Crucial Supporter of Russian Ratfucking Dislikes Being Accurately Described As Russian Asset
By 
Apparently, somewhere in D.C. there’s a whaaaaaambulance missing:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday defended his decision to block an election security bill and lashed out at critics who suggested he was helping Russia, accusing them of engaging in “modern-day McCarthyism” to “smear” his record.
“The outrage industrial complex doesn’t let a little thing like reality get in their way,” said McConnell (R-Ky.) in a nearly 30-minute speech on the Senate floor. “They saw the perfect opportunity to distort and tell lies and fuel the flames of partisan hatred, and so they did.”
McConnell was responding primarily to an opinion column by The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, published Friday under the headline “Mitch McConnell is a Russian asset.” Milbank described how Republicans, including McConnell, had blocked bills designed to counter cyberattacks, by Russians or other foreign agents, against U.S. elections.
Also Mitch McConnell:
Former Vice President Joe Biden says he and President Barack Obama decided not to speak out publicly on Russian interference during the 2016 campaign after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to sign a bipartisan statement condemning the Kremlin’s role.
The reason Moscow Mitch is upset about the charges is that they’re accurate. He has been very consistent about opposing efforts to stop Russian ratfucking because he supports it as long as it helps his party.
