    Joe Biden said Tuesday that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stopped the Obama administration from speaking out about Russian interference in the 2016 campaign by refusing to sign on to a bipartisan statement of condemnation.

    That moment, the former Democratic vice president said, made him think “the die had been cast … this was all about the political play.

    Moscow Mitch can shut his traitor ass up and get the fuck out

    Oh? Good thing you had nothing to do with it and definitely didn’t squander every chance you had to put this dirt pile behind bars.

    Just so everyone’s clear on this, this is not a “receiving the consequences of my own actions” moment. Mitch is LYING.

    McConnel has ALWAYS played lightning rod for the GOP, putting his face on the evil shit they do, so people hate on him, instead of the entire party. He knows his role. Don’t believe for a moment that he is anything other than ecstatic at the political state of the country.

    The fact that he hasn’t retired to enjoy the wealth and status he’s made for himself just proves it: he LIKES everything that’s happening. Dude’s gonna die happily in office.
