For 20-years we have called out the Machievellian nature of Mitch McConnell and his duplicitous agenda to support the UniParty apparatus in Washington DC. Heck, even the name of this site, “The Last Refuge” came from our non-pretending association as to the nature of the root cause of our problems within the Republican apparatus. Mitch McConnell has always been working for the other side.
Last night in the confirmation vote for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Mitch McConnell voted no. In an almost identical way to former Senator John McCain refusing to repeal Obamacare, Mitch McConnell ends his time in the senate with a very planned, purposeful and public rebuke of President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the military.
Do not overlook that Senator McConnell intentionally waited, just like McCain, to cast his ‘nay’ vote until the end of the vote call. McConnell did this with purpose and public intent, just like McCain. Vice-President JD Vance then steps-in to a 50/50 vote to cast the tie-breaking vote.
Mitch McConnell now exits the chamber as Pete Hegseth is now confirmed despite him.
.
President Trump was asked about Mitch McConnell’s vote as he departed California for the return to DC. Video Below:
.
WATCH:
NEW: Mitch McConnell seen waddling over to go shake hands with the Democrats after voting ‘NO’ for Pete Hegseth’s confirmation.
The move forced JD Vance to cast the final tie breaking vote.
The next four years will be a fight.pic.twitter.com/phfV6Did9C

What do you expect from a man that marries a Chines. MILLIONS of Amercian women and he has to marry into a family well-connected to China.
IF Mitch/Chao and her family were INVESTIGATED; you would find the $$$ trail to this country from China to be massively large. Mitch has used his office for personal gain of wife and him and HER CHINESE family.
He’s a despicable human being that has accumulated donor, establishment $$$ and gone to every state across USA to meddle in Senate races.
TRUMP BETTER deal with Mitch and NOW. GOP BETTER deal with Mitch NOW.
Not hearing much good about Tom Cotton either…the Mitch torch seems to be owned by him now.
Can O’Keefe or someone investigated Mitch/Chao/Chinese family. They are as criminal as the Bush’s and Clinton’s.
Peter Schweitzer, Secret Empires
Yes, Peter Schweizer has exposed much that is the scandal of Auntie Mitch McChina-McChao. In addition to Secret Empires there is his later book Red Handed and his latest Blood Money. All are excellent and document CCP influence, control, and compromise of American elites including politicians and particularly McChina-McChao. In addition to CCP influence, I have long suspected that there may be some other skeletons in Auntie Mitch’s “closet.” Btw, Murkowski, who was censored by the Alaska GOP, owes her senate seat to Mitch as he engineered a scheme to adopt ranked (rigged) choice voting in Alaska for the 2022 election when Murk ran as an independent, otherwise the legitimate GOP candidate who was pro-Trump would have won.
Closely after the stolen 2020 election, Cotton was quick to tell us “it’s time to move on” He’s lived up to my low expectations of him ever since.
Unfortunately if MM were to have a medical situation that finaly sent him to retirement. There would be another to take his place, even if he were to be replaced by an appointed Patriot. He has nothing to lose at this point and KY has a strong left of left club. Wasn’t it their Gov. that was in consideration for being KH VP?
Yes, Beshear
Who also won during a very shady election count, both times. I will never believe that Kentuckians voted +30 in 2016 President Trump, +26 % President Trump in 2020 and +30 in 2024 and then turned around and installed a Democrat as their Governor. He won by <1%.
Same thing for Louisiana in 2019.
Republican sweep for ALL State Offices EXCEPT Governor.
All election results announced between 8-9pm Election Day – EXCEPT Governor.
THEN:
Around midnight – from Carville’s New Orleans, 9th Ward stomping grounds – it’s announced- Dem John Bel Edwards is re-elected … (with FEWER votes then received by the Republican Lt. Governor)
THEN:
A Cyber Attack – shorty after midnight – shutting down 100% of ALL State Computers … for nearly 2 weeks … can’t contest an election count – if you don’t have access to the State computers.
THEN:
Louisiana had the 3rd COVID Nursing Home “HotSpot” … and “re-elected” Guv Edwards assured America Mardi Gras would NOT be Canceled.
THEN:
Hours after Fat Tuesday … the Guv announces “Mardi Gras was a Super-Spreader” and the ENTIRE County (except big-box stores) shut down !!!
