McConnell Gets Shelled After Recognizing Biden as President-Elect: Took So Long That Putin beat him

Even after every major media outlet called it, even after every state certified it, even after a bushel of failed court challenges, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Until Tuesday.

In remarks delivered on the Senate floor, McConnell — using the electoral college tally as justification — acknowledged reality at last.

“The Electoral College has spoken,” McConnell said. “I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden. The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He’s devoted himself to public service for many years. I also want to congratulate the vice president-elect: our colleague from California, Senator [Kamala] Harris. Beyond our differences, all Americans can take pride that our nation has a female vice president-elect for the very first time.”

Moscow Mitch had to wait for the okay from his boss.
