Article:McConnell downplays Trump's foreign election help comments

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/13/mcconnell-dismisses-trumps-foreign-election-help-comments-1364601

Snip of article:

Speaking with Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Thursday night, the Senate majority leader spoke with exasperation over the backlash the president has received for saying he would hear out foreign assistance if offered in the 2020 election. McConnell portrayed the comments as a nonstory, saying Congress had legislative agendas to focus on.

"They just can't let it go, Laura," McConnell said. "I said weeks ago, case closed. We got the Mueller report, the only objective evaluation that will be conducted."

McConnell said Democrats love to keep bringing up the 2016 presidential election, keeping them from passing any legislation. He also accused Democrats of trying to "harass" the president, borrowing from Trump's own lexicon.

"He gets picked at every day over every different aspect of it," McConnell said of Trump. "But the fundamental point is that they are trying to keep the 2016 election alive and the investigation alive when the American people have heard enough. "



Since when has this POS McConnell has even thought of the American people saying we have heard enough about the election. Damn this crypt keeper he doesn't give a crap about the first responders. Did he even give a crap about when women were up in arms about Kavanaugh???

He needs to be voted out. He has been abusing his power for a long time.

That has to be affecting his judgement or LACK of it.

He continues to kiss Trump's ass at every opportunity.
