Mitch McConnell throws Capitol Police under the bus again, says they’re responsible for his unhinged colleagues
Mitch McConnell enabled the most fractious factions of the Republican Party. But now, he wants to extricate himself from their craziness.Not so fast, Moscow Mitch!On Wednesday, the senior Kentucky Republican was asked about the recent spate of violence engulfing the GOP.
And we mean that in the literal sense. In case you need a refresher: This week, ex-speaker Kevin McCarthy elbowed one of his main detractors in the back, and Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin threatened to fight a witness on the Senate floor.
For years, Republicans have turned Congress into a circus. Now, apparently they want to make it a battle royale.Have NEVER seen this on Capitol Hill: While talking to @RepTimBurchett after the GOP conference meeting, former @SpeakerMcCarthy walked by with his detail and McCarthy shoved Burchett.
Burchett lunged towards me. I thought it was a joke, it was not. And a chase ensued…Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) just tried to fight a witness at a hearing.
