BlueSt0rmRising MoscowMitch prefers to go by 'Grim Reaper.' Either way, he's strangling Senate action for nefarious reasons.

DianeAdair11 Big answer? He’s a turtleful of evil and pettiness.

Just like trumpf.

AllRussianAgentsUnite

Because he is the Grim Reaper AKA The OBSTRUCTIONISTS

gopMutantTurtle

Because he, in my opinion, is a Nazi

It’s terrible! How can we get around him? He’s like a snake!

Paid for.

RWwatchMA Hes king jester of the paid by russia party.

Fake lying network

EileenForBlue Mitch is not going to stop help from the Russians because he's so far behind in his state he can't win without their help. There is no other logic to his inaction

Also the wife reminds me of Imelda Marcos. Remember her the greedy shoe lady?

Money 💰 money 💴 money 💵 $$$$$

Este señor McConnell va a conocer ahora en, 2020 el país donde nació cuando empezó la administración Trump Paul Rayan público en twitter que el iba a estar muy feliz cuando ya viera a EEUU en quiebra yo pensé este loco de que hablá

1FroggyEvening

McConnell is a criminal

Mitch knows the only way trump and the republicans can win is to cheat.

Why would he want to enforce laws, when the Turtle neck SOB, POSPOTUS and the corrupt GOP profit from LAWLESSNESS?

Get him out..he can take his wife with him!

Need a new leader in the senate. Who agrees?

That’s because he is a TRAITOR.

Sounds like someone should be checking his tax returns.

Foreign money.

Resign you corrupt , despicable person. You don’t care about your country only want you Party to win by any means

Mitch defo has to go along with a lot of good ole boys in the Republican Party

He's been compromised too. Russia has something on him! InvestigateMcConnellNow

Mitch 'stared directly at the opening of the arc of the covenant' McConnell

CorlessHanson Only one way to protect the USA - DitchMitch DitchMitch DitchMitch DitchMitch DitchMitch DitchMitch

Throughout all this with 45 and the regime, I'm learning that I am disappointed with the American legal system; the Constitution has weaknesses. These dangerous and unethical criminals need to go. Surely there is a mechanism for that.

Lyn_Samuels CrookedMitch StupidOldGeezer ComradeMcConnell

Because the russians are working in favor of Republicans at this time. I said it once I'll say it again the russians have infiltrated the Republican party.

Who tf cares? Unless they address illegal aliens voting they are purely political. McConnell has judges to confirm.

littlesueellis Time to repeal and replace Mitch McConnell. DitchMitch Democrat2020 VoteBlue2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

He is dirty, protecting a dirty Trump.

Sickening

Probably because he’s counting on foreign help ro fet re-elected in 2020.

If your a turtle then what is your wife

McConnell has abused his position in the Senate to obscenity. The Senate Republicans need to get their heads out of their posteriors and start living up to your oath of office or you all share in his guilt.

He want Trump to be able to get help to win the election, so he can stay in power to fatten his pockets.

Because Mr trump can’t win without foreign interference. The man can’t win on his own...ever.

paulstar Vote him out!

Dems have to concentrate on getting McConnell out of office in 2020, he is the cause of our division and mistrust. DNC must spend enough money to counter Chinese and Russian money on McConnell's election.

Because his pockets aren't full yet . Not to be . Whatever , but somebody will get real pissed with him and the results could be terminal .

MReynolds407 Compromised and complicit senatemajldr

Again why GOP SenateGOP senatemajldr does the Senate only have 1 Senator voting? What are the other 49 doing?

Shouldn’t his wife be brought before congress to answer her corrupt financial entanglements?

Because Putin didn’t give him permission...yet

Well - try getting rid of the parts that are Marxist, Socialist, fascistic and downright stupid - I'm sure it will let it through! TellTheTruth

Maybe it's time all those NRA lovers that you protect should show up at your house and business armed and not let you leave. it's going to come to that Mitch keep it up you are asking for a lot of trouble. Start doing your job!

Because he’s a kompromat Russian tool.

easy they work for russia not america time to vote in someone new

can mcconell be impeached?

Mitch couldn’t get re-elected without a corrupt election

He doesn’t want to piss little Donnie off before the GOP has to get their shit together on funding legislation.

Multiple bills, of all types. One man is stopping all progress in this country. Unacceptable. Impeach Mitch. ImpeachMitch

baalat1 He would not risk getting in the way of Russia helping 🇷🇺45!

mgoldsmith Mitch will block everything Dems bring because he needs to be re-elected $$$ Russian coming in -

baalat1 FIRE🔥that Bum!

Big answer his God is Putin. Took too much $ from Russia

SwampDrainNow Why? Golly, who knows?

Maybe he's trying to protect the illegal activities of his wife to benefit himself in the upcoming elections in kentucky.He's has to be a busy man,with her funneling funds and now being investigated and him benefiting from them.He's been a bit frazzled. Seems he has a conundrum.

How does that ass have so much power ?

Time to be responsible Leader McConnell Republicans are bending over backwards to protect the President America come first

SwampDrainNow

Raiderdad63 Voter ID cures all of these problems. Democrats want nothing to do with it.

Comrade senatemajldr knows that GOP can't win with Election interference. That's why he blocked POTUS44 BarackObama joint effort to unite against Russian interference. Like the GOP, AgentOrange aka Individual1 aka TheClownKing realDonaldTrump McConnell is a TRAITOR

Bigger question: why isn’t he being asked about it relentlessly?

Nope just socialist Pelosi nonsense

Anyone investigating WHY this is happening

Where are the demands for an up or down vote? SenSchumer do your job and demand senate votes.

