The New York Times opinion columnists Gail Collins and Bret Stephens have an opinion piece each week entitled "The Conversation". In this week's convo, Bret absolutely nailed Mitch McConnell's political perversity.
Mitch McConnell Is Part of the Cowardly Lion Wing of the G.O.P.
"Bret: A lot of our readers detest McConnell because he’s a highly skilled partisan. But that’s his job. My problem with him is that, unlike Cheney or Kinzinger, he’s totally unprincipled. If you blame Donald Trump for trying to overturn the election through illegal means, which McConnell did, then you have to vote to convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors, which he didn’t. If you think that a president from the opposing party shouldn’t have the right to nominate a Supreme Court justice during an election year (which is constitutionally preposterous), then you shouldn’t assert the right to do so when it comes to an election-year nominee from your own party.
McConnell is part of the Cowardly Lion wing of the G.O.P. that sometimes pretends to be appalled by the Trumpsters but always pulls its punches when it counts. He’s why the Republican Party keeps getting worse. Come to think of it, no jelly beans for him."
"Totally unprincipled". Could there be a better summary?
