You know the old saying, that in Washington a gaffe occurs when a politician accidentally speaks the truth? It needs to be slightly amended: A gaffe is when, after years of successfully masking it, a Republican reveals how awful he truly is. Which is what Mitch McConnell did yesterday — except since "gaffe" doesn't rhyme with "Mitch," we'll call it a "glitch."
Concern about equal access to voting rights, McConnell said, "is misplaced because if you look at the statistics, African-American
voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans." Hey, Mitch! As long as you're being honest about your racism, you forgot to the word "real"!
Now, Black people are posting selfies to Twitter and saying, "I am an American," with the hashtag #mitchplease. It warms our hearts every time we see one.
Not being black cats ourselves (like our friend above), we can only show our ardent support for our fellow Americans and our complete and utter disdain for Mitch McConnell, who has to be the most evil Republican now living. Yep, he might even beat out Benedict Donald on that score, although it's neck-and-neck. In our view, McConnell has done more damage to the country over a longer period of time (the Supreme Court being Exhibit A).
Meanwhile, has anybody asked Kentucky's Black (and Republican) attorney general, whom McConnell has been grooming to succeed him in the Senate, how he feels about not being a "real" American? If not, why not? We cats HISS.
