Kentucky letter writer calls out Senator Mitch McConnell

Letter to the editor ~ echo published in the Kentucky newspaper, the Lexington Herald-Leader

Senator Mitch McConnell is rightly criticized by his Kentucky constituent who called our the power move hypocrisy in the Supreme Court nomination process

Kentucky Senator McConnell was shameful about his hypocrisy regarding the Brett Kavanaugh nomination

Before bragging that he would “plow through,” did Senator Mitch McConnell overlook the parallel violent image of that deadly car plowing through the crowd at Charlottesville or the aggressive violence of a sexual bully?

McConnell’s shameful choice of strategy describes Republicans’ power grab and abdication of their responsibility to investigate and elevate only the best citizens to our Supreme Court. 

As Senator Charles Grassley frantically rushed to ram Brett Kavanaugh onto the high court, new bombshell allegations against Kavanaugh suddenly halted Republicans’ fast-action confirmation.

Why should we be shocked about McConnell’s latest tactics and brazen arrogance after he previously stole a court seat? This time, McConnell planned to plow-through Kavanaugh’s accusers, cover up the truth, and steal a second court seat. 

This is a darkened era in America when power-obsessed McConnell gets away with ripping apart the fabric of democracy and decency, while congressional Republicans remain silently complicit.
