Breaking news McConnell has finally figured out he has lost control of the Republican party.

[DMac-ghcy]

He managed to destroy his party, our country, and possibly democracy itself. That's his legacy.

[terrygoyan]

The end of his contributions! Yup, he's done about as much damage as he could to our

[lisablake]

He's been a boil on the butt of this country for too long.

[elaineisabelle]

It's about time, I think you've done enough damage to our courts and the country.

[judithking]

Thank God! He was unethical and supported and led the charge to confirm incompetent federal judges on the bench. Young inexperienced, incompetent, and uneducated about the law lifetime judges. Bye, Mitch🎉.

Contributions= Damages to this Country.

Don't let the door hit your shell on the way out!

[scardini]

Wish he had had this 'clarity' ten years ago.

term limits. you have done nothing for the party nor for your state. shame on you.

[belovedchild]

What a destructive human being. My guess is his successor will be much worse, in part because of the terrible precedents he set. His place in history has been established and it isn’t good.

[factsuniverse]

"My wife is about to inherit the BILLION dollar shipping company that her recently deceased sister was in control " is what he really said

[cesargabrielmunive]

Good riddance don’t let the door hit you on the way out

[DM-sdfg]

Stepping down rather than standing up to Trump and MAGA, sad way to leave.

[theflash]

Good riddance. He never had the balls to stand up to do what's right. We need term limits!

[donnafechter]

He should have stepped down like his wife did on January 6

[_krimzen_]

He knows what’s coming. Dem majority in both chambers. Good riddance.

[Fernandosantanajr]

Couldn't happen at a better time. This is the last nail on the coffin that is the republican party. The most effective republican stepping down. Cheers

[molly]

Why not retire RIGHT NOW! 😡
He's a disgrace. 😡

[pamelabarela]