Simple Putin told him no This person and wife needs to be investigated his wife Chinese connections and his Russian connection

Protecting our elections shouldn’t be up for debate, it’s the cornerstone of our democracy. Republicans should speak out against this he’s not allowing our elected officials the ability to do their jobs and uphold their oath of office. Secure elections is not an us vs them issue.

Seriously, why is he blocking election security bills? He’s got a Russian investor to invest $200M in Kentucky. The same Russian that had sanctions in place then removed. Who is investigating Mitch? Do you think Trump is the only Putin target? Think again.

Mitch is a disgrace to his state and to this country!

DITCH MITCH THE DICTATOR IN THE REPUBLICAN SENATE....

He truly is a sick man. It’s way past time for him to retire, go back to Kentucky and do something that doesn’t involve government.

It’s been to long, Mitch you have to go!!

Please find out. Please.

Cuz he is in thick with dem Russians too

McConnell and GOP can’t win without cheating

lauferlaw Most hated person in congress. Second most hated in government. Totally corrupt

Uh, because he's evil, duh. Come on, what else could it be? 😗

Why? You cant stay in power if you follow the rules.

because he fears a secure election will deprive him and his cronies of reelection

He is part of the corruption! Investigate and what will you find!

MitchMcConnell is the most corrupt in the cult of GOPCorruption and NancyPelosi wants to join them.

Boundaries continue to be pushed because GOO is emboldened by lack of consequences...

What is he afraid of?

Is it because McConnell has never read Volume I of the Mueller Report?

Maybe those bills just suck.

This guy should be in jail

McConnell is a traitor to American values and is compromised by Russian money.

DitchMitch in turtlesoup!

Why does that one position have so much power?

Trump and the Confederate Senate; Build the wall, but leave the backdoor open..😐

DitchMitch2020

This isn’t true.

We the people vote for senators to bring our voice to the government. The Senate is being obstructed by McConnell and thereby obstructing the voice of the people. He must be challenged and charged with dereliction of duties, at a minimum.

We get it you’ve posted the same misleading article 20 times now. Where is you’re article about how the Dems are blocking voter ID laws? Why don’t they want people to have IDs ?!?!?

He's a buttface.

Mitch McConnell the walking dead

Since our *senators* have decided not to represent the people who pay their salary how about we just hold our own elections & we the people vote on all the new bills/laws directly by popular vote? Maybe the 1st vote should include abolishing the senate?

Because he want Trump to wins the election and he wants to continue business with Russia!

Because he is a crook with a cause... and his wife has a job that allows her to fleece the American taxpayers while trampling the Constitution along with Trump.

MITCH MCCONNELL IS NOT AN AMERICAN. UnAmericanMitch

MountainGreener It is the only way to win when your approval ratings are horrible.

And, yet, he wants a pay raise...for doing nothing!!

He's not going to be re-elected, so he's acting like a Bulldozer.......

Because he’s unfit to serve the public?

Ya and none of them would prevent illegal aliens from voting so piss off America isn't fooled by your shenanigans SenSchumer .

Pelosi/Dems block immigration to fund boarder security to help end the national security emergency at the boarder.

can't we impeach McConnell just for that?

He’s a crook, another traitor to this nation.

Russia filling this guy’s pockets too

Because he's counting on the Russians helping him get reelected.

How did America get here?!?!

According to senatemajldr, defending our elections from foreign attacks = 'socialism'.

FBI NSA need to look into MitchMcConnell being on Russia payroll.

Well because he is trying to help trump! That’s why! Security of general election is the last thing they want! TrumpWillCheatAgain

Why? Because he's in the same barrel with the person he thinks is his boss. McConnell forgets that he works for America not Trump.

McConnell and Repubs now feel free to flaunt their corruption. MConnell is fine with Russian interference as long as Repubs win elections. I don't know if our country can recover from this.

He would make a perfect Mrs Doubtfire if they ever do a sequel.

Empnew He is a traitor.

BarbaraHamrick Because he is complicit. So is his wife.

Because he is as dirty if not dirtier than Lardassovich Daddy's Money. He may be the dirtiest in Senate history.

Traitor.

Because he needs RUSSIA to install him. This is the one we have to worry, Russia installs next!

Mitch needs to go bye bye 👋

ImpeachMcConnell

Only one reason I know of that's to make sure trump wins.

Ya gotta ask - what pork did the Democrats add into the bill that makes it unacceptable? But of course MediaBias and LiberalHypocrisy prevent mainstream media from reporting with JournalisticEthics.

KTynot McBitch doesn't care, this ancient bigot is installing White Right Christian theocracy to replace Democracy in America. He will leave soon once the Corporatocracy is firmly in place and the majority of hard-working families are either indentured or enslaved.

Yikes.

Likley hes being paid to. Plus hes well and truly feathered his nest so doesnt care if hes reelected or not, thats why hes a smug ass about it

KTynot I can’t believe MSNBC asks such a rhetorical question.

AZoljan McConnell doesn't care about the Constitution.

That’s ok 👌 we’ll get Elaine.

Keep in mind Mitch runs again in 2020 . Support ANY candidate that runs against him!

Vote this treasonous p.o.s. out

The real face of evil!

Simple....he's just an ugly human being in every possible way.

Shameful senate leader and he knows it too.

How are Republicans going to get elected if we have fare elections? McConnell obviously expects foreign help.

Probably because hes being fed oligarch money for aluminum plants in Kentucky. Wouldn't want to upset that deal huh.

