Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Sunday described Republican lawmakers who have parroted Kremlin talking points about Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine as “lonely voices” within the GOP.
Moscow Mitch says what?
That’s what Hawley & Cruz told me, anyway. They said Johnson and Rubio weren’t real Putinists.
Ferget it, Moscow, that Rusal money is gone, gone, gone.
No, Moscow Mitch. The entire Putin Pawn Party supports the Russians. As well as the overthrow of the U.S. government. And, sad to say, a major source of your dark money contributions.
Mitch says “lonely,” I say “traitorous.”
No one’s better with wedge issues than Mitch and he must see this as an effective issue to bleed support from Trump and his wing of the party. Saying Putin is good or that Ukraine and Russia are equivalent is just not going to work except with a very small minority. And people like MTG, Boebert, and other assorted crazies come from districts that’ll likely vote Republican regardless the candidate.
Nice that his “few lonely voices” statement wasn’t challenged.
Well TBF it only fell on a few lonely ears.
“There may be a few lonely voices off the side,” McConnell said. “I wouldn’t pay much attention to them.”
“And,” McConnell added, “Someone should tell those Ruskies that, when a check’s late, it’s just like not getting paid.”
Earlier this month, Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a “thug” — which echoed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spin on the Ukrainian government, which he recently described as a “band of drug addicts and neo-Nazis who have holed up in Kyiv and taken the entire Ukrainian people hostage.
My God
How can a small number of people in the Ukraine gov’t be holed up somewhere, while at the same time take a nation’s people hostage?
If this know-things says nothing else 'til election day, this should point out to voters in whichever district he runs in as he really knows nothing about anything.
GOP = Girlfriends Of Putin
The GOP was pro Russian when it counted: The First Trump Impeachment, in which Moscow McConnell guaranteed Trump’s acquittal.
How’s Deripaska’s Kenfucky aluminum plant coming along? Any jobs created yet? How’s your PAC doing, McConovich?
Mitch is nothing if not opportunistic. Now watch this drive, people.
Uh, 31 Republicans voted against it, so it’s unlikely that they would have voted for the same bill if Mitch put it up. Really, he’s just trying to cover for their unpatriotic assault on democracy in America by trying to make it sound like just a few of his party’s members are against democracy in another nation. It’s all about trying to hold power, and taking Biden down…really, that’s the entire thing, and if it requires them to get into bed with Putin they will do it (and have), and then try to cover it up so no one realizes.
I really, really hope the Republicans continue to act out like this, their extreme positions will only drive independents away from them, and eventually their cheating of the voting system won’t protect them from losing.
A few lonely voices here in the states, that’s just all it is.
The deaths caused by Putin in Ukraine can be linked to the actions of Moscow McConnell, who could not waver from the Party Line long enough to bring the U.S. Senate in line to seek an objective application of the rule of law for a lawless POTUS.
Something that the 1970s GOP was capable of doing.
Many people are saying lots of GQP’ers hear many looney voices in their heads. Mostly of the “kill, kill, kill” variety. That’s why they’re lonely.
