Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sharply criticized Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate at large over the Kentucky Republican’s prolonged absence from Congress due to health issues.
Beshear, a Democrat, said on Friday that he still had little information about the condition of McConnell, who was hospitalized in mid-June and released from a rehabilitation center earlier this month.
“I’ve received absolutely nothing, and that’s the same that the people of Kentucky have received,” Beshear told MS Now. “This is why the Senate feels broken. These guys don’t think that they have a boss when the people of Kentucky are their boss. They don’t feel like they are accountable whatsoever.”
Beshear called on McConnell to make a video or call into a news show to update the public about his health.
There’s a lot of accounts that are going to show up and will just keep saying Democrats are useless.
You won’t be able to use facts or logic to convince them otherwise, because they’re just trying to depress Dem turnout months before a very important midterm election
Bingo.
Hahahaha. You’re fucking kidding me. First off, check my tenure and post history here. Second off, I’m very much a “vote blue no matter who, during the general” and a very liberal person. The governor of Kentucky is rolling over and being useless when he should be standing up to what’s going on. Should people vote less? Hell no, I honestly believe voting should be mandatory and that everyone is registered automatically the moment they turn 18. But none of that precludes me from criticizing who is in office.
