We were betrayed by The Top Times McConnell in 2022

 

Senator Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Republican from Kentucky) has been a sworn enemy of conservatives all his life. Here are nine examples of how he opposed and contradicted conservatives between 2010-2012:

1) McConnell Gave Ukraine $45 Billion in Aid

In December, McConnell worked with Democrats to pass the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, which included $45 billion worth of American taxpayers’ money designated for Ukraine. The $45 billion is in addition to the $66 billion of taxpayers’ money American lawmakers had already approved for Ukraine.

“Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans. That’s sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment,” McConnell claimed.

2) McConnell Pushed Omnibus Spending Bill, Despite House Republican Objections

McConnell worked in November against House conservatives to push through the $1.7 trillion Omnibus Bill through Congress. Because it funded the whole fiscal year, House Republicans opposed the Omnibus Bill. Alternatives to the omnibus bill were offered by House Republicans. This would allow them more input following the January election of the Republican House majority.

3) McConnell Pulled PAC Ads Out of New Hampshire, Effectively Sabotaging GOP Candidate Don Bolduc

McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund removed all its advertisements from television in New Hampshire in October. The decision ripped $5.6 million away from Republican Gen. Don Bolduc’s candidacy and greatly helped incumbent Democrat Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) win reelection.

4) McConnell Attacked Senate Republican Candidate Kelly Tshibaka

McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund poured $9 million to support conservative Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka. This was done in order for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-AK, to remain 21-year incumbent. Murkowski defeated Tshibaka in November with the help of this money.

McConnell’s attack on fellow Republican Tshibaka was censured by the Alaska Republican Party in October. Additionally, Alaskan Republican committees issued a public rebuke of McConnell’s financial influence behind Murkowski.

5) McConnell Defunded Arizona Senate Candidate Blake Masters

In August, the Senate Leadership Fund suddenly canceled about $8 million worth of ad buys in Arizona. The cancellation hurt Republican candidate Blake Masters’ chances of defeating Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who went on to defeat Masters by a narrow margin.

6) McConnell Helped Joe Biden Fuel Inflation

McConnell stated in September that inflation was among the three most important midterm issues. Yet he and the Washington, DC, establishment worked against conservatives to pass several massive spending bills that fueled soaring costs for American workers.

From 2021-2022, McConnell voted for the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending, $1.9 trillion for COVID-19 corporate bailout, and the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bills – all items of legislation that have fueled inflation, according to experts.

Experts predicted that inflation would soar. cost American families could earn an extra $5520 per year in 2022, according to a Heritage Foundation study. A Heritage Foundation study found that Americans have an additional $5,520 in 2022. lost Since Biden took office, $4,200 has been the annual income.

7) McConnell Remained Silent on Biden’s Speech Attacking MAGA Movement

In September, McConnell refused to condemn Biden’s speech in Philadelphia that labeled “MAGA Republicans” A threat to the country

MAGA Republicans do not respect the constitution,” Biden claimed. “They do not believe in the rule of law … they do not recognize the will of the people.”

“They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country,” He added.

Five days after the speech, McConnell’s office refused to respond to Breitbart News’s request for comment.

8) McConnell Voted ‘Yes’ on Senate Gun Control 

In June, McConnell worked against conservatives and voted for gun control measures following the Uvalde, Texas, shooting.

“The American people want their constitutional rights protected and their kids to be safe in school. They want both of those things at once,” McConnell claimed. “And that is just what the bill before the Senate will help accomplish.

9) McConnell Voted to Extend Taxpayer aid to Ukraine 

McConnell voted against conservatives in March and September and for huge amounts of Ukraine aid. In March, the US spent $14 billion. This sum was increased by $12.35 trillion in September. In total, McConnell and the Democrats have voted to give over $100 billion of taxpayers’ money to Ukraine.
