The McConnell Mystery:
Mitch McConnell, the Senate’s very own George Washington, minus the wooden teeth but with apparently just as many old-timey ideas, is blocking the SAVE Act from reaching a vote. Back in his day, he was head honcho of the Senate Republican Conference for 17 whole years. Now, apparently he thinks blocking an act supported by over 80% of Americans is a good way to spend retirement.
What’s the SAVE Act Anyway?
The SAVE Act is that thing most people assumed we already had—a requirement to show ID before voting. Novel idea, right? Except, that’s too straightforward or something, since McConnell’s handlers decided stopping the act dead in its tracks was a brilliant political move. Some critics say the system is broken; apparently, it forgot to keep McConnell up to speed.
The Kentucky Conundrum:
Mitch hails from Kentucky, where they apparently specialize in bourbon and blocking popular legislation. Despite his ancient age, he manages to maintain a burning dislike for Trump, a trait shared with his team of handlers who seem keen on ensuring fair elections remain a distant fantasy. Our friend, Rep. Tim Burchett, is convinced McConnell’s handlers are more into power plays than democracy. How groundbreaking.
Rep. Tim Burchett’s Revelation:
Rep. Tim Burchett spilled the beans, stating that McConnell’s bigwig handlers and donors aren’t fans of voter IDs, suggesting Mitch is dancing to their tune. It’s always refreshing to hear our leaders prioritize the desires of a select few over the overwhelming majority. You’d think after 17 years of leadership, Mitch might try something new, like listening to voters. But old habits die hard.
