Fellow Democrats, I know we have been waiting for this moment for the last four years. We campaigned, volunteered, networked, prayed, yelled, and most of even cried in their sleep at the possibility of Trump’s reelection and what it means about the nation we love. Joe Biden’s victory is a vindication of truth over dishonesty and affirms America’s position globally. It’s a triumph, unlike any other Biden’s character, integrity, and decency are a direct contrast to Donald Trump’s corruption, dishonesty, and indecency. We should celebrate this with all our hearts and souls.
I do want to remind you that Donald Trump was not isolated in his actions to destroy our nation’s most valued characters of trust, honesty, and integrity. His enablers in the US Congress have supported Donald Trump’s worst impulses of conspiring with foreign powers, disregard for democratic values, and other similarly unacceptable violations of norms. There are many disgusting sycophants in the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, who not only ignored Trump’s worse offenses, but explicitly enabled him when he trampled with our great nation’s democracy, national security, and healthcare. Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, Paul Ryan, Matt Gaetz, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and many others have set aside their sacred patriotic duties and constitutional responsibilities to support Trump unequivocally. They lied to him. They spread conspiracy theories for him; they ignored the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians for him; they promoted Trump despite all his abuses and offenses. While the Jim Jordans’ and Lindsey Grahams’ of the Republican party were terrible, the worse offender of them is Mitch McConnell.
Ever since his election as Senate Majority leader in 2015, Mitch McConnell has violated his essential responsibilities on every level. He ignored Merrick Garland as Obama’s for Supreme Court Justice after Antonin Scalia’s passing. As the minority leader from 2007 to 2015, he had a singular mission as “Obstructionist in Chief.” He obstructed Obama’s leadership on immigration reform, climate change, health care, reasonable gun control, and federal stimulus with a singular mission to prevent President Obama’s success. Mitch McConnell was not just obstructing President Obama. Still, he was blocking our healthcare system, he was preventing our economy from growing, he was letting our children die in schools because of guns, and he was preventing our planet from healing. But Mitch McConnell did not care about our health, our safety, our nation, or the survival of our planet itself. All McConnell cared about is for Republicans to win the Whitehouse, take over US Senate, and win the US House of Representatives. He accomplished all of these goals in 2016.
From 2017-2020, Mitch McConnell transformed from “Obstructionist in Chief” to “Enabler in Chief.” He tried everything he can to repeal Obamacare without any real healthcare alternatives in place. He enabled Trump’s worse offenses on Muslim Ban, Child Separation, Corruption, and climate change. He not only ignored Trump’s unpatriotic collaboration with Russia, Ukraine, and China but enabled them by not even giving serious consideration to the impeachment proceedings. Mitch McConnell committed many fits of abuse and crimes by colluding with Donald Trump - but his worst offense is to ignore the death wish of Ruth Bader Ginsburg 36 days before the election and replaced her with a justice that was diametrically opposite to RBG in philosophy, women’s rights, and social justice. Mitch McConnell is directly responsible for the 6-3 Conservative-Liberal balance in the Supreme Court of the United States.
Make no mistake about it, if Mitch McConnell stays as the majority leader under Joe Biden, he will revert to his role as “Obstructionist in Chief.” He will prevent confirmations of Joe Biden’s cabinet picks. If a Supreme Court Justice opening comes up in Biden’s presidency, Mitch McConnell will not even let Biden’s nominees from getting a vote in the US Senate. He will prevent the Budget from getting passed. He will stop any immigration policies from getting voted on. He will do everything possible to continue Trump’s illegal immigration policies, climate change, and gun control.
Fortunately, we have a chance to fire Mitch McConnell in January. We have two great candidates - Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock competing in the Georgia runoff on January 5th, 2021. If we can get Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock selected to the US Senate, we can fire Mitch McConnell from his current role as “Obstructionist in Chief” and move him to Senate Minority leader. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock’s victory in January 2021 will allow Joe Biden to realize his mission to Build Back Better and Restore The Soul of our great nation.
Join me to elect Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock for the GA. If you can donate, please donate https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dscc-warnock-ossoff-runoff-nov2020 today to fire Mitch McConnell from his role as Obstructionist in Chief.
