    I tried to read this article, but I only got to the bit about McConnell blocking Garland’s nomination before it was clear that the author is so far up his own ass that it’s pointless trying to relate his points to what happened in the real world.

    Blocking Merrick Garland might have seemed like a clever political ploy at the time, but his subsequent rush approval of Amy Coney Barrett will go down in history as a textbook demonstration of hypocrisy in politics.

    I think Mitch McConnell’s hypocrisy will be the one thing he’ll be remembered for. Similar to how Benedict Arnold is simply remembered for being a traitor, Mitch McConnell will simply be remembered for being a hypocrite.
