- Mitch McConnell did everything he could to stonewall Obamacare, even though government health care once saved his life. Jon Lovett from Pod Saves America explains how the longest-serving GOP leader in Senate history went from Kentucky's least believable frat boy to America's Super PAC darling.

Mitch McConnell has called himself the Grim Reaper of progressive policies and has a long list of terrible assaults on our democracy, including the following:
- Blocking President Obama from taking action to prevent Russia from colluding in the 2016 election.
- Denying President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland, a confirmation vote.
- Abusing the Nuclear Option to ram through Trump's judicial nominees, shifting the courts more to the right.
- Denying the full release of the Mueller Report.
- Pushing through the GOP tax plan that's nothing but a big tax giveaway to the rich (which is the reason why you likely either owe the IRS a lot of money or you're barely getting a tax return this year).

this man. this man makes me shake in rage. so much damage to our country is on his hands.
Old man needs to retire..
Same here
I was the one who really made America great again. If you don’t like it, you can leave.
@@judithmorneau6203 retire? nah. this man just needs to die honestly. don't care how bad that sounds.
I’d love to, and I did. Being an American is a shame anywhere else in the world... that is if you can get to another country now, thanks to our terrible response “action” with COVID.
Never thought I could be so disappointed by Polio
Lololol. Well fucking played
One should never wish a person would have died from a disease.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@matthewpellittieri6841 Even if the other person tries to help people die from diseases?
Matthew ForSenate2034 mitch McConnell is a turkey in a human suit
Another tough repub that chickened out of vietnam.
Jeff Bartolini it’s not just republicans that chickened out of Vietnam, democrats did to and some even lied about their service, it’s all the rich and elites that chickened out, McConnell doesn’t care about repub or dem values, he just cares about the rich and his own power
@Lewis 970 As apposed to the guy who never served at all.
@@jakduf1 Touche...though war mongers should have led a charge or two. And our military budget is off the hook. take care
personally my fave right wing tough guy too much of a pussy to actually join the military has to be ted nugent
Jack Duff you realize that most of them were against it anyway. So fighting in it would mean fighting against their own ideas
At 22 years old, McConnell was 58 years old
He lost his hairline during puberty instead of growing pubic hair 😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pinkcashmeres or a Pair of balls
More like 46
Bernie was 80 when he was 40, beat that!
He is such a hypocrite when he was sick as a child his family could not afford the medical care. And yet he now wants to take away the ACA
Innately evil
That's how they get to the power slam the door at the other's
Term limits
I actually agree with this.
That would end all these slimy career politicians 👍👍
For sure scum bags...
As per usual, anything that is good, Mitch is against it. McConnell is against term limits on congress because he said elections (being voted in or out) are their "term limits."
@@Bakazuraz I don’t lose elections. I’m 7-0
Quite simply.. He is a horrible human being
Yep! Totally. This is exactly what he is. A horrible human being.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
State of Kentucky has had the allowed itself to BE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER by the same “Man”, the same Senator Mitch McConnell. #RICHMTICH, #MOSCOWMITCH for 35 Years. Mitch McConnell NOTHING but ABSOLUTELY SCREW the Great People of KENTUCKY- HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, JOB OPPORTUNITY- all RANK BOTTOM of ALL 50 States in the US. THIS IS FACT. NOW, Even Worse, Mitch McConnell IS SCREWING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA- DESTROYING US NATIONAL SECURITY, the US CONSTITUTION, US RULE OF LAW. PERIOD, THE END. IF YOUR ARE BLIND TO THESE FACTS. YOU ARE BLIND TO REALITY.
@@deckearns Why do the good people of Kentucky continually vote for him? It is a shame that he is a draft dodger also. He is a disgrace to the Constitution and to the American people which he in his position is supposed to enact legislation.
Horrible, yes. Human, not.
VOTE HIM OUT 🤯
Maybe a true second amendment patriot can do something about him.
@@frontallobotomy3481 - At the start of this video, where he is holding up a gun, my first thought was "Perfect! Now somebody shoot him with it..."
We are talking about Kentucky here. You expect Kentuckians to vote him out? You can't expect that much from those fried chickens. They can't, don't and probably won't understand what's good for America. Too easy to dupe and too stupid to know any difference. Demon Mitch will forever be the bane of America.
@Sandra Slane You from Russia or Kentucky or Alabama?
How can this man keep being voted back into the Senate? He is plain evil.
Because most Kentuckians are stupid hillbillies.
He is anti democrat, so conservative republicans like him
Sandra Roberts well, he is from Alabama, so what can we expect.
Kentucky is a state full of mentally impaired people.
If you define him as evil then you are basically defining republicans as evil. Which by the way, if you ask most republicans, pelosi is plain evil.
