Mitch McConnell is a real sick bastard. For 237 days now, he’s spat on the Constitution by making up mythical rules that say that the nation’s first black president isn’t allowed to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court in an election year. He’s undertaken this unprecedented blockade in the service of keeping Antonin Scalia’s seat open so that McConnell’s preferred presidential candidate can pick a replacement come next year.
That preferred candidate is Donald Trump, who has now confirmed for us that he believes in sexually assaulting women:
“I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
“Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
And what does McConnell have to say about all this? He just wants Trump to apologize—and big deal, Trump half-heartedly complied. So now that means McConnell would be most pleased if Trump would head back on the campaign trail, beat Hillary Clinton next month, and then appoint his favorite crony to the highest court in the land. McConnell called on Trump to issue an apology for the sake of his three daughters, but does he really want his children to live in a world where Donald Trump gets to choose who sits on the Supreme Court?
The answer is yes. And for that, he must pay.
We need to beat the snot out of Mitch McConnell and the GOP. Dig deep and donate whatever you can to our Senate candidates.
