Mitch McConnell Laughs at the Unemployed as He Promises to Vote No on UI Benefits

[CatWoman]

In a recent radio interview, Sen. Mitch McConnell laughed at the unemployed who recently lost their benefits as he promised to vote no on any UI extension. Listen to how heartless the Senate Republican leader really can be.

Transcript:

Lars Larson: I hope you vote no on extending unemployment benefits…

McConnell: ha ha ha ha

Larsen: …at least for the long term unemployed, I appreciate it.

McConnell [still slightly laughing]: ya.

McConnell: Thanks Lars.

At the 8:21 mark of the audio, McConnell finds it funny that he is going to vote no on extending unemployment benefits. McConnell has so little compassion for the 1.3 million long term unemployed workers and their families that to him voting no and throwing them into poverty is a tickle the funny bone moment.

1. Heartless scummy bastard.

Unfortunately, he is well insulated from ever feeling the kind of pain those folks feel daily.

I really want to see him lose his Senate seat.

So FOX thinks it is just horrible that people now need to pay more for their health insurance but doesn't care that the same number if not more Americans are now shut out in the cold.
