McConnell Negotiating against Republicans

Share this story

This video is embarrassing to watch:

McConnell begins by bragging that the omnibus spending deal includes military-budget increases, without the domestic spending increases that Democrats normally demand. He then specifies that these increases are about matching America’s foes — China and Russia — and increasing assistance to Ukraine, which he then describes as America’s and Republicans’ top priority. He mentions no domestic priorities at all.
