is reveling in his own cruelty.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell apparently thinks it's "fun" to arbitrarily block popular bills and to mock people who suffer from addiction.

"We need to have a little fun in this business," McConnell said in a Monday interview with Politico. "I used to call myself Darth Vader," he added, comparing himself to the iconic Star Wars villain.

McConnell was explaining why he has come to embrace unsavory nicknames for himself that celebrate his worst tendencies to obstruct and to hurt people. One of those nicknames, the "Grim Reaper," is a reference to his plan to make the Senate a "graveyard" for just about every bill passed by the Democratic-led House.

McConnell has relentlessly obstructed bills passed by the House that reflect the priorities of the majorities of voters who backed Democrats over Republicans in the 2018 midterms — such as reforming elections, improving gun safety, and expanding access to health care. At the same time, he has tirelessly jammed unqualified and extremist right-wing judges through the Senate confirmation process.

the Kentucky voters. He is a sadist and needs to be viewed in American History as evil as Joe McCarthy was.