Just in time for the 2020 Election Season to begin.
There. Are. ZERO. Coincidences in the demonRAT Party.
Did anyone ever check John Bel Edwards bank deposits ??!
Yes, and our Gov. Andy Beshear trotted over to Davos, to court the globalists . He’s going to run for VP or Pres. in 2028.
If it weren’t for stolen elections we would have 8 more MAGA Republicans in the Senate. 4 seats were stolen in 2022 and 4 in 2024. I am including Kelly Tshibaka (AK) in that number. Murkowski and McChina essentially stole that seat from her by inserting RCV in the state.
McChina also pulled funding from these Patriots and zero was done to investigate their shady losses.
Nobody despises McConnell more than me, but there’s plenty of cause to hold him in contempt besides the fact that his wife originates from China. Yes, she’s corrupt too but to then infer -all Chinese are corrupt is incorrect logic, of the sort that everyone on the side of reason should reject, especially when counterexamples are abundant and only one is needed to disprove this false generalization.
Her family has been in bed with the Chinese Communist Party for a very long time. Mitch has greatly profited from that.
It seems to jwmson makes the inference of Chao’s clear CCP connections. McChina fully knew about the family’s ties to the CCP and married her anyway. He saw $$$ signs, and she and her family saw quid pro quo.
Ditto!
I don’t believe he was inferring that all chinese are corrupt, only his ccp supporting wife.
It’s not logic ; it’s part of their culture . They think corruption , lying, and misleading is good practice .
Yes. The Chinese own Mitch and to his dying breath he has to do what they tell him to do. Mitch gets to finish out his “sell out” life taking orders from them.
They don’t call him Cocaine Mitch for no reason.
Trump is just so kind to his enemies. What an example for this country he is setting. I don’t give a rat’s behind about McConnell, what I care about are the people of Kentucky getting it right next time. Stop electing treasonous, traitorous, vile, greedy losers like that asshat. I wish he could be recalled. He’s a creep and everyone in that chamber knows it, including all the other creeps like pencilneck, Schiff. Kentucky, our nation deserves better, and you can certainly see now why this old fart has been working against the interests of the American people. Live and learn.
The people of Kentucky elected a DemonRat governor.
I found the following: At the urging of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2021, the Kentucky General Assembly changed a law that determined how the state would fill any potential U.S. Senate vacancies, shifting appointment power from the governor to the party of the senator leaving office.
Mitch-the-China-Bitch probably regrets his 2021 actions.
I doubt he regrets it. I’m only speculating, but I’d bet McTurtle has the same grip on the GOPe uniparty in KY as Songbird McCain had in AZ. That’s how these swamp critters operate, which is how we get millionaire senators with thirty-year careers.
And Governor Beshear has stated he will not follow that law.
I guarantee he will follow the law. He will just nominate a Democrat that has put an R behind their name.
Doesn’t that law call for the state party leadership (Republican in this case) to give the governor a list of names, and the governor picks one from the list?
So the Gov. Beshear does not get to pick the republican.
Like Mitch.
It’s not beneath him to change parties at the 11th hour. He doesn’t care.
No, the illegal ballots installed a Democrat governor and the feckless RNC did nothing to fight it.
The people of Kentucky elected a DemonRat governor.
How do you know this to be true ?
Uh, no they didn’t. Election fraud did. Teachers from Indiana and Ohio voted fraudulently. 5,000.
I do not think he is being “kind”. I think he tactically sets them off their game. Gutting them so fast they don’t know they are done for, until they start hitting the floor.
No, he’s not playing kind. He’s playing the hand he has been dealt. He’ll make sure KY votes for a MAGA person in the future. Mitch is on a banana peel going down for the count.
Unfortunately McConnell has accumulated so much power and influence, that he became invincible in the primaries. The Good People of Kentucky had to choose between and a Rino and the uber left Amy McGraith. I promise you Would Not be happy with her.
We all know Rino’s suck and why. Without Rino Mitch would we have gotten Trumps SC picks through? While there are no Clarence Thomas’s in the picks, it could have been much worse. Biden, would have had a larger majority in the Senate his whole term.
It’s a matter of pragmatism. This is why Our Lion (who knows more about Mitch than most of us) endorsed and rallied for Mitch in his last run.
As far as Beshear, I did not vote for him but the machine did.
