McConnell hypocritical

One has to love the hypocrisy of Sen. Mitch McConnell. Now he’s saying we all have to “get along” for the betterment of the country. Work together as a team. Don’t look back, look forward.

My advice to McConnell is pull up the last eight years on C-SPAN and view his actions. See how he “worked together” with Democrats and President Barack Obama. McConnell will reap what he sowed. His field is barren. He produced nothing. He should expect nothing in return.
