Mitch McConnell’s office later confirmed that wasn’t accurate since McConnell himself told reporters just last month that he and Biden had spoken about issues in Myanmar, the budget process and the coronavirus relief bill. #velshi

McConnell, seeming to want to score some points said: “there has been no effort whatsoever by the president or the administration to do anything in the political center." #velshi

The “political center”. That’s an amazing statement from Mitch McConnell, whom I’m not sure could navigate himself to the center of a Tootsie Pop, let alone the political center. McConnell maybe confusing doing things his way with the word “bipartisanship”. #velshi

Joe Biden has been in office for 66 days. The paint in the Oval is still drying so there are no patterns of behavior to speak of yet. The so-far brief momentum from the White House to work together, has probably been greater the last 2 months than the last 4 years. #velshi

Biden hosted Republicans to discuss the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus plan. A plan for which numerous polls showed broad bipartisan support before and after it was passed. A plan for which not a single republican voted. #velshi

There’s probably a lot more the Biden administration can, will and should do, but the literal last person to speak about a lack of bipartisanship is Mitch McConnell. #velshi

McConnell could have worked hard to achieve things with President Obama during a recession recovery but instead said quote: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” #velshi

McConnell seems to forget that 81.2M Americans voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Pres. Biden proved his ability to get his message out to the country and the country responded, with the highest vote-count ever received by a presidential candidate. #velshi

While the country is deeply divided, a majority elected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, a fact that Mitch McConnell refused to even acknowledge for SIX WEEKS after the election ended. #velshi

There are a lot of important issues America needs to work on including infrastructure, the economy, our global relationships and getting the country closer to normal after a brutal pandemic. #velshi

Biden’s 5 decade's long track record in politics suggests that bipartisan efforts will be used to get us there. So McConnell, rather than whine about things only 2 months in, how about setting an example for your party & live up to your title as minority “LEADER.” #velshi