Kind like he’s being to Pompeo LOLOLOL Love when POTUS Trump
givesshoves it to *them* in spades!!!McConnell, pulled the John McStain ‘thumbs-down’, what did those 3 republicans show us?
Kick all 3 of them out of the Republican Party, you shouldn’t be allowed use of the republican brand, voting with the Dems, for any BS reason(s). There was absolutely no reason to not support Pete, none. Where’s Michael Whatley when you need him?
Johnson nor Thune WILL. Should and We The People WOULD; but it’s politics and a game and how they play We The People.
IF Pete has gone down; it would have been scorched earth.
We The People have had enough of this crap for 4Y.
We ain’t playing games any more.
See Trump in western NC yesterday. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING had been done for these people destroyed by Helene. Govt officials TOLD ground workers IF TRUMP signs in yard or on property to SKIP those properties. Do you hear that. Totally destroyed properties, all lost, 20 degrees, living in tents and NO HELP; yet we (McConnell, Johnson, GOP, Dems SEND $BILLIONS to Ukraine).
Trump arrives yesterday and says, sending Corps of Engineers BACK to repair roads, bridges and FEDERAL $$$ COMING DIRECT FROM GOVT. ALL permitting REVOKED. These people were being denied permits and told could be up to 18 mos before repairs, rebuilding.
TRUMP has had it WITH POLITICS and GAMES.
So have the American people, or at least 50-55% across the country have.
It’s MANDATED. RAM IT DOWN THEIR THROATS at all levels.
With Pete’s confirmation, it IS scorched earth and it will be glorious.
And he put Michael Whatley to head it up. Told him he could have whatever he needed.
After Michael & PT fix it, Michael better run for Gov or Senator.
We need all 3 of them in the Republican Party right now so we can retain control of the Senate as the majority party. We control the business of the Senate and we should not hand that off to the Democrats. Your goofy idea is ignorant. We need to be actively working overtime to primary RINOs out of the party and install MAGA senators.
Your idea would make everyone all warm and fuzzy until the realities of having the Democrats controlling the Senate hit home … in what … a week?
But how much control of the Senate do you actually have when 3 (enough to flip the majority) are actively working against President Trump’s agenda, and all 3 sit on important, bottleneck committees?
Collins – Chairwoman Appropriations Committee
McConnell – Chairman Rules Committee
Murkowski – Appropriations and Energy/Natural Resources.
Thune put the biggest never-Trump RINOs in key choke points.
McConnell will not run again. He really is too old and sickly… so he will likely be a problem for Trump over the next couple years. Not sure when McConnell’s term ends.
I think his term ends in 2026.
He’ll stay until he reaches room temperature and they wheel him out of the Senate in a body bag.
Oh Glorious Day !!!
Term ends in 2026 unless he departs sooner.
Term Limits!
Nope. We need the majority standing.
The Official U.S. Government gutting out of the heart of America, the American factories, jobs, communities, local tax base, entrepreneurial wealth can be laid at the feet of the Great American Traitor Mitch McConnell.
Greedy, self-serving, water boy for backdoor elites, foreign and domestic.
What a Monumental Task to revive the real wealth generators, the American Entrepreneur, not the churning and skimming, Government/ Central Bank subsidized Money Financiers.
You can trace a direct line from the scrapping out of American Factories (out-sourcing) to the decline of America as Debt skyrocketed to the moon.
Devious and Amoral. The McConnell creeps in D.C.
Kam, your last sentence captures what has gone on in the last thirty-forty years… and Mitch and the boys (the globalists) were all in for offshoring our great manufacturing ability which by-the-way made this nation the powerhouse we became in the last century…
Been doing it for years, drove through Ohio in the 90’s it was awful. The Pretenders even sing about it. “My City Was Gone”. Rush used it, Chrissie even stepped back and understood. Said her parents listen to Rush all the time.
The good people of KY need a recall movement asap on Mitch. He needs to be outcast just like Liz Cheney.
Unfortunately, KY has a socialist governor until 2027, so even if the voters ditch Mitch, they lose.
As for future elections, I can’t speak to the up-and-comers in the KY GOPe , but my guess is that they are probably McTurtle acolytes.
and get to “his face ” every day……even to the “outhouse”……
No doubt this is McTutles last term. We can only hope he quickly joins his former partner in crime McStain. It looks like JD will be breaking a lot of ties in the Senate despite the republicants having a majority. God bless President Trump.
