26. "McConnell" has to become synonymous with "hypocrite."

The news media should present his actions exactly as they are - hypocritical. They should present his motivations exactly as they are, too - to maintain power rather than govern and serve his constituents.

I'm serious about this. Every time McConnell tries some shit, the news media have to match it with his actions when Trump was president.

He has to be made a laughingstock even beyond what he is now. He has to become a liability to the Republican Party bad enough to call for replacement as majority leader.
