McConnell reconsidered

For years, though I mostly disagreed with Sen. Mitch McConnell’s policy positions, I respected him as a patriot and as someone who wanted to do what was best for our country. Then came the Obama years and McConnell’s avowed — and proud — refusal to work in a bipartisan manner. And now, there is his treatment of Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

I do not believe McConnell is a patriot; instead, he is an embarrassment.