Mitch said that he voted against Hegseth for being unqualified and unable to run the DOD for the benefit of the country. Okay. How has Mitch done after 40 years as a Senator from Kentucky. 6 x 10 of the poorest counties in the country are in Kentucky, and that situation isn’t new. People there in his part of Appalachia live in abandoned mobile homes without power or water or operating septic systems. They use their front yards instead. That is what Mitch brings to the table. The Media should have told you that years ago.
While I agree with your assessment of Mitch and I get your point, I take issue with your depiction of some of the poor counties in KY. I was born and raised in one of those poor counties. We had water, power, and most of us had indoor toilets. My grandparents had an ‘outhouse’ as did our neighbor and it was not in their front yard. We had a warm morning coal stove in the living room for heat and a smaller stove in the kitchen (in addition to an electric stove) for both heat and cooking. My father paid $35/month for rent. Trailers were a later addition to my area.
A mule plowed a garden for us each spring and we canned everything. Our educational system was good. Rains would bring devastating floods. My Appalachian heritage fostered grit among other things.
How have previous Sec Defs done in managing money? I dare say Hegseth will not have to be very good to exceed what they did. DOD has billions (or trillions?) in unaccounted for $$ . DOD has NEVER passed an audit.
So Mitch is just now worried about managing money?
We can only hope that somehow all of the shenanigan’s Mitch has pulled in the past will come to light in a big way like the Hunter Biden laptop!
Open an investigation. This will sideline Glitch from any committees for years or until he retires. Make his life miserable.
Yes, an investigation. May he falls into his own pit.
Proverbs 26:27 states, “Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him”.
The press looks pleased to be able to finally speak to a competent president. It is hard to interview a vegetable.
I have another take on this vote to consider.
Maybe there is an opportunity to change guard in the Senate before 2026. Not sure yet how to interpret the 50-50 vote yet … Collins and Murkowski will do as McConnell Directs but were there others who actually buck the rotting corpse’s direction?? .. can Thune be Persuaded or is he being persuded?? … could the Republican Whip (John Barrasso) actually have a bit more influence, be hungry enough to want to lead the senate and be used as the bloody head to bring Thune into line??
The first 100 days will be interesting.
Rotting Corpse McConnell’s vote was symbolic on one hand and he waited until the end to “maybe” cast the deciding vote. The fact it was 50-50 had to leave a bad after taste in his mount….even for a Corpse.
McConnell is in the 2026 Mix to be replaced. Although he claims he wants to retire, do not be surprised if he pulls a Pelosi, to hang on until President Trump’s term is completed. Just like McCain…hanging on to the bitter end. Time to shine KY Voters.
Reminder: McConnell had announced his retirement at least 3 other times since 2018.
Plus: Of the 4 x Presidential Contenders in President Trump’s current Circle of supporters (JD, Rubio, KristiNoem and Governor Ron … JD Vance passed his first pop quiz.
Just a side note on the possibility of a Great senate Coup, even before 2026:
Senator Barrasso (R-WY) has always been interesting to observe when it comes to his dealings with president Trump. He is not necessarily a full member of the McConnell Club and has his own aspirations. He is up for reelection in 2030…PLUS there are land developers in Wyoming who covet Federally Owned land.
[Note on Rich Land developers: that is how Romney became the Senator from UT…Rich Mormon Land owners who were rewarded for their “investment” with land concessions and easements.]
Senator Thune (R-SD) on the other hand is due for reelection in 2028 … hmmm … a 2-Year difference and 2028. Plus, there are land and oil investors who covet stuff in SD.
PDJT won KY by 60+ percent. Even if MM is stupid enough to live to run in 2026, he will go down defeated. No way he will be re-elected, IMHO. I think the gig is up. Personally, I hope he drops dead long before 2026.
Just remember “the Lord is a God of judgment, blessed are those who wait for Him” Mitch McConnell doesn’t know he has judgment coming, but He will; here in this world and in the world to come.
McConnell is incontinent, handled by lobbyists while our President climbs stairs and plays a good round of golf inserting common sense into communist California.
Yes, it IS a fight. Stick together.
McConnell’s brain is hardened and locked in place.
Disgusting man, just like McCain. The old RINOs will fight on like Liz Cheney thinking they can get their party back.
