White nationalist got rolled. |
The Obstructionist Leader riles up Black America. This white nationalist literally is opposing voting rights and Build Back Better. He has 49 members in the Republican conference and two white nationalist Democrats assisting his goal to retake the Senate.
Mitch McConnell does not—and frankly, never has—viewed Black Americans as Americans. It’s no wonder he’s trying to strip their access to the ballot box. pic.twitter.com/7acSY5CUvQ

I asked @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell if systemic racism in American policing is why we see Black Americans disproportionately harmed.

"There's no question there is residual racism in America," he said.

@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell worries about Donald Trump alienating the LATINO vote but has no problem alienating the Black vote by opposing REPARATIONS for Black Americans @GOP @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #AnnCoulter @AnnCoulter @WhiteHouse #Reparations2020 #reparations @NumbersUSA pic.twitter.com/9hXY64MCLZ

Mitch McConnell didn't learn that you're supposed to make the blatant racism the quiet part:

Yes, generally the confederates are happy to vote for the MAGA GOP, especially when they're openly racist.#DemVoice1 pic.twitter.com/CdKJ311SvH
He made a remark about voting rights and it led to a #MitchPlease challenge.
On top of that, he is signalling that the Republicans are prepared to block or vote against the Supreme Court nominee. He said that President Joe Biden should not "outsource" a nominee that is "far left."
“Looking ahead — the American people elected a Senate that is evenly split at 50-50. To the degree that President Biden received a mandate, it was to govern from the middle, steward our institutions, and unite America,” the asshole said in a statement.
“The President must not outsource this important decision to the radical left. The American people deserve a nominee with demonstrated reverence for the written text of our laws and our Constitution.”
This scumbag denied Barack Obama his third pick. He is going to try to deny Joe Biden his pick. |
The Kentucky Republican was speaking after Republican senators once again blocked Democrats’ voting rights legislation on Capitol Hill on Wednesday evening.
The Guardian reported that the obstructionist couldn't figure out which ass to speak out of.
Speaking to reporters after the bill failed and the Senate rejected a change to the filibuster rule that could facilitate its passage, McConnell was asked for his message to voters in minority communities who are concerned that voting restrictions being enacted in many states will keep them from the ballot box without new federal laws.
“The concern is misplaced, because if you look at the statistics, African American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,” McConnell said.
In fact, studies indicate that voting restrictions, like those passed by 19 states in the past year, disproportionately impact voters of color.

Democratic Illinois congressman Bobby Rush swiftly called out McConnell’s comment, saying in a tweet: “African Americans ARE Americans. #MitchPlease.”
One of Rush’s Democratic colleagues, Diana DeGette of Colorado, echoed that assessment, describing McConnell’s comment as “disgusting”. “African-American voters ARE AMERICANS & to suggest otherwise is about as racist as it gets,” DeGette said in a tweet.
Former Kentucky state senator Charles Booker, who is campaigning for the U.S. senate against Republican Karen Paul, tweeted: “I am no less American than Mitch McConnell” and also said: “I need you to understand that this is who Mitch McConnell is. Being Black doesn’t make you less of an American, no matter what this craven man thinks.”
Booker is a sacrificial lamb. He ruined the Democrats chances at winning against McConnell by primary challenging Amy McGrath. Booker backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) weakened McGrath. His "defund the police" and Medicare for All rhetoric turned off Kentuckians. It stuck to McGrath who had a three point advantage against McConnell.
Pastor and activist Talbert Swan quipped that he “can’t qwhite put my finger on” what distinction McConnell might be drawing, tweeting: “I wonder what’s the difference he sees between ‘African-American voters’ and ‘Americans.’”
Swan is a leftist who had recently been warned on social media to tone down the rhetoric.
And Malcolm Kenyatta, a Democratic Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, argued that McConnell’s words were not a slip of the tongue but were instead an accurate reflection of the Republican Party’s mindset toward Black voters.
“Mitch McConnell’s comments suggesting African Americans aren’t fully American wasn’t a Freudian slip – it was a dog whistle. The same one he has blown for years,” Kenyatta said.
