Azzhole. Showed himself to be a small man

[Williams]

Why would Mitch McConnell in particular be the deciding factor on this man’s brother’s benefits? Sounds unlikely.

[Destroyer Sailor]

I say the man is beyond contempt. It was a time of grace and respect for the congressman instead that did not happen. Petty hate soiled this mans soul.

[LibWhacker]

BS, did it for the publicity.

[Jane Long]

Likely another looney lib staged event.

[Deaf Smith]

Pallbearer shaking hands with attendees...

Is this a new thing?

Do they also High Five?

Fist Bump?

He must skip this part of the prayer Jesus tells us to pray, “And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.” If we do notforgive, God will not forgive us.

[fatima]

I respect his decision.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yup. BS’er. The woods are full of entitled a-holes like this Rankin punk..

“I couldn’t do it”, “I’d rather be celebrated by the media.!!!!!!!!!!”

[Jeff Chandler]

I don’t believe him. This sounds like a made up story to cover his Obama after allowing his partisan politics to mar the occasion.

[John S Mosby]

Had no idea that McConnell conducted all the benefit eligibility hearings. Also— no idea that “contaminated water” back how many years.... is the CAUSE of an individual’s later in life cancer. Honestly.

Understand looking for coverage of the medical bills-which illness has to be service connected (the injury or illness as a result of military service, active duty). Not everyone qualifies for the coverage— and it is stupid beyond belief that someone would center on McConnell for a specific case of== bad water then.... cancer now—— “it’s all his fault” my brother died.

[pacificus]

Racist!

[fatima]

Forget the media,if I asked him for help and he turned me down and my Brother died,I would not shake his hand.

Or maybe he asked Cummings to ask McConnell but Cummings never asked McConnell. Remember Cummings vowed to fix Baltimore after the Freddie Grey riots but never got around to it?

Who knows what really happened.

All that hand shaking and ring kisses reminds me of this scene from “CarWash”

Are they putting a urinal directly over Cummings’ grave to spar the surrounding deceaseds final resting places?

[tallyhoe]

He’s a DB!
