McConnell lashes out at media, Democrats over "Moscow Mitch" label

[Leith]

46. What a whiner

Law enforcement and intelligence agencies all say that there has been and will be again foreign interference in our elections, but #MoscowMitch refuses to take a serious look at what House Democrats have successfully voted on (with no House rethug support) and passed along to the Senate. Then he whines that Democrats are lying loudly.

Well, MoscowMitch, perhaps you should show us what you and your party are working on. Wassat you say? Nuttin' so far? That's been your plan all along:

The Senate will not vote on any legislation to protect US elections from foreign interference, a Republican committee chair said, despite the consensus of the intelligence community that Russia will once again seek to hack election systems and manipulate American voters in 2020.

The reason, said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Wednesday, is that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has decided not to bring any election security bills to the floor for a vote. Blunt’s remark occurred during a hearing of the Rules and Administration Committee, which has oversight of election administration. When Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) asked Blunt, the chairman, whether he was planning mark-ups of any of the several election security bills pending before the committee, Blunt responded that it would be fruitless to advance legislation that McConnell would not allow to come up for a vote.

Blunt also acknowledged that it was McConnell who stopped the Rules Committee last year from advancing the Secure Elections Act, a bipartisan bill to protect elections from interference. The committee was poised to mark up that bill last August when the hearing was mysteriously canceled the same morning that it was set to begin.

Hey, Putin's Mitch, get off your dead ass and do something worthwhile!

And quit your damn whining.
