Did he steal a SCOTUS seat and get major tax benefits for millionaires? Yes.
But aside from that, Mitch McConnell has actually been quite a failure at his biggest goals.

He failed at making Obama a 1-term president:
2010: npr.org/sections/itsal…
He failed to stop Obamacare from passing,

healthreformvotes.org/congress/300072
and he failed, REPEATEDLY, to repeal Obamacare.
2017:

2018:

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Yeah that was a fail.
2019:

cnbc.com/2019/04/02/mit…
Even after he stole a SCOTUS seat, he still failed at his goal of gutting the ACA via the courts.
Nov 2020:

He failed at preventing his members from fomenting The Big Lie that the election was illegitimate, and thereby his members are *complicit* in the incitement of a violent insurrection.
Dec 2020:
huffpost.com/entry/mcconnel…
He failed at holding on to his power as Majority Leader.
Sure, his allies blame Trump.

Why is McConnell at fault too? Because he allowed the GOP Senators to run using their culture of white grievance and anti Semitism.
He didn’t make them stop. Public outcry and public shaming is what made Perdue slink away from dirty tactics like:
Jul 2020
forward.com/news/451581/jo…
McConnell didn’t take Loeffler to the woodshed for gross, tired tactics like: salon.com/2021/01/04/kel…
McConnell let Lindsey Graham get away with using that dirty old playbook too.
Jul 2020:
cnn.com/2020/07/28/pol…
By stealing a SCOTUS seat and obstructing all of Obama’s judicial picks, Mitch McConnell is going to fail at keeping the filibuster, too.
He spent over 10 years sowing shit.
Now?
He gets to eat shit.

Hope someone challenges Jeffrey Clark’s bar license, and soon.

Trump and Justice Dept. Lawyer Said to Have Plotted to Oust Acting Attorney General nytimes.com/2021/01/22/us/…
This is a very, very oddly stated quote imo.
“All my official communications were consistent with law.”
Really? Which law?
Wouldn’t normal people say consistent with “the law”
Also: specifying official communications? So does that mean unofficial communications were *not*?
Whhhoooooo
“they were unaware that Mr. Clark had been introduced to Mr. Trump by a Pennsylvania politician”

This is tragic. How awful for his wife, kids & everyone who loves him.
The timeline is important here.
Letlow announced covid+ test on Dec 18, 2020.
Was admitted to hospital Dec 19, “out of abundance of caution”
Transferred to a different hospital, into ICU Dec 23.
Died today
1/3
When/where was he infected?
This article from Dec 9, 2020 said “Letlow is planning to travel to Washington, D.C. this week with his wife, Julia, to attend the White House Christmas Party.”
Did they go?

 web.archive.org/web/2020123003…
If they did go to the WH, did this 41 year old dad die because Donald Trump, whose life was saved by a miracle drug that basically no one else has access to, insisted on inviting new GOP Congressmembers to maskless Christmas parties in the midst of a pandemic?
