Episode #77: Is Mitch McConnell Sabotaging His Own Party?

2 years ago
182

Jacob and Eric open the episode with a discussion on how the shady new "ranked-choice" system in Alaska led to Sarah Palin losing a deep-red seat, before giving their takes on Joe Biden's hyper-partisan speech at Independence Hall declaring "MAGA Republicans" to be a threat to his vision of the United States. For the main topic, they explain how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is taking steps to deliberately sabotage America First candidates for the U.S. Senate, and how he is prepared to cost the Senate GOP a majority just so he can remain in power, rather than face a new pro-Trump majority that will not let him be Leader again.
