Mitch McConnell’s Two-Faced Back Room Declarations Should End His Career

Apr 28, 2022

If – and this is a huge if, by the by – the Republican Party is smart enough to realize the absolute need to reinstitute its founding principles and purge its ranks of the self-serving and opportunistic status quo then they would use the two faces of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) as a catalyst to start at the top.

McConnell, 80, who has held his US Senate seat from Kentucky since 1984, is the husband of former Secretary of Transportation and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao. This is important because Chao’s family is intimately connected to the Communist Chinese Party through their ownership of one of China’s largest shipping companies. This pretty much makes Mitch and family just as shady as the Bidens, albeit much less flamboyant.

But even more egregious – and that’s saying a lot in the face of the threat Communist China poses to both the United States and the World, is his “anything to survive and maintain power” duplicity; his putrid opportunistic politicism. This two-faced, poll-result-feeding charlatan needs to be culled from the halls of government because he simply cannot be trusted.

A perfect example in support of this stance comes in his approach to his arch-nemesis Donald Trump and the January 6th protest at the US Capitol Building.

To be clear. What happened at the US Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021, was not an insurrection, no matter how desperately the unaccomplished partisan Leftists want to pretend it was. To that end, there is a legitimate question as to whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s clown car January 6th Committee is even constitutional.

Following the January 6th incident, McConnell, sniffing the political winds like a panicked marmoset, enjoined with far-Left Democrats in his desire to permanently marginalize Donald Trump in the political arena. After it become apparent that Democrats were positioning to use a false narrative about the January 6th event as a political blackjack against Republicans in 2022 and 2024, McConnell told confidants he agreed with the Democrats that Trump should be impeached.

“The Democrats are going to take care of the son-of-a-bitch for us,” McConnell reportedly told two close advisors in a closed-door meeting. “If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is.”

McConnell, who after examining the snap-polling of the public’s response to the January 6th event jumped on the false-narrative “violent insurrection” bandwagon.

As reported by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin of The New York Times:

“Mr. McConnell knew the Senate math as well as anyone and he told his advisers he expected a robust bipartisan vote for conviction. After that, Congress could then bar Mr. Trump from ever holding public office again.
“The president’s behavior on Jan. 6 had been utterly beyond the pale, Mr. McConnell said. ‘If this isn’t impeachable, I don’t know what is,’ he said.
“In private, at least, Mr. McConnell sounded as if he might be among the Republicans who would vote to convict. Several senior Republicans, including John Thune of South Dakota and Rob Portman of Ohio, told confidants that Mr. McConnell was leaning that way.”

But as the debate commenced in the Senate, the House having hammered through Articles of Impeachment, US Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) called into question the constitutionality of attempting to impeach a former president since the action would be targeting a private citizen. In the end, forty-five senators – including McConnell – voted in favor of Paul’s motion.

After Trump’s rightful acquittal, McConnell admitted to voting in favor of defending Trump because, as Wendell Husebo of Breitbart (one of my former publishers) writes:

“...he needed to keep his job as GOP Senate leader. ‘I didn’t get to be leader by voting with five people in the conference,’ McConnell said.
“Trump’s acquittal – and continued popularity among [core] Republicans – has forced McConnell to lie low and only infrequently comment about the Democrats’ impeachment trial. But when asked on Fox News in February of 2021 if he would support Trump if he were the 2024 Republican nominee, McConnell said he would.
“‘Absolutely,’ McConnell answered.”

So, which one is it? Does McConnell really want to be done with the “son-of-a-bitch” or does he think a return to the policies that actually helped the average American – the policies implemented to actually serve the American people instead of the global elite and the Washingtonian “grifter class” – is the way to go?

Is Trump a “son of a bitch” to be exorcised from the halls of government permanently or is he someone McConnell will endorse should the GOP nominate him for the presidency a third time? Mitch can’t have it both ways.

McConnell’s political duplicity is exactly why people despise politicians today. He is hollow in his fidelity to the very principles he vomits on the campaign trail.

In his 2020 RNC Convention speech – in which he full-throatily endorsed Donald Trump for re-election, McConnell had the unmitigated gall to declare that he “watches out for” the people of the flyover states. The people of the flyover states overwhelmingly voted for the policies that brought Donald Trump to office; Florida, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, North & South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, North & South Carolina, Alaska, and McConnell’s home state of Kentucky all chose to continue the Trump presidency.

Yet, just two months later McConnell is standing arm-in-arm with the radical Left in the Democrat Party and the transparently corrupt never-Trump contingent, telling his besties, “The Democrats are going to take care of the son-of-a-bitch for us”?

McConnell has also spoken highly and in support of US Rep. Lynn Cheney (R-WY), who has gone absolutely off the rails over the January 6th event; all-in with the most left of the radical Left (one has to wonder if Cheney has had a stroke or is being blackmailed by this act of political suicide). So, McConnell supports the January 6th Committee’s political witch hunt but would endorse the person – or the “son-of-a-bitch” – who allegedly served as the catalyst for it?

How does this charlatan get to have it both ways consistently on every issue?

After all the backstabbing, after all the duplicity, after all of the financial self-enrichment, after decades of doing nothing to thwart Washington’s surge to the ideological Left, the Republicans of the gilded halls of Washington continue to elevate this grifter to leadership and the GOP apparatus and voters of Kentucky continue to send this snake oil salesman to Washington.

To state the obvious, I am not a fan of Mitch McConnell’s. Not only do I despise his career-long political opportunism and his penchant for putting politics before good government, but I have also consistently been confounded as to how a man with a speaking style akin to “Droopy Dog” could have achieved leadership in the world’s greatest debate forum: the United States Senate. And that’s not a personal attack, it’s simply a truth.

McConnell’s unfavorability among rank-and-file Republicans nationally – the second-lowest favorability ranking among those identifying as Republican (-3); only Utah’s Mitt Romney has a lower rating (-31) – evidently doesn’t translate to the corrupt “Inside the Beltway” apparatus. So, too, does it not translate to the Republicans and those who vote Republican in the State of Kentucky.

One can almost understand why McConnell has risen to the highest station in the “politics over government,” self-serving, K Street addicted Washington Republican establishment given how lost in corruption our federal government has become. But what does this political grifter have on the good people of Kentucky?

Let’s hope the voters of Kentucky come to realize that McConnell has been using them for his own gain for the last 38 years and choose to end his career, elevating US Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to senior senator status.

Then, let’s hope the rest of the Republican voters do the same with anyone who has been sent to Washington for over 20 years or who has proven to be two-faced like McConnell.

The time for a rejuvenated Republican Party has come and that doesn’t happen without returning to the principles of government over politics and service to the people rather than to self. And that can’t happen by re-electing the status quo.