Since Kentucky, like most states, does not have a specific recall mechanism for U.S Sentors, maybe the only way to deal with McConnell is to create a set of circumstances that force him to resign in shame. McConnell is clearly working against President Trump and the American people. Much information has surfaced about his VERY close ties to China through his wife’s family business interests. Some say that McConnell has been
bribedbought-off by China. Perhaps it is time for a fulsome investigation of those issues.Just the tip of the iceberg for Trump’s DOJ:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/author-alleges-china-used-business-deals-to-influence-families-of-mitch-mcconnell-joe-biden-1521141489
The 17th amendment ended the Republic, plain and simple.
Demoncrazy replaced the Constitutional State control of DC.
The Feral Beast was born
We found the enemy and it is our own congress.
What if McConnell had this all worked out except for the Tillis (D) vote for Hesgeth?
If not for Tillis McConnell would have had the kill vote last evening.
Things that make you want to spit.
Tillis is from North Carolina and Trump visited there yesterday. The ground support for Trumo in North Carolina must be really big. Tillis could not afford to be against Trump now.
Tillis will not win re-election in 2026. He’s BEEN A MAJOR disappointment. Never received >50% against weak dem opponents.
Word is Cooper (gov just retired) will run and will likely win that seat.
Conservatives in NC DESPISE Tillis. He’s disappointed 2x now and he has zero support of true Conservatives.
Cooper is horrible-he basically turned NC into a sanctuary state. He did nothing for the storm victims.
Tillis would have been toast if he had voted no, after the outstanding trip made to NC yesterday. Whoever plans his schedule is a genius,.
McConnell is an insidious little TROLL and his crimes go back to “Russian Collusion” when he and his ilk knew the allegations were B$ but used it to facilitate a traitorous soft coupe against Trump!
Trump didn’t know McConnell voted against him and all he said “We won. Winning is what matters”.
That show Trump’s amazing ly healthy mind set.
how many football coaches who win by 1 pt get asked by the press about “almost losing”.
B*tch McConnell attempts to strike again, but FAILS!!
Poor ol’ B*tch is loosing relevance, but on the plus side, he is gaining in catatonic lapses & drooling.
Methinks ol’ B*tch does not make it the next 4 years.
And 1 last note to B*tch, you have proven time & time again how YOU cannot manage the Fed’s Trillion $$$ budget, & yet there you still are twaddling around the Senate floor like you hot sh*t.
Well, you’re 1 out of 2 B*tch baby & it ain’t hot. I’ll leave it to you to figger out what’s left.
I also suggest that we change the party affiliation of B*tch, Murky, & Collins from R to POS!!
He did not win in 2020 b/c we know the vote was rigged. Time to help him to his retirement, somehow.
I guess we just found out Fetterman is all hoodie no rap.
Fetterman is a coward. He is afraid what demon rats party will do to him. Eat more lard turd.
Yes, for all the talk about Fetterman being a reasonable Senator who might help Trump, he votes with his party. Maybe he will be the next great Rino.
That SObs McConnell has planned these vote NO to embarrassed PDJT. The letter was ready for dissemination. Folks, it failed miserably. Go home sick man.
Mitch is the new John McCain. He is bitter and resentful that he is old, infirm, and has lost power. He blames President Trump because he needs someone to blame. It’s sad. He no longer represents the interests of Kentuckians which is shameful while he engages in the childish undermining of the President. He can’t be out of office soon enough.
Thought he was leaving the senate
Eventually.
McConnell, Murkowski and Collins are all chairmen of Senate committees. Take these chairmen positions away from them. They need to be reprimanded/punished for going against their entire party, their President, and “the people” ` who all want this 119th Congress to begin to repair and restore our country.
VP Vance is the head of the Senate, he should tell Thule to remove them from all leadership positions in this Senate.
Don’t forge that Collins and Murkowski had to vote “no” first to set this up (just like the ObamaCare vote).
The game is all too obvious now. Fool us once….
I suspect we’ll be seeing more instances of McConnell and his angels over the next 4 years.
Don’t forget, McConnell put his thumb on the scale for Murkowski over Tshibaka in Alaska.
Tshibaka would have made a great Senator.
It will be a great day for this country when McConnell reaches room temperature.
Damn, after watching that video, I could have sworn Biden had already departed for the beach.
