(10,078 posts)His kids are probably enlightened because they were raised by their mother. McConnell could only pass along information on how to screw people.

It's amazing she was ever married to the turtle.

(5,042 posts)How does a relationship like that happen?
It explains how Mitch hates women. She must have embarrassed him in every political debate they could possibly have.

(89,269 posts)even when he marched for civil rights he probably wasn't a liberal.

(81,485 posts)No kidding. I can't even stand to listen to him. Knowing the theft and fraud he committed, the gloating he's doing now, makes me wonder if there is any justice to be had.
I think that's what bothers me the most about this whole sordid era. There are no consequences. It seems like one long endless get-away-with-it derby. I wonder what will be left after this is over.

(1,148 posts)I don't know who they're directing their misogyny to, but many Republicans have liberal family members - especially daughters - in addition to having sexual assault survivors in their family. He offended his own daughter with his attitude. They must have been talking to a hard-core base where liberal / Dem family members are excommunicated. Which ought to be nowhere near a majority.

(51,627 posts)"WASHINGTONIn a stunning disclosure this week, congressional sources revealed that the acrimonious gridlock in the U.S. Senate traces its origins to a single November evening in 1986, when Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) engaged in sexual intercourse with Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) then-wife, Sherrill."
"It's been the elephant in the room for decades, and frankly, neither senator is willing to just man up and bury the hatchet," Binder added. "Unfortunately, our democracy continues to suffer the consequences."
"Congressional insiders, who confirmed they were glad to finally have all the tension out in the open, said the rift began when the newly elected Reid met McConnell's wife at a Capitol Hill cocktail party shortly after the 1986 midterms, an encounter that eventually led the pair to a rented room at the Watergate Hotel for an intimate midnight rendezvous."
