This didn’t age well. The author should have known better. I did. The minute these stories surfaced, I thought “this does not sound like something McConnell would say or do. Where did they get this?”
And sure enough, it was the damned New York Times with another one of its patented “no sources, no quotes” Narrative Eruptions. How many times are we supposed to fall for this before we ‘get it’ that the NYT makes up total crap and “reports” it as a news story?
