Discussion: McConnell Condemns David Duke And KKK On Behalf Of Senate GOP

Discussion for article #246691

So will Tucker Carlson & Laura Ingraham be calling him out as the Left-wing bleeding heart Liberal Mitch McConnell ? … a hand wringing politically correct sissy?

After years of dog whistling? Do you seriously expect anyone to believe you are sincere?
Just b/c you no longer have control of the racists you have raised, fed and groomed in your party…
How will you and your fellow Congresspeople deal w/ the race baiters in Republican media?

Sorry McTurtle. Coming from a man that has spent the last almost 7+ years trying to delegitimize the first Black President of the United States, just doesn’t fit with his newly discovered sentiments. They may hate tRump to be their standard bearer now, but McTurtle’s hypocrisy is just too obvious for all to see. He and the KKK have a lot more in common with each other than he cares to admit.

The Republican party, the RNC and Faux News…you definitely built that. I hope it all comes crashing down at some point and crushes you like a bug in the end. Remember…tRump is what you call malleable. Good luck with that, asshole.

Poor turtle. Sees power slipping away from his grip.

While he was at it, did McConnell condemn Ronald Reagan opening his 1980 campaign in a nod to violent segregationists by kicking it off in Philadelphia, Miss.?

Did he condemn George H.W. Bush’s Willie Horton ad? Did he condemn his pal Jesse Helms racist ā€œHandsā€ ad against Harvey Gantt? Did he condemn Voter ID laws, foot-dragging on a renewal for the Voting Rights Act, or bigotry agains gay people?

Did he condemn the way his party has played footsie with racists to delegitimize a twice-elected black president with coded language … that he’s Muslim … or a Kenyan? Did he condemn withholding constitutional authority from the first black president by refusing for the first time in the republic’s history to acknowledge his right to nominate a Supreme Court justice?

I guess not.

I’d love to be able to say that, hey, if you find yourself having to publicly sate that you don’t support the KKK then you’re really in a lot of trouble. But if that sort of thing were true for the Republican party, they would have folded long ago.

I hope so. The fissures are growing. If we (and by that, I mean the people of the United States of America and, ultimately, the Republican Party itself) are very lucky, this will grow into a full-blown split. One party for conservatives, and another for white supremacists.

Gotta give him credit for not rolling out the tired crap about the KKK being some lefty progressive Democrat operation. But other than that…
