McConnell: Lies from Trump Cabinet picks aren't the problem...it's really the Democrats
Asked what the Senate’s response should be when nominees say things that don’t appear to be true, McConnell belittled the complaint as a mere prop that Democrats were using to harm Trump.
“If it wasn’t that, it’d be something else,” McConnell said. “They’re manufacturing issues on a daily basis to drag this process out, and to treat this president’s initial cabinet appointments differently from the way we have treated presidents of the Democratic Party in similar circumstances.”
McConnell thought it was Democrats who needed to be justifying themselves, not the GOP, which is in charge and will be able to pass the nominees even if no Democrats vote for them.
“I don’t see how they can explain to the American people how it is appropriate to prevent the administration from getting up and getting started,” McConnell said.

Your 40 years of obstructing Democratic progress and refusal to work with the other side is what gave us Trump.
