Could Mitch McConnell be drawing a line in the sand?

[Yorkie Mom]

A reporter, Jane Mayer, posted a quote by Mitch McConnell tonight on twitter and later deleted it.

🚨 ALERT RE: McConnell - something sketchy is going on.

This news of McConnell telling Trump “no recess appointments” has been DELETED by the D.C.-based New Yorker reporter….

AFTER a sitting US Senator (@BasedMikeLee
) and basically the entirety of X got wind of the news.

It is a SEVERE F-up for a reporter with a news organization to somehow devise a quote up out of nowhere and attribute it to the wrong person. The event is reportedly in DC, and this reporter is based there.

Why delete it?

And NO retraction OR correction is listed on her account.

Was she given a command by a higher up because of the blowback?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By the way - this person is not stupid and knows a total forest fire was lit on X over the news SHE reported. Not issuing an immediate clarification or retraction signifies there was no error… someone just didn’t like the news being reported.

Odds are, it’s a private event, and no video.

2. He probably deleted it when he realized he's not going to be majority leader

in January and has no say on this.

3. Mitch didn't post it. It came from a reporter that he said it. Having said that, he won't be the one pulling

the strings. But... I'd love to see a good cat fight between him and Trump.

4. Ehhhh. It would involve sticking his neck out, and he's a turtle.

5. It could be as simple as her tweet attracted a horde of MAGAts

and she deleted it because it wasn't worth the hassle. I've seen that happen before.

Will just let the courts handle him……again.

7. It's nice to see that this is going to come to a head with the division being squarely in the GOP.

They know they don't have the votes to confirm.

At this point, it's just finding out which Slytherin are death eaters and which aren't.

8. I believe it because it isn't his power-play and it takes power away from the Senate.

I don't think Mitch is on the side of good. I just so happens that good and power are on the same side.

9. Damn, so Gaetz really is going to be Attorney General

That’s like putting The Joker in charge of hospital security.

13. I'm tired of rapid response image editing. This will have to do for now.

10. Has the weasel ever done one decent thing during his senate career ?
