Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA
So he’s against election security?

Who’s he working for?

The Russians?

In 2020 Kentucky will have to #DitchMitch

1. I think the answer is YES!

[empedocles]

2. putin would have fun manipulating trump v mcconnell, if it served his strategies.

[No issue stimulus for this come to my mind though].

[LiberalLovinLug]

22. I wouldn't doubt he has his own hot line to Putin.

I can see them chuckling about the orange dotard behind his back, and Mitch assuring Putin he has nothing to worry about, he'll protect him. So they can each get what they want out of Trump being in office.

3. If you look up the word "corruption" in a dictionary, McConnell's face illustrates the definition

[GoCubsGo]

4. Yeah, but he's likely far more beholden to Communist China.

He's taken close to $4 million from the Russians (that we know of.) But, I have no doubt he's taken much, much more from the Chinese. McLipless only cares about enriching McLipless and Mrs. McLipless, and he won't think twice about selling out his country to do so.

5. I would think

Yes, is the answer and it is likely more than just him and the “Esteemed” Mr. Trump. k

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. This stinks of Russian involvement....

McConnell is compromised.

Rachel Maddow has a feature Story on this a few weeks ago about the Russian Oligarch, Oleg Deripaska. Follow the money.

7. McConnell Is a Shameless, Distasteful Person

. . . to put it mildly. His popularity in Kentucky baffles me. He does nothing for his constituents and in fact works actively against their interests (see the ACA, for example). Secretary Chao's behavior and questionable connections make me ill.

I hope every Democrat starts (or keeps) beating the drum about McConnell sabotaging the whole country to make life safe for millionaires and billionaires like the secretary's father.

Nice to see this article:

8. Say it loud, Mr. Painter!

McConnell is a danger to our democracy. Time for his own party to make some noise!

[Raster]

9. Yes he is.

#ComradeMcConnell

10. I thought this was already settled truth.

Sheesh

[2naSalit]

11. Both russia and china...

and anyone who will filter funds into his stay in power and wealth.

[Maine-i-acs]

12. check his campaign coffers

dirty russian oligarch money
drty NRA money funneled by russian oligarchs
this one is a no brainer

[ffr]

13. Power. Greed. Treason.

Grand Old Farty values.

[Botany]

14. McConnell knew all about the Russian "fix" in the election and used that knowledge to block ...

.... Merck Garland from even getting a vote to be a Justice on the SCOTUS, he has taken in millions in
Russian money, and he knows that the dirty voting machines keep him and the GOP in power.

The 2015 KY Governor's race was way dirty and Mitch knows that too.

[Skittles]

23. Mitch knew Hillary would not be president

that's why he trashed Garland for the Supreme Court

[dlk]

15. The Answer is Obvious

It’s a given the election tampering will be ramped up in 2020. It may be too late to vote McConnell out.

[CaptYossarian]

16. The Russians may be controlling the elections,

but they can't control 63 million Hillary voters armed with tar and feathers.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. I think we arrest him, for the obvious reasons. Otherwise he'll stay.

His pals will engineer something as they did for Ashcroft. You remember what happened during Ashcroft's last election run, right?

[world wide wally]

18. McConnell is the worst President we ever had.... since Trump.

[Perseus]

19. No, he is not! He is working for the Russians and the Chinese

And everyone else he can get money from.

[mountain grammy]

20. He's working for Mitch and Elaine.. he who dies with the most $$$ wins..

or some sick bullshit like that.
