Lying liar and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell got caught in a whopper this week, repeating the outrageous Trump lie that the Obama administration had failed to develop a comprehensive epidemic response plan for its successor. When called on it four days later, he was forced to admit he was wrong. And no, Glenn Kessler and other "fact checkers," he doesn't get credit for backtracking on that blatant lie, because he never would have done it if he hadn't been called on it.

McConnell also doesn’t get credit because he's continuing to spew unadulterated crap on a daily basis. He sure as hell hasn't said he was wrong for saying that former President Barack Obama "should have kept his mouth shut" for criticizing Trump's response to this crisis. He didn't apologize for saying, "I think it's a little bit classless, frankly, to critique an administration that comes after you," in that same interview in which he falsely said there was no Obama pandemic plan. "You had your shot, you were there for eight years. I think the tradition that the Bushes set up—of not critiquing the president who comes after you—is a good tradition." But it's absolutely fine for the Senate majority leader to criticize, to disrespect the past president? Or does that only apply when that president is Black? McConnell definitely let his white supremacy show on that one.

We can save the nation in the next pandemic. We can boot McConnell and his majority, with your $3.
