Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Wednesday had a snarky reaction to the backlash that both Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and the New York Times have faced following the publication of his “Send In the Troops” op-ed last week.
Man I don’t know where to begin with this one…
After arguing that the “American culture of free expression and open debate” is under threat during remarks on the Senate
If a tree falls. Would it please fall on him.
I’ll help you push it.
If he believes in free expression and open debate then why does the grim reaper take delight in not allowing the senate to debate bipartisan bill after bipartisan bill. Mitch McConnell is the very model of the modern hypocritical majority leader.
I’ve taken a few shots at the NYT over the years myself, but if I had only one paper to read, I’d choose the NYT over any other paper.
I’ll take the Grey Lady over the WP any day. They both have their faults.
What happens in your marriage when you’ve had an argument and resolved it and then someone decides to re-have it?
The GOP is the one who just keeps wanting to re-have the decided arguments…racism, LGBTQ rights, economic policy, war, violence against political dissidents, inequitable law enforcement, gun control, universal health care, plutocracy, corporate imperialism, etc. Polling, history, majority opinion…all of it shows they keep losing the argument…so in order to keep having it and re-having it, they have to keep moving the goal posts and giving more power to the minority who lost the argument.
How the left “silences” speech: more speech that wins the argument.
How the right silences speech: tear gas and voter suppression.
I’ll hold him down so he doesn’t move out of the way.
McConnell proceeded to tear into the Times, mentioning it has published op-eds from Russian President Vladimir Putin, the foreign minister of Iran, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and “an essay arguing for great normalization of pedophilia.”
So really, publishing Tom Cotton is just pattern and practice for the NYT.
Mitch is sounding a wee bit desperate.
“But one week ago ‘The Gray Lady’ finally met her match,” McConnell said.
And in five months, McConnell will finally meet his Wattle-loo.
(“It’s chins all the way down!”)
Lift your chin, Mitch! Both of them! Both of them!!
It now depends on who the Kentucky Dems nominate. And even then it’s a lift. Make no mistake who will win the vote on President in this state.
Note to Mitch. Don’t do humor, especially sarcasm.
It doesn’t work for you.
Um, woudn’t that make Yertle a Mock Turtle?
True to form, Mitch McConnell is manifestly disgusting.
Well the Times in their wisdom decided to publish, without any fact-checking whatsoever, an op-ed calling for a fascist takeover, mass murder of U.S. citizens (“no quarter”) and pissing all over the Constitution and international law.
And many say this is fine, in the interest of “all sides.” Fine: then start publishing Holocaust denial op-eds.
Funny how he’s got nothing to say on Trump’s fearsome AARP Antifa.
Ms. Karma, elbowing her way through the throng: “Oh, no – he’s mine!”
(Coughs on him)
