The "Turtle" Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today vowed to be the "Grim Reaper" for progressive policies if Republicans hold on to the Senate in 2020.
"If I'm still the majority leader in the Senate think of me as the Grim Reaper. None of that stuff is going to pass," McConnell said while speaking to community leaders in Owensboro, Ky.
"I guarantee you that if I'm the last man standing and I'm still the majority leader, it ain't happening. I can promise you," McConnell added.
His comments come as Republicans have seized on proposals like the Green New Deal climate change resolution and "Medicare for All" to paint Democrats as shifting to the left and embracing "socialism" as the next election nears.
McConnell painted the 2020 election as a choice between capitalism and socialism, arguing that the latter has taken roots within the Democratic Party. He pointed to progressive pushes from freshman Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), making a veiled reference to the self-identified Democratic socialist.
"Now, my friends, we're having a legitimate debate about the virtues of socialism. And I don't want you to think this is just a 28-year-old congresswoman from New York. This is much broader than that," McConnell said.
On Monday, McConnell pointed to the large share of Democrats voting "present" on the Green New Deal as proof that socialism is "a pervasive policy view on the other side."
"I don't want you think this is just a couple of nut cases running around here on the fringe," McConnell said.
Nut cases, huh?
Fuck you, you dinosaur, wake up and smell your fucking demise, because the times are a'changing .
This country is being ripped apart by Trump, McConnell, Graham and the GOP in general, desperately trying to hold onto the past, which means shit today for the majority of Americans
Hopefully in 2020 the Dems will send the GOP to Hell where they so rightfully belong.
One more point, how the fuck did Kentucky and it's policies become the voice of America by the way?
