"Majority leader McConnell cited Civil Rights legislation yesterday, as well he should because he was alive to witness the harassment, jailing, and betrayal of those responsible for that legislation by a government sworn to protect them." -Ta-Nehisi Coates pic.twitter.com/oWiksjoNca

The Treason in Defense of Slavery Party, now d/b/a ‘the GOP’, has always been good to Mitch McConnell. McConnell intends for it to last out his time, and if striving for that goal should happen to tear apart the country — or even destroy his nominal party — that would be of small matter to Mitch McConnell. He has working ties with Russia’s oligarchs, and his spousal partner has even stronger ties to the People’s Republic; whatever the damage to America, Mitch McConnell believes himself invulnerable. Has he not spent his long, profitable career acting in bad faith to every oath but that to his revanchist clan?
moments ago, @SenateMajLdr McConnell on #Reparations: "I don't want reparations for something that happened 150 years ago…we've tried to deal with the original sin of slavery by passing civil rights legislation and electing an African American president…."