This man is a criminal every bit as much as Trump is. Opposing election security is an admission of guilt.

Mitch is demential and is no longer cognitive. ImpeachMitch!

BlueSt0rmRising I can't believe some true Kentuckian hasn't taken his dead, grey legs off!

CathrynLSmith1

Could it be his wife could get caught up with China influencing her through the family business?

What’s the problem can’t Senator Turtle figure out how he and his Transportation Secretary wife can make money on the side?

Because he is a fraud and his wife is also

Again the the msnbc propaganda babbling.

Report the work thats gone on everyday not doom porn making it sound like there aren't any measures. Its like you wabt to plant the same seeds Clinton did. She lost 2x .Its her not anything else. WalkAway BLEXIT lexit JEXODUS MEXIT

Russia job MICH is weak

ditchmitch

stealthgirl21 Question is why is Senate Majority Leader Bitch McCONell

Mitch is the most worthless public servant in the history of all time.

Could the fact that his wife occupies the cabinet position where both he and she get huge economic advantages And, that der kaiser keeps her in his pocket

CheriJacobus Because he's a sneaky snake!!!

💩

MaddowBlog The censure resolution for McCarthy says that he obstructed the Senate from carrying out its constitutional duties & that it is contrary to senatorial traditions & is ‘hereby condemned.’ McConnell has obstructed the Senate...Remind him he was elected!

JamesCo57890315 Because, his wife may lose her job if he did the right thing. Both are benefitting from being in the proximity of the crazy dude.

The Grim Reaper knows he’s number 2 on the list, before his walk begins. No do overs.

senatemajldr nytimes AP craigmelvin AliVelshi CNN realDonaldTrump AC360 TheView TheTalkCBS Its a shame that narrow minded people such as McConnell control the destiny of the current state of our nation

D**k...

CheriJacobus RealJohnDennis why don’t you focus on this traitor Repugnant-can rather than attacking the Speaker? Do you care to comment on this?

Hey senatemajldr, do you benefit from election interference? Is this why laws to protect US elections are in your LegislativeGraveyard ? THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PARTISAN ISSUE!

Ask him.

senatemajldr wants the repeat of 2016 election where foreign nations can collude with their king especially Russia. This so called lawmaker doesnot not make law but a law blocker. grimreaper

Mitch McConnell is an impediment to our country's passing critical legislation! Sad!

ladalavara

Thank you MSNBC

Time for Mitch to go .

To maintain power!

He has money invested with Russian oil. He is in deep with the Russians and my guess is it goes back at least 20 years.

You mean socialist election rigging bills WalkAway

Ditch

'Big question: Why is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocking election security bills?' Big answer: He's a TRAITOR! He would rather aid the interests of foreign adversaries than secure our elections if it means he benefits from foreign election interference. TraitorMitch

jarrettat Why is he blocking any bill? Doesn’t he trust his senators?

Why haven’t you asked SpeakerPelosi why she is sitting on some bills as well. Sure that does not fit your one sided news

I guess Mitch thinks he needs outside help to win.

randypcox He owes Trump to keep his wife in her position so they can profit and keep their power

lauferlaw MAYBE CAUSE HIS WREAKING BOWELS ARE BLATANTLY BLOCKED

They need to get Mrs. McConnell up to the hill. She has some splaining to do.

Because a bill says election security does not make it so remember the Afforable Care Act it increase insurance so much then added so high deductibles most taxpayers had income halfed and could not use because of deductible. Watch the names folks most will screw you!

BIGGER Question: why is he still allowed to be senate majority leader? He is a corrupt do-nothing for-profit politician, just as self-serving as trump.

We are officially a Russian puppet State.

McConnell is a POS traitor.

Terrible

Follow the money

Republicans can’t afford elections without making registration difficult, access to voting polls limited and obtaining pre-election help from any source. Hence, blocking all election security measures.

alienscanhaveme senatemajldr is a traitor. Plain & simple. No arguments, he’s proved this repeatedly. I hope he chokes on the pieces of lettuce in his tank.

What about the Border conversation?

He is The Enemy of the People

What electiion seciruty bills? There are none that ensure election security.

lauferlaw Are you all simpletons? It's bleedin' obvious why McConnell is blocking election safety and integrity bills.

He is loathsome and he and his corrupt wife need to go.

Because that is how Republicans win.

How about illegals being registered and allowed to vote in CA? Let’s address that crime.

Why bambamwv yall all frauds. Simpletons

One jerk shouldn’t have this much power. Our system maybe better than most but has a long way to go to be of use to the people. Even bipartisan efforts can’t get around the human turtle?

putinsclown Come on . You really don't know why? He's been bought off by Russians. Wake up and start telling the truth that our Democracy is being threatened.

lauferlaw Because the GOP has been receiving foreign help manipulating elections long before Trump. Expose DT, expose GOP. Cruz worked with Cambridge Analytica b4 Trump—start there, then Mitch.

Because he needs that hack to win in 2020 or he’s toast.

dear FBI can you lance this boil on America's ass? senatemajldr has violated numerous laws. nprpolitics CNNPolitics

This is why!!!

There will be no good outcome for you Mitch. senatemajldr

Chuckw12 Can't imagine why that would be. Maybe because senatemajldr knows the trough isn't quite empty yet? 😠

Sounds like he has something to hide, maybe about himself.

Mitch is Incompetent. He will not be re-elected. Even his followers have had enough of his inaction and ineptitude.

He's just as much a criminal as Trump.

This should be the lead story on every News outlet until McConnell starts to feel pressure to do his job! So far he has skated on issues like this for far too long! McConnell is just as dangerous to our democracy as Donald Trump!

