McConnell rips into MTG!

Oh my god I love to see Republicans fighting!

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/536850-mcconnell-says-taylor-greene-a-cancer-to-gop-country?rnd=1612224945

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blasted Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” as a “cancer for the Republican Party.”

“Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” McConnell said in a statement first shared with The Hill.

Mitch is mostly concerned about power and money for his sake and his crowd. The nuts have driven voters away and put Mitch out of power. Taking him out of power means he can't use Government to make changes which help his toxically rich cronies. All he can do is bitch at the Qwazy. Mitch bitch'n is music to my ears.

He doesn't have any say as to her being censured or expelled.
That's McCarthy's job. Not that he'll do anything.

Having said that, I am glad to see he is speaking out against this radicalization. He needs to speak out against the other looney toon dipshit opportunists too: Cruz, Harley, Gohmert, Getz, Boebort, and McCarthy.

Just saying...its so damned obvious....when these Putin stooges say something rational, we get excited.

I get it. Before you pounce on me, rake a deep breath. A bit of cynicism and sarcasm there....but a lot of other -isms too.
