how about because he is a treasonous scumbag who helped facilitate the theft of the presidency, not to mention a supreme court seat, and who continues to support this illegitimate administration's fascist agenda?

Mitch McConnell has said “one of my proudest moments” was looking Obama in the eye and telling him he would deny him a Supreme Court seat.
