7. I read about his polio before this fall

In 1944, at the age of two, McConnell's upper left leg was paralyzed by a polio attack. He received treatment at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. The treatment potentially saved him from being disabled for the rest of his life.
Born: February 20, 1942, Sheffield, Alabama.

He was not disabled - he recovered.

This same man now deprives others of health care and has not condemned the Con for mocking a disabled man, celebrating a white supremacist killer or indeed being responsible for over 200,000 Covid deaths.
MoscowMitch has his fellow ReTHUGs lying about their plan to get rid of Social Security, Medicare and the ACA. He doesn't give a flying fuck about their medical problems.

I won't celebrate his falling or anyone else falling because I have fallen on our running track at least three times in 38 years. That said his fall is a metaphor and I hope it represents the fall of this entire kakistrocracy.
