I can’t imagine she’d want Mitch. McCarthy is such an inconsequential twit I doubt she ever wasted a second thinking about him.

(and not entirely without cause) that someone might kick him in what's left of his man parts if he showed up. McCarthy only had to worry about getting spit on.

That said, neither was worthy to share space with her when she was alive, and that doesn't change with her passing. Glad they didn't go and stink up the room.

especially the turtle.

He is showing great disrespect by not attending her memorial. If he does attend, the people will hiss, boo and chant at him. He knows how they reacted to 45. He does not want the same treatment.

First, her family and those who love her don't want those hypocritical shitstains anywhere near her as she lies in repose.
Second, and if any other life form occupied the Oval Office, and the Republican party wasn't now just a cult, I would never say this ... perhaps it will hurt them politically.
Because these people need to be out of office ... every fucking one of them!
