Sen. Mitch McConnell Defends Migration Bill Fiasco
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 02/07/2024 1:59:23 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is blaming Republican senators for the creation and immediate collapse of the pro-migration bill that he secretly drafted with Democrat leaders.

“The reason we’ve been talking about the border is because they [GOP Senators] wanted to,” he told Politico, adding, “The reason we ended up where we are is the members decided, since it was never going to become law, they didn’t want to deal with it … I don’t know who is at fault here, in terms of trying to cast public blame.”

In reality, McConnell sent Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) to develop a migration plan that would help McConnell win more funding for the war against Russia in eastern Ukraine. This Ukraine-centered policy left Lankford without political support — or even expertise — in the negotiating room with a united bloc of Democrat immigration lawyers and investor-backed political operatives.

“He needs to step down as leader”

Never happen...at least not voluntarily.

He’s one that will either fall out or become physically or mentally incapacitated.

.....a migration plan that would help McConnell win more funding for the war against Russia in eastern Ukraine.

A 'plan' that would spend THREE TIMES more wasted money on Ukraine than for our Border, PLUS 8500 a day's worth of illegal invading slags. Disgraceful.

Turtle is truly senile if he thinks attacking his own members for his mistake is not going to blow up in his face. McConnell see to be booted from leadership.

“I don’t know who is at fault here.” Hey Mitch, don’t they call you some kind of “Leader” or something? I wonder when he will realize, he’s through. Time to spend more time with the family.

The level of failure by these two is stunning. The American people are angry as hell about our country being invaded, the Republicans have the wind at their back. Yet they wasted that political capital on this amnesty bill, that actually prioritizes the entrance of terrorists into our country, because the only people that count toward the 5000 threshold are people from contiguous countries.