Seriously, when someone tells you that the Republican party now controls Congress, repeat ‘bull…t’ to their face.
All the calls for McTurtle to resign are misguided. The KY governor is a socialist and will name a socialist to take the seat if McTurtle left.
time for mitch to pass the drool bucket.
The sooner Chyna-Mitch drops dead, the better. He can join McCain in h*ll. We know one by their fruit and both bear the fruit of satan not Christ. Judgment is coming Mitch – sooner rather than later.
However, I don’t wish eternal damnation on anyone. They choose it and Mitch will get what he has chosen and what he deserves.
Last year, before Trump won the nomination, I predicted that ultimately 2-3 GOP Senators would either switch party or go “independent” and caucus with Democrats to give them the majority.
Collins, Murkowski, and now McConnell.
The hand shaking makes it harder to keep up appearances, but it’s clear that we still have a 5th Column in the GOP.
McConnell already had Thune lined up, but the ONLY reason he’s not the Majority Leader is PDJT. He can shiv Trump with his pro-Democrat votes, but he’s no match for Trump rhetorically or mentally.
Good for Pete. I hope he doesn’t move Space Command to AL but I’m biased to my home town.
I’d like to know how many Republicans voted for EACH of Obama/Biden candidates.
“Winning is what matters”
Exactly. You don’t get extra credit for getting 99 votes.
Given the state of the military right now, I hope Pete is as savage as he claims to be about our broken woke military.
I like how President Trump has reclaimed the clenched fist from the bolsheviks.
Similar to McCain the American people will be far better off when Mitch McConnell is long gone. And while this may sound harsh it is still simply a matter of fact. In the meantime, enjoy that L, Mitch.
McConnell worked with Pelosi to orchestrate Jan 6-
Nothing new about this traitor.
I wonder if the Trump Team are going to states with weak Rino’s and feeling out if they can get “recall” vote to cast the garbage out.
They have to be quiet about it, and build the momentum until Trump Team can “recall” the Rino’s and get them OUT of congress and Senate.
This “recall” move could quiet the weak RINO’s to stay in line or “recall”.
Nice that Thune pushed it thru. Maybe he will be a nice surprise. Maybe he, like some, needed a strong leader (Trump) to step into the deep end. Didn’t want to be out there alone. Sign of weakness? Sure. But it got done.
Similarly, it seems ICE and military have gotten moving. Yes, following orders…..but I’m sure many were grinding their teeth not able to do anything. Now they have been released.
Screw Cocaine Mitch and those 2 other backstabbers – Nice Guys can/do finish first, congrats Pete Hegseth.
When MM and Piglosi hits room temperature they better not end up on display in the Capital like McCain.
That crap needs to stop.
This was a carefully choreographed dance, with McConnell set up to be the bad guy, and shield the other 99 Uniparty crooks. And personally, I think Vance is a Uniparty crook too, so that made 100.
The Uniparty couldn’t get an Esper in there, and had to settle. They’ve still got an iron lock on the budget, meaning this minor skirmish may not mean much.
Now if Hegseth forces through some restructuring and sunshine, I’ll reconsider. He can start with a no holds barred audit.
Mitch the Itch almost did it again, only this time the President of the Senate was on MAGA’s side.
I have nothing but disdain for that traitorous, backstabbing piece of human excrement. As in Dante’s inferno, traitors are relegated to lowest level, 9th circle, of hell along with judas iscariot. It’s unfortunate that Kentucky has a demorat governor who just would replace him with another ‘rat. Yeah, I know what the law in Kentucky says but beshear said he would ignore it setting up a legal battle. Unfortunately, beshear is in there until the 2027 election.
Not the Bee does a great summary of Turtle:
Everyone is whaling on Mitch McConnell for his vote against Pete Hegseth, which forced JD Vance to break the tie
https://notthebee.com/article/everyone-is-wailing-on-mitch-mcconnell-for-voting-against-pete-hegseth-forcing-jd-vance-to-break-the-tie-then-going-over-to-talk-with-the-dems-after-the-vote-
Enjoy your last few years – McConnell, Murkowski, Collins.
Expose him and all his skeletons. Playing hardball now Mitch. Go F yourself.
At a minimum, President Trump needs to tell Majority Leader Thune to remove McConnell from his committee chairmanships.
