Our goal tonight was to make it very clear what @LeaderMcConnell and the rest of the @SenateGOP are doing: they are gambling with your Social Security, Medicare, military pay and the economy JUST SO THEY CAN RUN ADS IN 2022
Claiming ONLY DEMOCRATS built up a $30 trillion debt.

They know, just like YOU KNOW, that the two parties TOGETHER, over hell, DECADES, spent that money. But they want to run 2022 campaign attack ads led by ex corporate Medicare Fraud co CEO @SenRickScott’s RSCC PRETENDING that Dems are spending $30 trillion on Build Back Better.
It’s a cynical and dangerous game that they’re not just playing with the economy and your livelihood — they’re also playing with their own fortunes. Mitt Romney, the richest Senator, is worth about $250 million. Mitch at #9 is worth around $34 million. Is that why they blinked?🤷🏾♀️
Rick Scott is #3 at around $220 million. Did their accountants call? Maybe those CEOs showing up at 1600 spooked them. Who knows! We do know that Mitch feared that staring into the economic abyss might make Manchin & Sinema finally give up the precious filibuster to prevent Hell.
But the bottom line is: Mitch McConnell has ZERO credibility as a political leader. None of these Republican Senators has a conscience. The Democrats are guilty of frequent weakness. But they’ve never put a gun to the economy’s head, and certainly not just to run some damned ads.