Because that mumbling turtle knows the Great State of Kentucky is about to vote him out. So blocking those bills can only help him retain his seat!

The fix is on

Something has to be done about this very corrupt man and his even more corrupt wife. And now. 😤

Get rid of McConnell!!!

The endangered Dinotraitor.

Because he’s a traitor b

I’d love to see someone like maddow or chucktodd interview him and ask him why.

lauferlaw Maybe cuz he's corrupt AF?

kenmcrory In 2020, Mitch can tell his tales from the crypt oh history's dustbin.

Mitch has to go?

Why? What possible, justifiable reason?

CheriJacobus

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We know why. Maybe y'all should grow a pair and ask him. On the record. Other than the obvious, the man is a...

Because he is guilty of crimes against this country.

CheriJacobus Hmm

If election interference helped you and there was no consequences for it you’d be dumb not to block things that threatened it.

Vote him and his extra chin out!

CheriJacobus Ask senatemajldr about why he believes he and his grifter wife, ElaineChao , should personally profit because of political positions... they learned well from China and Russian dictators/autocrats

Because he’s a feckless c who is on the take... he’ll end up in an orange jumpsuit

Oleg Deripaska. Come on guys! This shouldn’t even be a question.

I believe TheDemocrats will have a 2020 debacle if these men senatemajldr SLEAZY AG Barr double faced LindseyGrahamSC Lying tedcruz freedomcaucus Scotus are allowed to roam free unchallenged on Patriotism, Legal Premises, Obstruction and collaboration with ENEMIES OF USA!

CheriJacobus senatemajldr places his own power and realDonaldTrump first, not America or American’s security. Media needs to highlight his treachery.

CheriJacobus Corrupt

Because he’s been a right wing blocking everything senator for past 10 years cares more bout republicans then USA 🇺🇸

So what, those laws are already in place, how about infrastructure and immigration! These guys are idiots.

Obvious! They’re buying tRumps way into another term so he can finish destroying America ~~

Why does Mitch McConnell hate America?

FuckMitch

Anybody surprised 😯

Yes, those Facebook ads really compromised our election process. lmao

Keep up your lies cause we going to sit back and laugh our butts off when your backers get theirs.

'Mr.Furley' from Three's Company is a Disgrace to America.

Well done Kentucky for voting for this corrupt dinosaur

Dems, you could tell us what's in the bills, so election boards around the country can start taking steps anyway, law or not. How 'bout it?

Mitch may be both a China and Russian Asset

He is tied into Russia just as much as trump

Border security is first?

should report on how global warming gets worse by the day while ignorant corrupt politicians have their heads in the sand!

He even made sure they got his password 'ilickorangeballs'!😬✌

Because he is a P of 💩

A picture is worth a thousand words!!!

Sad human being

because MitchIsTheTrueRussianSpy

Kentucky, you need to shed this rotting sack of liverwurst.

Because McConnell is a self serving person who sold out to Dark Money years ago. He doesn’t represent the People.

Because he isn't a true American anymore.

Russian asset

Seems like the FBI might ask why.

Because Democrats add things republicans cannot accept

FlipSenate remove the wantbe king

I started saying about 8 months ago. This is the most dangerous traitorous person in the United States. & he’s Senate Majority Leader! When is this man going 2 B investigated?

He's scared.

Vote. Him. Out.

McConnell is as corrupt as trump

Because he doesn’t want election security?

He blocks everything and blames democrats, helping Trump

GOP has a majority in the Senate and McConnell won't even let the bills come up for a vote!

He wants to b re-elected and thinks the only way to do is to cheat. No honesty between the Republicans and their constituents. Only lies and propaganda.

McConnell is such an egotist. He only is concerned with his pocket book and his political stature. Too hell with all others.

I'm not sure why Mitch hasn't been able to do his job. He is probably told what to do by ppl that want to disrupt the American govt. He's been fucking with us for years. corruptGOP TrumpRussia CoverUp EnemyOfThePeople is what senatemajldr is. He is not acting in good faith

Would be nice if there were a higher power than congress that could swoop in and put all these obstructionist, law breaking, liars in jail, or impeach. Or anything other than the nothing that's been happening now.

Election security is not socialism. He wants to make sure republicans win through cheating.

Arrest this traitor. He is more dangerous than any terrorist from the outside.

Investigate him and wife's family business dealings, c'mon quit letting this crooked reaper get away with murder!

These people are foreign adversaries who infiltrated long ago!!

The Kremlin told him not the vote to protect this country. Maybe someone FBI maybe should start an investigation

Fetid old man... retire already!

Typical republican. He’s all law and order when he wants his way, but will cheat his ass off when he knows he’s losing. FuckMitch

Treasonous

He’s a sellout and a traitor. He doesn’t care about the people he represents. Drunk with power. He is mortal. He will grow old and meet the real Grim Reaper. He’s going to get a kick out of the irony. Karma

jessica_2630 Perhaps the House should cut off money until Turtle McConnell clears his desk of the other bills sitting in the McConnell graveyard.

sllertzman Is there not some mechanism in the Senate whereby the Speaker can be overruled by a majority of other senators?

Abu Baker

Four. Four GOP Senators could end Mitch's nonsense. Four GOP Senators could tell Mitch NO confirmations until the election security bills are taken up. Unfortunately, you can never find a hero when you are looking for one. secondwavebluesenate

Voter ID law should be the first one they approve.

TheCrone17 Criminals who accept bribes and steal from USA citizens

What isn’t being blocked by McConnell?

