McConnell: 'Presidential harassment' may not be a good strategy for House Democrats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., openly questioned Wednesday whether the House Democrats' strategy of "presidential harassment" will work for them as they are set to retake the majority in January.

McConnell argued that he does not believe a push by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to obtain the president's tax returns or other moves, including impeachment, will go over well for them politically, as the Republicans have learned in the past.

"The whole issue of presidential harassment is interesting," McConnell said at a Wednesday press conference, pointing to GOP efforts to impeach former President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, noting that it backfired.

"The Democrats in the House will have to decide just how much presidential harassment they think is good strategy," McConnell said. "I'm not so sure it will work for them."

Oh shut the fuck up McTurdhole.

1. Four words: go fuck yourself Mitch.

[smirkymonkey]

2. Burn in hell, Mitch.

Do you really think we are going to play nice after the way you treated Obama during his tenure?

[dubyadiprecession]

3. Worry about yourself "cocaine mitch"!

We will treat him like the republican house treated Bill Clinton back in the 90’s!

[lagomorph777]

4. Hmm, looks to me like it's been a great strategy.

Sorry Turtle.

5. "The whole issue of presidential harrassment is interesting."

He ought to know. He specialized in it.

I hate this man with the heat of 10,000 white hot suns.

[MontanaMama]

6. Sorry Turtle. You ain't seen nothing yet.

We're coming for you in 2020.

[Initech]

7. Oh Mitch, we're just getting started!

Because when Trump goes, you're going down with him! This isn't harassment as we are going to expose your crimes. So strap in! Oh and fuck you and fuck Trump!

[logosoco]

8. Kinda sounds to me like Mitch knows they are going to find something.

And I would like to hear the Senate Majority Leader speak out on how the president is harassing the press!

I hope to see an end to this "how much money you have means the Constitution has less meaning" era. I am pretty sure when I studied the Constitution in college I saw one of the roles of Congress is supposed to be a check on the Executive office. If there is suspicion of crimes (and how many tRump folks have been convicted or indicted already?) Congress most certainly needs to step up investigations!

[gratuitous]

9. Your concern is duly noted

You anti-American turtle-faced motherfucker.

[In It to Win It]

10. Shutting the fuck up is a good strategy for republicans

[Freethinker65]

11. Call everything Trump does "unPresidential harassing"

Harassing of the media, women, immigrants, minorities, his political opposition, our American allies.

Turn the talking point around and use it on Mitch, Trump, and the GOP.

BE BEST with constitutional checks and balances.

[duforsure]

12. Coming from the guy and his wife

Who could become exposed for lots of corruption soon, and indicted. LOL!

[MyNameIsKhan]

13. Donot try to get your doggy bag thrown away again...

[MrGrieves]

14. I'm sorry for the profanity

But fuck this fucking motherfucker!

He knows full well how douchey this statement is.

Don't harass the president? Ok we will put the fuzzy handcuffs on him to not hurt his delicate wrists. In fact maybe we can get story to put them on him!

[bdamomma]

15. I only wish

term limits for this POS McConnell were enacted. He needs to go. POS he is. He is NO GOOD and rotten to the core.

[Blue_true]

16. Someone need to explain the difference between harassment and oversight to that asshole.

Republicans continued investigations even when it was clear that there was nothing wrong done by the democrats, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, countless others. Requesting Trump's tax returns to determine whether he is potentially under the financial control of foreign governments is OVERSIGHT, valid oversight.

[Garrett78]

17. Clinton lied about having an affair. Trump is a criminal traitor and kidnapper of children. Hmmm.

[blitzen]

18. Well, at least he's calling out Trump for abusing the press. What? Oh..., never mind n/t

[MurrayDelph]

19. Typical Mitch

Don't you dare to any of the shit we did.

[pecosbob]

20. Look to yourself

we'll be coming for all friends of the Kremlin...

[delisen]

21. McConnell is trying to frame Constitutional Responsibility as Harassment

Pelosi correctly framed the issue before us.

The Democrats in Congress will not behave like the Republicans of th 1990s although many will attempt to goad them into it.

We can help by staying calm and following her lead and her language.

We are in a position to provide the country with a living history lesson in representative and civic responsibility in a Democratic Republic

[Rizen]

22. After all he and the human garbage party did

to harass Obama he has the never to bring up harassment?

[crazycatlady]

23. Oh but it was for Senate Republicans from 2009-2017

[ck4829]

24. Sure
