McConnell accuses Biden of breaking promise to unify

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday pronounced President Biden's first hundred days a massive disappointment and accused the president of breaking his campaign promise to bring the nation together in the wake of a tumultuous 2020.

McConnell ticked through what has become a familiar list of Republican grievances with Biden: his decision to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline; passage of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan without any Republican votes; introduction of H.R. 1, a Democratic proposal to overhaul the nation's election laws; the decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan; and his handling of the migrant surge at the Southern border.

"President Biden pledged he would be 'A president for all Americans' with plans to repair, restore and heal," McConnell said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning, noting that Congress remains closely divided with a 50-50 Senate and a slim Democratic majority in the House.

"But the first hundred days have left much to be desired," McConnell said. "Over a few short months, the Biden administration seems to have given up on selling actual unity in favor of catnip for their liberal base, covered with a hefty coat of false advertising."

to the extent that such a statement from him will not garner any media attention.

That day will come.

keep doing what you're doing Joe. They are welcome to join the process on the remote chance that decide to remove heads from asses.