He is kissing up to Trump, whatever Trump wants from the Senate or McConnell he gets, no questions asked. It's call corruption.

I will never be put in office again! Any office.He lacks trust to govern with diplomacy.

What do they need secured from? 2016 nor 2018 had one vote illegally changed

Will someone please put him in an Old Age Home and threw away the key !!!

GOP becomes a villain and trouble maker for Americans they have destroyed Republican Party and America for good

The same guy who blocked any action before the 2016 election.

He isn't just swamp leader he is the most corrupt sewer rat in Washington

sakuzmum To do Putin’s Job again

Twiddling while Rome (that would be America) burns! Damn turtle face better clean up his act before we clean him out of the Senate!

How is this democracy? One person deciding what gets discussed. Of course the rest of his cohorts in the senate are happy not to have to show their colors.

Dirty Mitch needs to be thoroughly investigated

About time you start asking the tough questions. Hmm?

drdoodlie1994 Reporters should be all over his ass demanding why he is working against securing our election process. Why would any American be against this?

Lock him up

Mitch McConnell is holding back that one bill because he was probably paid by Russia not to pass it!

The dislike of Trump is global. I am in Singapore and yesterday riding with a cab driver, who barely spoke English, he made it very clear for his distain for Trump and ALL of the damage he has done/doing in the world. Trump has gained international infamy - SadMustChange

It’s what Russia wants

Hello. Compromised, just saying. He sold his soul for that aluminum factory.

CNNSitRoom

He's the devil

SenSchumer CNNSitRoom SenateFloor SenateDems DOJ_EOIR SenateGOP

Answer might lie in his military paperwork. He was in then out in a couple of months

Because trump isn’t in charge Mitch is

lol Security Bills ? Not even close, more socialist nonsense

GLSCHWALL If only FDR would have blocked Mitch's New Deal paid for polio treatments like Mitch blocks today's children's healthcare needs to give the money to people like the Trumps.

Puleeeeze - WE know why. 🤨

Where is your SCREAM gop. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY. VOTE PEOPLEz

He has an agenda with which these bills would interfere, just like our President.

You people need to understand Putin or anyone else will do nothing this time,they create a mess and they know that this creature will not leave position nicely,he will create a mess before he leaves because everyone knows what’s next...sad time we live in

McConnell is refusing to take votes on almost all bills coming out of the House. He is not doing his job. McConnel needs to retire.

Does anyone have a tally of how many bills senatemajldr is sitting on? Hope they all hatch!😉

Greed

The police can protect the voters from the Black Panther bullies!!

rentonwa1 The Majority citizens in this country will end this reign of terror brought on this country by the the enemies of this country, Mitch and 45's administration. Without interference voters will vote them out. Repugs can't win without cheating or some form of vote suppression.

So they win playing dirty just like before. They’re not going to make it easier or protect our election.

Is he accountable to no one? What are his reasoning? followthemoney

Who is this Old Tuttle?

Multiple illegals keep crossing our boarder. Multiple boarder wall bills have been denied. Multiple illegals have killed legal citizens. Multiple times Congress has ignored American citizens wanting a wall MULTIPLE TIMES THE DEMOCRATS HAVE LIED TO THE PUBLIC!

There’s an election coming just for you

How old is he?!?!?!

I bet i know why.

Trump n Russians

Hes the devils spawn

RepEscobar Block all socialist programs. I would rather everything fail in congress than socialism

McConnell is NOT serving America. Oust his old ass.

Proposals to establish voter I.D.s are being blocked by TheDemocrats. This is because Democrats want non-citizens to be able to vote, obviously for them.

With his wife now under scrutiny as Sec. of Transp., hopefully McConnell won’t have as strong of an impact the two had planned. I am not aware if McC has a strong contender, but we seriously need see him out the door as Mjrldr.

This is the face of pure evil

If this is a quiz, my guess is because he is an ______! Saying blankety blank words in my head.

This mofo needs fired. Wtf is wrong w this country? Seriously!

Bigger question is why does a democracy put so much power in the hands of one man? He has been a one man show since Obama’s first midterms.

Can we block his arteries

Because he is a complicit ahole

Why is he blocking them? Duh, because his party benefited from Russia’s interference & he has no incentive to prevent a repeat of that. HR1 would make it easier for more people to vote, which is bad for the GOP, hence its repeated efforts to suppress the vote in many states.

This demon must go...

Because he is afraid. If Trump goes down he goes down too.

This creature needs to be trapped like any other rodent and disposed of.

Does he have children or grandchildren that are human?

Lock him up

Because McConnell is being paid by Deripaska to keep Trump in and America in chaos.

Send him to jail with his master, hold him in contempt, impeached him to.

Same reason he stopped Obama from telling Americans about Russia in 2016?

$

Ummm... because senatemajldr is a Facist WhiteSupremist who just can't see past his teeny weenie?

Who’s surprised? McConnell is an arrogant emboldened trump puppet. Follow the money. DitchMitch2020 DitchMitchAndChao McConnellMustGo

Every Republican in the Senate needs to be forced to answer for this. And Republicans in the House should be demanding action!

McConnell clearly is opposed to election security because he thinks any foreign interference will benefit republicans.

senatemajldr NOT a patriot!

How and why does he have the authority to do this?

Why does he have so much power?

Mitch is doing a great job !!!

He's made $50M for doing NOTHING!!!!

We don’t need no election security.That would interfere with foreign bribe money,reaching our politicians.

hardball It’s because Russian money supports this turtle

Satan's having his last days run and his minions are at it in full swing.This mouth breather is prime example

Because .........

