One evaluation of Mitch McConnell. And yet his autocratic single focus to increase his personal power and the GOP is powerful as a speeding bullet. Behind all that blandness is so much menace and racism distilled the night of our first Black President\u2019s inauguration. His promised obstruction. Since Biden is white, McConnell must shift his label to \u2018socialist\u2019 only because \u2018communist\u2019 is outmoded. He represents how the old guard, the southern patriarchy still wants to run the plantation with supremacist power. Witness how he blocked the January 6th investigation. May voters reject this malevolent power-grabbing hypocrisy that pretends to want to save democracy yet supports insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- \/divi:paragraph -->[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Opinion MITCH&#8217;S mINI MOMENT https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/10\/06\/opinion\/mcconnell-debt-ceiling-vote.html Louisa Gallas | Michigan \u201cThe emotional range of a coatrack\u201d.
