Could there possibly big a bigger hypocrite than Mitch McConnell?

1. Holds a meeting to block everything President Obama will do on his inauguration day in 2009, then blames Democrats for not "working with' Republicans when Trump is elected.

2. After uncontitutionally blocking Marrick Garland to the Supreme Court, he warned Democrats not to "obstruct" Trump judicial nominees.

Says NOTHING about Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich, Dan Burton, David Vitters, and 100 other GOP sexual harassers and mail lapses, but now wants a full probe of Al Franken's actions when he wasn't even in the Senate!

Seriously, I want to rage at this vile, soulless, compassless, asshole!

....Now, the liberals are screaming at liberals.. ...For example: Did he do it ? Should he resign, Is the photo real?
Let's hold a hearing??...etc. etc. etc. etc..

This is exactly what the Republicans want....

.......A. Equalize the situation..ok we do it, but they do too.
.......B. Take away the focus on Alabama and put the focus somewhere else.
.......C. Let's have an investigation of the .."sitting Senator from Minnesota.
.......D Franken is guilty, Just like Moore is guilty..
.......E The situations are exactly the same..(but they are not)

the purpose of all of this is to take the focus off of Moore, and put it on Franken...a Democrat. and equalize it...

Then, if Franken remains a Senator, shouldn't Moore be a senator too?..they are the same you know..
even though it is different. .

Eliot..you hit the grand slam homerun. Please set up a discussion on this one observation alone. Thank You for your observation and your post...K and R

McConnell is a hypocrite though. He was instrumental for removing Sen Bob Packwood from office. Moore is hardly different.
