Mitch McConnell calls Biden's speech 'incoherent' and 'beneath his office'

"How profoundly — profoundly — unpresidential," McConnell said Wednesday on Capitol Hill. "I've known, liked and personally respected Joe Biden for many years. I did not recognize the man at the podium yesterday."

....

McConnell said that Biden's speech is further proof of why the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, should stand.

"You could not invent a better advertisement for the legislative filibuster than what we've just seen, a President abandoning rational persuasion for pure, pure, demagoguery," McConnell said. "A president shouting that 52 senators and millions of Americans are racist unless he gets whatever he wants is proving exactly why the framers built the Senate to check his power."

"This whole display is the best possible argument for preserving ... the Senate rules that extend deliberation, force bipartisan compromise, and let cooler heads prevail," he said. "It offers a perfect case study in why Senator Biden was right about the filibuster and President Biden is wrong."

What McConnell objected to Biden saying:

“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.”





















































OH WAIT



That wasn't Joe Biden, that was Mitch McConnell on 1/7/21:

So beneath his office as Senator to say such incoherent things.

McConnell (Uniparty-DC) is not fooling me any longer. He is a RINO, a Decepticon, and is not any better than a Democrat. He doesn't give a shit about Main Street; he represents his multinational corporate buddies instead.

See my thread on the changed definition of "RINO."

It no longer has anything to do w/ actual conservative principles.

It has to do with conservative principles.

Nope. It's entirely about Trump, and acceptance of his election lies.

[Frank Apisa]

If the Republicans retake the Senate, the moment any initiative they favor is filibustered, they will change the rules in an instant. McConnell and the Republican Party are shit stains on the body politic.

In any case, this thing has gone too far. There is almost no chance that the damage Trump, as leader of the Republicans, will ever be repaired. Their base was scum before he came along...he allowed that scum to come to the surface, and it can never cleaned up.

The experiment of The United States has failed in our lifetime. Our generation will be known in history as the generation that ended it.

I only hope that Trump ends up in prison before that all solidifies...and that he ends up in Hell after it does.

Nope, it has nothing to do with Trump nor the truth that he is telling about the Demonkkkrat coup of 2020.

Nah, you don't even believe this horseshit, and you know how I know that?

Because you didn't go to DC on 1/6 despite running your big, fat mouth for months about it.

Fuckin' poseur.

Meanwhile, the guy who holds McConnell's nuggets calls him a "loser."

This Mitch McConnell?

"Senate GOP goes ‘nuclear’ on Supreme Court filibuster"
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/...-option-236937

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell moved to change the Senate rules after Democrats blocked Gorsuch's nomination minutes before, 55-45. All 52 Republicans then supported the vote to go nuclear, and Gorsuch subsequently advanced to a final confirmation vote with a simple majority."

That’s just rich after five years of propping up the most Unpresidential person to ever hold office.

He makes a very valid argument, and there are strong arguments about why we need the voting rights bill passed.

I agree on both sides, how long do we wait to make voting secure, easy and inclusive in the States that would limit voting? There are some issues that are important enough to do away with the filibusterer. I remember many Republicans being for changing the rules when "W" was president.

If he believes he gains moral authority by finally saying this about Trump, now that he is weak, he is WRONG.
