Not even close, teabaggers loved it when Moscow McTurtle carried Dotard's water, now he is a RHINO.
Teabaggers should be proud of this.
In April 2018, the U.S. Treasury Department cracked down on Oleg Deripaska, imposing heavy sanctions on him. Trump moved to undermine these sanctions almost immediately.
So Oleg Deripaska, one of Putin’s best buddies, deeply linked into the Russian Mob, and involved in Ukrainian politics, was well-known in prominent Republican circles. Mitch McConnell certainly knew who he was.
One day before McConnell led the vote to drop sanctions against Rusal, a McConnell ally, Craig Bouchard, had dinner with Kremlin-linked oligarch and Rusal owner, Oleg Deripaska.
Talks about the Rusal-backed Kentucky project were in the works “long before” Rusal was sanctioned in early 2018.
Merely three months after the sanctions were lifted (April 2019), Rusal announced it would be investing $200 million into a Kentucky aluminum mill run by Braidy Industries, becoming a 40% stakeholder in the project.

Has Mitch finally found a spine and some principles?
Nah. He, like any Republican, says whatever is most expedient in the moment. He's a typical Republican worm.
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