Mitch McConell fought his entire life to do nothing in the senate
That's not true - He fought his whole life for the rich to get richer
@@hydradriveemperor9371 lol true
@@hydradriveemperor9371a very goog thing to do
You're just scratching the surface, his wife's family
And #UselessGITCHMitch Got A DopeSmuggling Speed Boat.
What about his wife's family?
Exactly. Thank you for bringing this up, Mickey. Cocaine Mitch's story hasn't even truly been exposed in this video.
Oleg Deripaska just invested hundreds of millions in his state, but its just a coincidence! Case closed. ... Case CLOSED!! wtf guys?? :D
I heard that Darnell, his wife's boyfriend, said: "Addison needs to work on his cardio and do lotsa' push-ups before he tries his shot back into the Majors"..... I'm not, uh, sure what he meant by that.
Pure and simple, I will dance a jig when I hear he's gone that's how much I despise him.
Well, start dancing!
I respect my elders, but he definitely has a face that needs a good punch.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Sam Smith he’s retired now.
Or seven
"Kentucky has one of the worst economies in U.S"
And yet Mitchy McConman funnels over $4.00 of our federal tax dollars *back to KY* for each $1.00 KY sends to D.C.
@@chasbodaniels1744 that's how this system works, states that can't afford themselves get money while states that make more than enough money to support themselves give money.
@@JastwatchingYT isn't that a socialist move.
@@deltaduke1157 that's a valid comparison I guess.
For about 1 second I wanted to give McConnell the benefit of the doubt. I thought, "Maybe he just grew up under ignorance/gullibility, maybe it's not his fault." Turns out he's exactly the greedy opportunist & hypocrite I always thought he was.
There should be no doubt. McConnell does not deserve any excuses. Born evil, soulless
Soulless indeed. Just like the rest of these Trumpers dividing America
And always will be...he is evil , and a very hateful entity.
Thank you love a longer piece on this guy i feel this is just scratching the surface.
Vote him out. He been in office for to long.
Kentucky folks, PLEASE vote him OUT!
He's about to
The prime example of American corruption... Snake in the grass would be an affront to all snakes with this guy
Someone said on twitter: "why did 2020 have to take Alex Trebek and not Mitch McConnell"
I can’t believe he’s still in power.
"It seems like the real problem was seeing himself go to Vietnam."
😆
1/6/2021 ! Minority Mitch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Georgia 🙏 🇺🇸
No problem
A DISGRACE, and a TRAITOR. His legacy will be judged harshly by history, and his moral deficiencies will scar the Senate forever.
So... he is just a massive hater.
He is way more than that... A coin would need more than 2 sides to represent this guys multi-faceted corruption
You forgot to mention that he was bought and paid for by special interests. The average salary for a senator is about 175,000. So how is mitch worth 27million?!?
It’s good to know. That reinforces one’s belief not to like this man.
The same reason every person to step into Washington steps out with millions, lobbyists
@@Redsox-ww3hn lmao trumps trailer park spiritual advisor
@@kerchow2062 wtf does that even mean
@@Redsox-ww3hn Which comment?
Ohhhhh.... I didn't know we had McConnell to "thank" for Citizens United.... yuck.
Just another accomplishment on the long list of “-achievements.” What a sick man.... can’t believe how much he’s at the center of the current problems in US politics. Say what you want, but he knows how to leverage power. Too bad he’s a literal sociopath
McConnell =Pure hate
All i can think is " Eww eww and eww"
Mitch: “We’ll see whether there’s a vacancy in 2020”
2020: 😬
honestly the best question is What is a Mitch McConnell? I have never been so disgusted by someone like him, i cant find a decent thing about him. so selfish and just utterly heartless
He needs to have his insurance taken away from him. He should pay for his own.
He doesn’t deserve any kind of insurance. He should move to another country. It’s a hideous sight , Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham.
0:49 - he is 22 years old in that picture? TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD! man, his looks have been on a downhill slide since birth!
He never did have a chin has he?
John Rife
Or a sense of ethics. Or even a soul.
Very evil. The physique reflects the evil soul.
Thank you for calling him by his real name: Addison
You kinda wonder what one of the poorest states in the USA keeps electing him ?
@Captain Obvious Mcconnel is no libertarain my dude. He is an authoritarain. Complete opposite
Chad The progressive libertarian
The state’s educational system ranks among the lowest.
the most surprising thing about this to me is that he has smiled, ever
People of Kentucky, please vote this guy out. He only listens to his donors, I don’t care how you vote but get this guy out.
I am shocked Mitch was once young in his life.
Ask Kentucky to retire him - he's been nothing but an injustice to us.
Lol I expected the theme song from "Franklin the 🐢", to explain his life.
A man who consistently puts party over country.
And feeds the rich.
“We’ll see what happens in 2020”
Unfortunately he didn’t have to wait that long...
I was hoping you would explain how he keeps winning in Kentucky, when it's remained one of the poorest performing states in every category under him.
"His base is the ultra-wealthy"
Oh.
