Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday agreed to allow a short-term debt ceiling extension.
The debt limit will be increased into December.
“The unified Democratic government had two and a half months to address the debt limit through reconciliation. Instead, they drifted to the doorstep of yet another self-created crisis,” McConnell said in a statement on Wednesday.
“To protect the American people from a near-term Democrat-created crisis, we will also allow Democrats to use normal procedures to pass an emergency debt limit extension at a fixed dollar amount to cover current spending levels into December. This will moot Democrats’ excuses about the time crunch they created and give the unified Democratic government more than enough time to pass standalone debt limit legislation through reconciliation.”

What a sorry backstabber! Pathetic! Can't wait for Trump's statement on this spineless critter.

Uh, no. McConnell is actually protecting the Democrats from the American people.

Kentucky has one fabulous senator, and one pathetic deep-stater.

Never expect the GOP to hold their ground. You won’t be disappointed.

McConnell doesn’t get played, he is simply submissive. A fainting goat has more fight in it than McConnell.
The only fight McConnell has ever shown is when a conservative is attempting to run for a Senate seat or there is a conservative in the WH and even then he is just demonstrating how submissive he is to the Commie-Rat party.
To: White Lives Matter
McConnell has all the fight of a limp dick.

McConnell wants it as much as the Rats do, he’s just playing his role.