Bravo! That's kind of my Senator...

This 🦃look alike is a devil that’s God allow this time to be destroy as he can’t win 2020 as the good peoples of America both Gop&Dems will🗳him out as proven to them that’s he didn’t likethem as everything that Dems pass that will help dies w/him ashis wife work for StatanBoss

He knows the can only win with cheating GOP

States are sovereign, If you let the Feds take control of elections then they will lose that sovereignty. Don't give the Fed more power.

This criminal obstruction by McConnell will come back and bite him in the Ass!

Americans know that senatemajldr keeps blocking bills that benefit Americans and more so bc it’s written by democrats.Why this childishness about partisanship? You don’t want more security in our elections bc it’s the only way you can want to cheat again

It doesn't matter what he does because the Dems we elected are all talk. We need to replace the Dem leadership in 2020. They are too old to do anything.

hardball McConnell has been putting greed and power before country for many years. Kentucky will never vote him out since wife greases Kentucky with plenty of cash from her family shipping business.

As soon as Dems take out their socialist bombs attached to bills some may make it out of the Senate!! Thank you Mitch for watching out for the socialist agenda Dems are trying to slip through.

MCCONNELL IS DEPLORABLE. HE HAS NO RIGHT TO DENY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS

The question is, what else is in those bills?

So why isn’t the press putting more pressure on his blatant Russia connections and how he and his wife colluded to steer taxpayer mo eye to benefit his re-election?

He’s getting paid too 🤬💩🤡 why else !!?

senatemajldr blocking all bills coming before the senate should be stated on a daily basis

He's afraid of the true outcome. Vote the cock block out!

Do they include prosecuting illegal foreigners who try to vote in our elections? If not, it shouldn't be passed.

Vampires live!

Bigger question? Why ask us? You’re the news outlet. Investigate and come back with an answer

Be forgot Kentucky and America, thinks he works for gop and corporate and foreign payers

Oh maybe because Democrats are trying to make it legal for illegal aliens to vote. 🤔

Because he and his wife live corrupt lives. Investors will provide info for 2020 Ditch Mitch campaign!

They can’t win without cheating.

Paid off

Ummmmm....ready for the answer?

dnc get a candidate who can beat mcconnell

Thus bastard must go...😠😠

The big question is WHY?

hardball He’ll go down in History for all the wrong reasons. A big stain on his legacy. His been drinking the Kool Aide that Trump serves.

Because they're counting on foreign interference to help keep the White House. The simplest explanation is usually the most accurate.

This is a crying shame. This is the only way they can win anything

He acts in the interest of the Republican party, not the country. Very unpratriotic.

Answer: it’s obvious. He wants to keep winning.

Because he's a criminal that needs to be locked up with the rest of them

Blocking bills is what he has been doing since Obama got elected.

Here’s a list of bills passed by the house only to DIE on senatemajldr desk. DitchMitch2020

Why aren't any of the GOP Senators questioning this? They need and should be accountable to their voters. Voters need to start demanding action from their Senators

glangendorf01 Let the people vote, senatemajldr. LetUsVote!!

hardball Have Nancy MacLean on your show! DemocracyInChains

We are living under a triune dictatorship; every branch of government is headed by an authoritarian who acts with contempt for the law, for his oath, and for our Republic.

Well this too shall pass , he's old decrepit & karma will bight hard . Harder & mean!

hardball Check his private bank account for all those funds transferred from the offshore banks in the Cayman’s and Cyprus.

Because he must win even if he cheats

Call him by his real name, Bialzabub

We won’t forget how dirty the GOP is, and how ruthless they’ve been. Kick them out of office by any means necessary.

When will the Kentucky electorate rise up, and toss him out on his keister?

This is not democracy rules need to change so when one chamber passes a bill the other one should have to have a vote on it. That’s how things pass or fail not one person deciding what comes to the floor.

The news needs to examine these bills and talk about this EVERY SINGLE DAY until he allows votes. It sure appears he wants Russia to be able to impact 2020.

Probably because he's a corrupt deep state puppet

So can we officially call him MoscowMitch now?

Do any of them require proof of citizenship to vote ? Of course not they are Democrat sponsored.

senatemajldr SecElaineChao Traitors AbuseOfPower

It is his way of making sure that Trump is not elected again. It is his way of ensuring that Trump won’t be able to complain about the election results. It is his way of gaining back control of the Republican Party. The evil run deep.

He's a spy!!!

There is plenty, he has to hide.

FakeNews at it again. The only bills being blocked are those giving illegal immigrants rights they don’t deserve. But don’t let the FACTS get in the way of your LIES

He is a dangerous man. Even if you are a supporter, don't you worry when he goes against something you care about in this unfair way? I am a Republican, but this isn't right.

Trump just uttered his newfound expression “oppo research” while (OMG) pausing between the words- how impressive! Miller must have given Trump this info pitch this morning to use to justify his stupid comments! Trump looked so proud saying something that made bigly sense.

Republicans can’t continue winning if election securities are enacted & Mitch knows this ! The GOP Mantra of “Party politics before country” must be obeyed !

And Democrats are whining ad usual..

Just send him back to Kentucky and have them shape him up.

Federalists Society

Corrupt traitor Mitch McConnell. Say it out loud! Traitor Mitch belongs in prison along with Paul Ryan, devin nunes and the entire trump regime

I’m sure if Congress were ever investigated as a whole we wouldn’t be shocked of the outcome!

$$$$$$

Is this a wall or McConnell?

hardball Why is obvious. We all must support his opponent, and gain control. Democrats2020💙🇺🇸

Russian Money

His place in HELL is secure!!

