Who is Mitch McConnell? Narrated by Jon Lovett from Pod Save America | NowThis
Mitch McConnell did everything he could to stonewall Obamacare, even though government health care once saved his life. Jon Lovett from Pod Saves America explains how the longest-serving GOP leader in Senate history went from Kentucky's least believable frat boy to America's Super PAC darling.

Mitch McConnell has called himself the Grim Reaper of progressive policies and has a long list of terrible assaults on our democracy, including the following:
- Blocking President Obama from taking action to prevent Russia from colluding in the 2016 election.
- Denying President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, a confirmation vote.
- Abusing the Nuclear Option to ram through Trump's judicial nominees, shifting the courts more to the right.
- Denying the full release of the Mueller Report.
- Pushing through the GOP tax plan that's nothing but a big tax giveaway to the rich (which is the reason why you likely either owe the IRS a lot of money or you're barely getting a tax return this year).

I never really heard of him until I read about him blocking Obama's nominee, but after reading about all he's done, it makes me feel that nothing can be done with the state of politics in America and that I should move to another country.
It’s 9/18/2020, and it was just announced that RBG passed away. What a tragic, terrifying situation 😣
This still and probably will always fill me with so much anger. Just thinking about how Mitch mcconnell blocked Obama for 10 months and then turned around and shoved in one of the most disgusting human beings and another gross conservative and to the Supreme Court fills me with rage.
