Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is starting the new year making very clear whose side he is on–and it is not Republican voters. After betraying the incoming GOP House majority by negotiating a $1.7 trillion omnibus funding bill in the lame duck Congress last month to deny House Republicans the chance to control federal spending this year, McConnell is set to host Joe Biden in Kentucky on Wednesday at a “bipartisan” celebration of Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passed in 2021 with help from McConnell.
NBC News was first to report on the McConnell-Biden event which will highlight a $1.6 billion bridge replacement project, funded by the infrastructure bill, to replace the Brent Spence Bridge connecting Ohio and Kentucky. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) are also expected to attend the event.

November 2021, McConnell defended his support of Biden’s infrastructure bill in response to criticism by President Trump (excerpt via Business Insider):
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is doubling down on his support for the infrastructure bill despite criticism from former President Donald Trump.
Speaking to The Washington Post on November 16, McConnell reiterated his support for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, saying he was “proud” of his vote.
“I watched each of the two previous administrations struggle with the issue of how to meet the infrastructure needs of the country,” McConnell said. “I joined 18 other Senate Republicans feeling like now is the time to address it.”

The senate GOP needs to dump this guy.
What an a-hole. He just needs to switch to the Democrat party.
This hurts less for us independents.
Funny stuff right there :)
McConnell is such a POS.
I criticized him and one of the DC “conservative” thinktanks chastized me for it. Everyone in DC is in on the spending spree. Even “conservatives.”
McConnell is the poster child for the need to constitutionally reform the Senate through an Article V Convention of the State.
So he’s not even going to wait 2 days to stab us in the back ?
He’s gonna shiv us day 1 ?
Thought so, kev has got to go.
SPIT
I tire of these Republicrats.
now is the time to address it.”

No a hole.
You are making a funding decision that is rightfully the preview of the next Congress.
You guys had a full year to do the job and now you want to do it going out the door ?
Bunch of thieves the lot of you.
Usurpers
Scum
You took the leverage the next Congress rightfully were to posses to put a stop to the crap .
And threw it to the wolves.
Scumbag.
Spit
He has been figuratively waving two middle fingers at the conservative base of the party for a month or more. Does he think he can break the back of those who oppose business-as-usual republicans? Or like Obama, does he think he can carve out enough support from the few sane democrats and uninformed republicans voters to win elections?
Turtle is a tool of China.
McConnel is a flaming disaster.
He’s A DEMOCRATIC IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.
Hey Mitch... America called, she said F*** Y**, Rat!
Mitch is actually participating in a campaign rally for Biden. Treasonous prick doesn’t begin to describe this bastard
Why? They’re in on it.
You can say that again!
You had two years to do your job when Trump was elected and you failed obstructed and cheered on the collusion conspiracy theory, which is the ONLY conspiracy theory that the anals of the USG prove to be utterly false and fabricated. You were scum then and you are scum now.
In place of Obama’s Grecian columns there will be large sculptures of raised middle fingers flanking the stage.
Celebrating their undeniable ability to throw money at anything.
