Mitch McConnell: "States are not engaging in trying to suppress voters whatsoever."

FACT: White supremacist Republicans remove polling locations from Black districts, making Black people wait in huge lines while White voters waltz in and vote easily.

I think Mitch has gone soft in the head. These are such obvious whoppers it's a wonder he hasn't been subjected to a welfare check.

The voters in his state failed to hold him accountable last year and sent him back to the US Senate for another six years.

(Unfortunately the voters in my state did the same with John Cornyn)

Or is it more irresponsible not to speculate that he's lost his marbles? I mean, some people are saying that Sen. Mitch McConnell has lost his marbles. I've even seen it on the internet! That means it's "out there" and now the media have no choice but to cover this huge breaking story that Sen. McConnell has lost his marbles.

I’ve also noted the articles saying that McConnell is trying to lock in a Republican replacement, which doesn’t indicate a healthy man expecting another decade of vigor and mental acuity. Unfortunately I think McConnell still has enough of his stuff together to cause at least four more years of damage unless the metaphorical angel of death comes down from Heaven and drags him away from the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) claims the For The People Act, Democrats' landmark voting rights bill, is unnecessary:

"States are not engaging in trying to suppress voters whatsoever."
