Move, Mitch. Get out the way. Get out the way, Mitch. Get out the way.
These days, Sen. Mitch McConnell seems to be occupying a political no-man’s-land. His refusal to cede power — namely,— to younger, more extreme lawmakers has made him a pariah to some conservatives. On the other hand, his constant obstruction, his machinations to tilt federal courts in Republicans’ favor, and his complicity in Donald Trump’s lawlessness has led many proponents of democracy to denounce him, regardless of party.
On Tuesday, McConnell got a taste of the public derision he can expect in ample doses once he leaves office. At a ceremony to honor police who responded to the violence on Jan. 6, 2021, several officers as well as the family of fallen officer Brian Sicknick refused handshakes from McConnell and fellow Republican Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader.