I like the way Vic Dibitetto describes him. Terms like “Kentucky fried slice of taint” or “mint julep drinking ghoul with no chin” are both descriptive and accurate.
Sounds a lot like Sen. Kennedy!
Polio, you had one job!
How can he say "the people " when he represents the 1%.
"tHe SiLeNt MaJoRiTy"
One of the most despicable persons of our age.
Kentucky needs to get with it and vote this guy out of office! He has too much power.
If this was made when ACB replaced RBG... mitch is a disgrace and the definition of hypocrisy
Mitch McConnell is the only Squidward that I just can't love
Please, please, please in the people in Kentucky, VOTE HIM OUT!!!
Senate MINORITY Leader.
Mitch McConnell, 2016: "Either way, our view is this; give the people a voice in filling this vacancy."
Mitch McConnell, 2020: "F**K THAT!"
When this sad excuse of a man meets whichever maker he believes in, he will be judged and judged harshly.
Why is Mitch McConnell is a better question.
Now 3 Supreme Court appointments.
Mitch sold his soul to trump, who now pulls his vocal cord strings like a puppet master. Sad how he can’t think for himself any more.
McConnell was the epitome of evil BEFORE dolt 45 was handed the presidency!!
The secret is he's actually a powerful sith lord , with a secret plan!!!
I want to know how he made almost $25 million as a lifetime public servant.
Please, please vote him out! He has to be one of the most corrupt senators, and the biggest hypocrite.
If only time travel existed. We could go back to the day before Scalia's death, flip the turtle on its back, and walk away.
Throwing Down The Mask
Or use it to prepare turtle soup, then serve it to his constituents.
(I wouldn’t touch it.)
Who is here in 2020? The turtle is still here
I never really heard of him until I read about him blocking Obama's nominee, but after reading about all he's done, it makes me feel that nothing can be done with the state of politics in America and that I should move to another country.
It’s 9/18/2020, and it was just announced that RBG passed away. What a tragic, terrifying situation 😣
He looks like he always has a goldfish in his mouth
He talks like he has a goldfish in his mouth.
Ill save you 5 mins... He is the devil in a turtles body.
Nice job, Lovett!
The one turtle that everyone wishes was extinct.
Disappointed.
Was expecting Jon Lovitz' voice.
Beat me too it would have been 1000x better
Genuinely, the only reason I clicked.
i think he is con-servative
That's the ticket.
This still and probably will always fill me with so much anger. Just thinking about how Mitch mcconnell blocked Obama for 10 months and then turned around and shoved in one of the most disgusting human beings and another gross conservative and to the Supreme Court fills me with rage.
Ahah 2 lifelong appointments. Right
This video aged extremely well. Unironically.
who is Mitch McConnell
answer: a horrible turtle who is thankfully no longer senate majority leader but MINORITY leader
and thank heavens its now Schumer
Can I get a like if Mitch McConnell has to go
He's alive and well thanks to the generosity of a government that thought all kids - no matter their parents' income - should have access to medical treatment. Too bad he hasn't afforded others the same by continuously attacking affordable healthcare proposals.
Been waiting for this one...
Love him or hate him you have to admit he is a political genius.
Is this journalism or satire? Came for facts, got jokes.
When his career is full of irony and hypocrisy, you can't help but laugh.
@@calmye633 You're not wrong...
Kentucky has to be the worst state in this country.
Ever since Stephen Colbert said "This is Kermet the frog, aged!"...Its subconscious. EVERY time i see his face i just cannot believe how spot on it is!
The US Senate needs to change its rules. It's a representative body. It was not intended for one Senator to be able to block everyone else in the Senate from voting or discussing issues. That's simply too much power. Even though I consider Mitch to be a traitor to our democracy and this country, he isn't the problem. It's the Senate Rules. Let's get em changed and solve this problem and move on.
Mitch McConnell disgusts me. 🤮🤮🤮 I’m not understanding how he alone blocked judge Merick Garland from being appointed.
That ending tho 🤣😂🤣
Mitch looks like something out of a Guillermo del Toro film, like one of the puppets mixed with a slug maybe?
A guy past his due date.
Had no idea that he was simply another crook for the millionaires.
Here we are almost in 2021 and this video perfectly foreshadowed what was going to happen with the supreme court again.
Incorrect Title: change to:-
Why is Mitch McConnell?
Checkmate
Everyone should message this guy and tell him to sign the bills that would help out the Americans
"Credible" accusations against Kavanaugh? What a joke
Pure evil
Don't change my word !!! I called mitch gabby, turtle boy !!!
Flabby
Mitch McConnell? More like BORE-RAGNAROK!
Please Georgia! We need to get this evil man out of power.
... Kentucky.
I just can’t get over the fact that his first name is Addison. Like what??
well he is making me sick
Wow...watching this a year later is trippy.
It's incredibly appropriate that he first got elected in 1984
What a crook, through and through.
