I think McConnell is a communist. It is far too easy for oligarchs and his Chinese family to talk him into a corrupted state of mind to benefit their own purposes. This is just too much already. Just before the 2020 elections he changed a vote to allow a Russian oligarch to build a steel rolling plant in Kentucky. We also know while his wife was Secretary of Transportation preference was given to Kentucky to receive monies for roads and bridges.
Not only that but McConnell had a hissy fit over the Supreme Court and any adjustments that need to be made to secure equal representation of all Americans not just the wealthy, Evangelicals (click here). McConnell wants a majority US Senate to control the Supreme Court. Make no doubts about it, that is his purpose.
Now, besides ending abortions, he wants to end a bill that will bring balance back to the USA when it comes to important domestic production of vital products such as medications and silicon computer chips. The US Senate seat in Ohio has the issue of computer chips at the center of the race.
Blocking this innovation bill serves no one except the Chinese and it has to end. The bill must go forward and now. The USA has to function when any emergency hits and realizing the failure of the Republicans during the pandemic only brings home the very wrong path the Republicans are taking the USA. We must stop them. They are compromising our national security, in practice and not in policy.
McConnell's wrongful priorities need to be investigated. This is more than a bad habit.

The White House lashed out at Senate Minority (click here) Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., over his threat to hold up negotiations on the bipartisan innovation bill if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., moves forward with a reconciliation bill aimed at tackling prescription drug costs and climate change.
"Senator McConnell is holding hostage a bipartisan package to make more in America and strengthen our competitive edge with China to protect big Pharma’s profits. It’s outrageous - we can and must do both," a White House official told Fox News.
"Leader McConnell himself agreed last fall that bipartisan negotiations shouldn’t be paused for other priorities saying: ‘Republicans have been negotiating in bipartisan good faith to meet the real infrastructure needs of our nation. The President cannot let congressional Democrats hold a bipartisan bill hostage over a separate and partisan process.’"...