The other Republican Senators are not objecting. Why can't they tell him he is unfit to be their leader, if he doesn't allow them to voice their concerns.

Why senatemajldr could it be RussiaRussiaRussia FollowTheMoney DitchMITCH

Ask why

This guy has no decency? This is outrageous.

ALL THE REPUBLI-CON TRAITORS ARE ON THE TAKE FROM PRETTY BOY PUTIN.!! RUSSIAN ROT RUNS DEEP. DESTROY AMERICA - 1.!!

Asking it is answering it

Senator McConnell wants Russia to hack the 2020 Elections to help the Republican Party.

terrylb89 In 2016 we did not have a free and fair election. And that's the way senatemajldr likes it. Nothing matters to him but power

Why are Dems blocking voter ID bills ?

He needs to go. Let’s vote him out of office in 2020

Vote him out he’s old and needs GONE

He knows TRUMP can't win without help.

senatemajldr Traitor is the answer to Why?

hardball The McConnell crime family in competition with the Trump crime family?

He is probably putting Russian money into his pockets, also. That NRA mess was never fully revealed. All of the Republicans traveled to Russia and came back with different attitudes. Money takes precedence over what they do. The people mean nothing. They are all rich.

TRAITOR

Mitch McConnell the Heart of Darkness

He is unethical that's why he keeps blocking bill's that would strengthen our election system.

He needs to be impeached

not surprised the only people that Mitch McConnell care about are his rich donor friends do you really think Mitch McConnell gives to schitts about the average Republican in his district voting for him no he only cares for them to keep him in office

What a low life cheat. MitchSoCorrupt

mitch is hoping Russia can use its tools to suppress the vote and hes not even trying to hide that

Guess McConnell is okay with foreign interference. This guy needs to go.

Excuse me Kentucky AMERICA has a problem! it’s your man Mitch FKG McConnell senatemajldr courierjournal heraldleader LEX18_Michael

A better question would be how did a complete partisan obstructionist ever get placed in such a position of power. He has done nothing but abuse his position since he got it.

Election fraud is the only way the GOP wins.

He is detrimental to our democracy

I feel like a better question is, why does this personification of corruption still have the title Senator in front of his name?

He should block all their Muslim terrorist sanctuary city illegal alien DACA BS. All bills they present should be blocked until they start working for America and cooperating with Potus.

These guys don't want security in elections, for crumbs sake. How the heck could they win? That would just mess the whole crooked system up.

So ask yourself why any politician would not want a safe and secure election system. If you can't win fairly, you have to cheat. It's that simple!

Senator McConnell is a part of America that fears governing by Blacks; they have to manipulate the process by any means necessary.

senatemajldr nytimes AP craigmelvin AliVelshi CNN realDonaldTrump What kind of COUNTRY do we now live in when the Senate Majority Leader blocks all bills pertaining 2 LAW & ORDER & we have a CRIMINAL President whose RAP SHEET that would make common criminals look innocent

Vote Mitch McConnell out of office

Did you bother to read any of these 'election' bills? Let's see if you can figure out why.

Lol. While California and New York are issuing drivers licenses enabling them to vote. Can liberals ever tell the truth?

Corrupt to the core

He needs to be removed for dereliction of duty.

Kentucky, explain this dude, please.

🤔wondering why this guy isn’t as big of a target as the president. He is as big of a problem as trump. Won’t do any good to only get the whitehouse and not change the senate

Time for you to go home and sit down no need to think about re-election you have served your time you are done

Rehtorical right?

Mitch McConnell is the biggest problem in government right now. Voting him out will be a big step in making things right again.

bc the voting machine companies are paying him

TheTreasonParty

Ryn0ceros 🤔

Because he’s an evil cockwobble?

Good we don’t want TheDemocrats socialism infanticide illegals over Americans crap

lilacsangel senatemajldr why don’t you want to secure our elections? Afraid your hero would lose if you did? Republicans can’t win if they don’t cheat.

Yeah Mitch blocks just about everything that makes sense fair elections are not in the best interest of the GOP

Reports say McConnell has received lobbyist funding from Election Systems & Software abs Dominion Voting Systems, who combine to provide 80% of the nation’s voting machines. Do the math!

Mcconnell clearly doesn’t care about any other generation but his own

Simply said, the GOP REPUKES cannot win elections on their policies so they must cheat any way they can. McConnell enables this cheating.

These guys try anything to take/keep power. The light from the end of the tunnel, however, is barreling down on you. Best step aside, or get run over,.

He is basically evil. Not too bright. And morally corrupt.

I hear Turtle Soup is on the menu for the Kentucky Senate Election....he's behind in the polls in KY...he needs to cheat to win....

Lock him up

A few possible reasons, none of them good. Kentucky voters need to make this right and DitchMitch.

The wall is being blocked by libs. What's your point?

He hasnt put quite enough money in his pockets yet! The whole Lot needs to burn in Hell! At all cost we must get rid of him!! And his wife!!

So it appears there’s a conspiracy between McLiar and Fat Donny to block legislation to keep elections free and fair; modern fascism continues to loom on our horizon as a result

So he can have something to throw blame to Dems !

The GOP has to cheat to win. Plain and simple.

How can this one corrupt bastard be allowed to put the entire country at risk?! Mitch McConnell belongs on trial for treason for this! Who is he protecting?

