6th, many still haven t forgiven the senator for placating president trump when he started telling the big lie about the 2020 election, and refusing to impeach even after the trump supporters defiled mcconnell s beloved senate chambers. truthfully, the kentucky senators getting the cold shoulder a lot around washington these days. it wasn t always this way. during the obama years, mcconnell weaponized his republican majorities like few of the leaders in history, blocking almost every policy proposal the first vice president put forward. stonewalling his final supreme court pick. when president trump took office, it often seems as if leader mcconnell was the guy who really sat on d.c. s irene thrown, making show the matt king focused on republican priorities, like tax cuts for
