Mitch McConnell is slime. Kevin McCarthy is a seditionist. There is actually a difference

[Tom Rinaldo]

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy refused to recognize Joe Biden as President Elect after the Electoral College voted. Kevin McCarthy never openly condemned Trump's Big Lie about the election being stolen from him. Kevin McCarthy, along with the majority of the Republican House Caucus, voted against certifying Joe Biden's electoral victory and attempted to disenfranchise the voters of six states after the insurrection failed and the joint session of Congress reconvened.

Mitch McConnell, the ultimate cynical hard core political animal, has the chops to position himself barely to the left of the sedition line. Kevin McCarthy dove across it deep into the realm of treason. Seven Republican senators and ten Republican House members stood with our democracy. More than seven Republican senators became charter members of the sedition caucus. Mitch McConnell tried to stake out a position for some Republican senators in between. I doubt that "center" will hold.

1. Moscow Mitch, Trump's waterboy.

2. Not entirely.

McCarthy is much more of a toady. He's not strategic; he's just willing to be belligerent.

McConnell understands the value of Senate power and always maneuvers to keep that intact. Both sides of this argument? Works fine for him.

3. This is true also. n/t
