Republicans Are So Corrupt That They're Celebrating Mitch McConnell Obstructing Anti-Corruption Bill

Republicans Are So Corrupt That They’re Celebrating Mitch McConnell Obstructing Anti-Corruption Bill


Republican corruption has reached the point where they are actively celebrating the fact that Mitch McConnell will obstruct an anti-corruption bill.

Check out this video released by the NRCC:


To Republicans, being anti-corruption is not the same as socialism, even though corruption is the common enemy of both capitalism and democracy, which are two systems that Republicans used to believe in.

The Republican Party has become so corrupt that they are celebrating the obstruction of the anti-corruption bill. H.R. 1 also gets rid of dark money, which is the lifeblood of the Republican Party and protects voting rights at a time when Republicans can only win elections in some parts of the country by making it more difficult to vote.

Ronald Reagan’s Republican Party believed in democracy and were dedicated fighters against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Donald Trump’s Republican Party is potentially infiltrated by Russia, and actively undermines democracy at home and abroad.

The Republican Party has been remade in the image of Donald Trump, where anyone enforces the law is bad, and corruption is good.

I feel like I just want to give up and pull the covers over my head and not come out until this is all over.

I just can't take much more of this.

AKA the Washington Times. Has put out a story that the bill is to allow undocumented aliens the right to vote. Little Donnie has tweeted it and now all the usual right wingers are spreading it to the base. 2020 is going to be fun.