What does it mean when the GOP has been hell bent on passing laws to stop the virtually non-existent voter fraud but refuses to pass a law to stop foreign intervention in our elections? It means the GOP is UNFIT to govern our nation.

Sure, but lets really secure our elections and require valid government issued photo id.

History will not be kind to this fraud of a man.

McConnell is responsible for Trump. McConnell convinced Pres. Obama no to speak out against Trump's Russia connections, the Russians gave republicans all 3 branches of government, & McConnell has been paid off by Russians. Why would McConnell want free & fair elections now?

“Election security” bill? From the open borders Democrats?

Why!

Media.... Glad you could make it to the party! When been asking this. Why are you just now starting to go after Mitch? Better late then never!

Traitor

Corruption runs rampant in this administration

Follow the Russian money

Because Russia is investing in Kentucky

Turdle 💩Mitch McConnell

Because McConnell knows Russia will hack voting machines and change votes like they did in 2016. He is taking huge donations from voting machine manufacturers to assure that the GOP wins. And Ivanka has patents on Chinese voting machines...The fix is in.

Because he is trying to fix elections? Give me a break- because anything a democrat puts up as a bill is really stupid and cost a ton of money And quite simply don’t work!

Which of course benefits all Republicans up for re-election. DitchMitch

What is the relationship with McConnell and Harry Reid? Just curious...

Because the dem bill does not go far enough to address voter ID.

GOP the party of Traitors

Obstruction has a name Mitch McConnell

kentingley what's the big deal? how else can they 'fix' the results in 2020?

That is so Trump and McConnell can say the Democrats aren't doing anything towards election security. He is as dishonest as Trump.

Make no mistake. This man is far more dangerous to our democracy than the current sitting president. Think of what he has done in the last several years. Think of what he has blocked, who he has blocked, and what he continues to do, or not do.

Rise up America. McConnell and Trump need to go.

Ditch Mitch!

rmsylvia Mitch McConnell is one of the Russian puppets who will benefit from upcoming election

Give the details of these bogus bills

Because the Republicans are going to cheat 😡

This person is a bigger problem than Trump. He’s even more corrupt than Trump and that’s saying something.

Corrupt traitor.

Vote him out

Obstruction is 1 in the republican handbook.

WTF IS THIS PO💩TRAITOR TO AMERICANS NOT REMOVED - COURT MARTIALED LOCKED IN A CAGE OR GUANTANAMO - WTF IS HE EVEN STANDING🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

LisaJarrett6 And your wife is so busted.

Just turn him on his back.

What else is packaged with them. The Tweet, as written, would not be logical in its own.

Because:

How much is Russia paying to him? Are Kentucky voters stupid?

PeanutBrittle13 Complicit

So that another country can help the Republicans to Win they can not do it on their own

Answer, because he is a direct beneficiary of Russian meddling and he is the most corrupt Senator in Congress

In my opinion, he is a crook himself and will use shady methods, in his own re-election campaign. Law to protect our elections from foreign interference is in the best interest of the nation. Step up to the podium, order this to the floor for discussion and vote.

Why are the GOP tolerating this traitorous act? Putin pays well.

Impeach the turtle!

The turtle is working for another team.

senatemajldr the POTUS says the dems aren’t doing anything when all the white it’s really that snake McConnell blocking everything! DitchMitch2020 CongressDoYourJob

This is what happens when mob boss Trump gives Mitch's wife a job. As a true mob boss, now Mitch owes Trump and is under Trump's control. Another reason why these type of hiring should be illegal, conflict of interest. CorruptGOP

randy10307 Why ? What's his rationale?

Comrade mitch.paying Russia back for their investment in their satellite state,kentucky.

What is he trying to hide?

Help me understand this. McConnell is blocking attempts to secure our elections. Donald Trump declares that he would be open to accepting help from foreign entities. Is this the only way Republicans can win elections?

Because hes bitter,

Wouldn't it be called a crisis by now!?🧐🤔

Why?

They can’t win other GOP rip . they always have to cheat to win. Watergate , stole election from Al Gore and Hillary cheaters never prosper for to long🗽

The Russian connection extends to Kentucky. Some is public. I wonder what is hidden, perhaps via the Chinese route.

DitchMitch

Vote him out...

McConnell sucks and is anti America

DitchMitch will happen unless there is Russian election interference!

senatemajldr is corrupt af.

McConnell is too much in the pockets of Russia and NRA...its disgusting that he refuses to defend the constitution and do what is right for his constituents

Can we just please get him the hell out. Complete waste.

mujerpescado He’s a crook just like so many of them. He should be put in prison for taking Russian money as well as some others. They’re breaking our laws and getting by with it over and over.

There is no possible justification for this except he WANTS foreign interference (again).

It is imperative we prevent access to our voting systems from foreign adversaries. Unfortunately, we have McConnell killing every one of these measures. It’s the Grim Reaper continuously refusing to pass bipartisan legislation.

Yes, because the liberals added socialist attachments to sneak them through. McConnel is too smart to allow this to happen.

What the hell is wrong with this guy And where is his turtle shell?

POLITICO Playbook: Trump gives the impeachment crowd a giftTrump saying that he would accept a foreign government’s assistance in an election -- and might not report it to the FBI -- is a stunning statement that would seem out of bounds to any Playbook reader The people we spoke to Wednesday night said the president's statement is rooted in a win-at-any-and-all-costs mentality Wow. It's almost as if he's a deranged, criminal traitor. Weird. Is it really stunning? There are no boundaries for him, and at this point, why would he set any? He’s never been held accountable in any real way for his words or actions. Stunning would be actions by people charged with a responsibility to check and balance him.
