What do you think Mitch McConnell meant by this quote?

I actually just responded to you on this very topic in the other thread.

Great! Thanks

Of course you didn’t.

Bless your heart.


Take the entire statement he made.

His first sentence was to diminish the real ongoing happenings of voter suppression—it is a FACT that voting areas that are predominantly black and Hispanic are being shuttered. McConnell dismissed their valid, factual concerns by stating that their “concerns were misplaced” he doesn’t give a fuck about black or Hispanic voters. He is part of the plan to eradicate their votes—one only has to look at what the man himself says and posts on social media—HIM, not news reporters slanting what he says.

Notice how these new seemingly conservative Alt ID/trolls only come out of the woodwork to defend racist speech by one of their own?

Otherwise, they pretty much contribute nothing to the conversation/board.

But golly gee…they cannot pass up a post in which their kind is being called out for making racist statements.

A Democratic Representative from VA sent this letter to McConnell

Here’s another for the conservatives defending McConnell.

This time Boebert-

Rep. Lauren Boebert Asked A Group Of Jewish Capitol Visitors If They Were Doing "Reconnaissance"
BuzzFeed News Reporter
Rep. Lauren Boebert on the House steps of the US Capitol after a vote on Sept. 24, 2021.
Rep. Lauren Boebert left a group of Jewish visitors to the Capitol bewildered Thursday morning when she asked them if they were doing "reconnaissance" after seeing them at an elevator at the Capitol.
Members of the group, which was meeting with Rep. Tom Suozzi, were wearing yarmulkes, and the person coordinating the group is Orthodox, with a traditional beard.
One witness said the group, along with other members of Congress, was waiting for an elevator. When the doors opened, Boebert stepped out of the elevator and looked the group of visitors “from head to toe,” the witness said. Boebert then asked if they were there to conduct “reconnaissance.”
“When I heard that, I actually turned to the person standing next to me and asked, ‘Did you just hear that?’” a rabbi who was with the group told BuzzFeed News.
“You know, I’m not sure to be offended or not,” the rabbi said. “I was very confused.” The rabbi added that “people are very sensitive” now, especially after what happened in Texas this past weekend, when an armed man held four people hostage at a synagogue.
Boebert told BuzzFeed News that she was referencing the many comments that have been directed at her from Democrats about Capitol tours prior to the Jan. 6 attack, adding that some people present “got it.”
​
“I saw a large group and made a joke. Sadly when Democrats see the same they demonize my family for a year straight,” she said in a text.
“I’m too short to see anyone’s yarmulkes,” she added.
Suozzi brought the group to the US Capitol to commemorate the 41st anniversary of the end of the Iran hostage crisis. Members of the group have been backing Suozzi’s efforts to recognize the hostages with a Congressional Gold Medal.
"The bottom line is that everyone, especially members of Congress, have to be very, very thoughtful in the language they use,” Suozzi said in a statement about the incident. “Because when you're a member of Congress, you have an important role to play in society. You can't be cavalier in the comments you make especially if they could be perceived as being antisemitic, or discriminatory."
Boebert has repeatedly come under criticism from Democrats and others for her comments in the year she’s been in office. In November, anti-Muslim remarks she directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar led to a flurry of debate among House Democrats over whether or not to formally reprimand her.
She has, at the same time, grown in influence in the right wing of her party. Boebert was tapped as the communications chair of the House Freedom Caucus. In her announcement, she said she’ll “work diligently to make sure the caucus’s message, and the powerful messages of each member, are delivered to the American people.”

"It's as bad as anyone in Congress who says anything like that."

Are you calling out McConnell for his statements?  I can't tell from your post, that's a pretty vague or generalized statement to make.

Love the hypocrisy of conservatives who complain when liberals mention anything about Trump.  But on a thread about McConnell, it's OK for conservatives to drag up a 15 year old quote about Biden.

I said it before and will say it again - it wasn't OK for Biden to say that about Obama.  However, he did apologize and clearly Obama forgave him because he picked Biden as VP

"This is a guy who's come along in a way that's captured the imagination of the country in a way that no one else has. That was the point of everything I was saying," Biden said.

Biden released a statement saying, "I deeply regret any offense my remark in the New York Observer might have caused anyone. That was not my intent and I expressed that to Sen. Obama."

Still waiting for an apology or retraction from McConnell

Shallow of you then in your little conservative bubble.

McConnell himself said he’d do anything to obstruct President Obama.

McConnell is actively suppressing voting.

Funny how it’s really the republican/conservatives hunkered down in their echo chambers.

Read the room, tear your eyes away from Fox, peek out from that echo chamber, look to see what black peoples are saying about McConnell’s words, then tell them that you don’t see the racism—I dare you.

That filthy decrepit old prick needs to go away. Or should I say, that greasy fuck turtle..... 





"Why's he always shiny kinda?" 

Yes, and what’s REALLY odd is that Obama chose Biden to be his VP. Twice. Go figure. You should write to Obama and ask him to explain himself.

Obama also said “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” And he certainly would know, and he did.

Rumors. And the rumor was referring to the election, not to Biden’s ability as the president.  And we all know exactly who f%cked up the election.  Hint - it wasn’t President Biden.  He won the election.

Both President Obama and Michelle Obama endorsed Biden and campaigned for him
