“There’s very little tangible evidence of this whole voter-suppression nonsense that the Democrats are promoting.” In an interview, Sen. McConnell said he sees little sign that minorities face voter suppression and defended police in society.

WASHINGTON—Sen. Mitch McConnell said he sees little sign that racial minorities are contending with voter suppression and defended the current role of police in society, signaling limits to how far Republicans will go in response to demands for change touched off by the killing of George Floyd in the custody of the Minneapolis police.

“You know, you can either look at the situation with despair, or say well, yes, there are still problems but it is dramatically better in almost every measurable way since it was in...

MoscowMitch is using the 60's as his measuring stick. Spoken like a true priveldged old white man.

Mitch McConnell, is saying: Well at least Black People aren't Slaves anymore. See how lucky 'They' are. Implicit Racism is still Racism; it's on the Down Low.

I am shocked at Mitch McConnell's position. Shocked! ... well, not that shocked.

Butt plug with glasses !

Even if we generously assume for the sake of argument that everything actually is dramatically better since the 1960s: does Mitch think things got that way by people being quiet and not making a fuss?

'Be grateful it isn't as bad as it was when we were hosing you down and lynching you in the streets' -McConnell

MoscowMitch is afraid of losing his white privilege and power.

wow

The King of Voter Suppression, Moscow Mitch, speaks.😅😂🤣😂😂😅

Sad that he actually thinks this is okay

“You know, you can either look at the situation with despair, or say well, yes, there are still problems but it is dramatically better in almost every measurable way since it was in the 1960s.” In other words, Mitch says be happy with what you got. As least you’re allowed to vote

The worm's eye view.

Is he kind of saying “Hey, you’re not slaves anymore, what’s the problem”

Mitch has to be retired, his wife needs to go to jail, or we need to rethink Kentucky!

He’s such a douche bag

Rich white man doesn't want to change anything because all the cards are in his pocket... Color me shocked.

WSJ Dramatically Better, so MITCH what happen to George Floyd that sprung a Civil Rights Movement during a National Pandemic as THE PRESIDENT Gasses, Beats & Shoots Peaceful Protestors & POSTS the WHITE POWER chant, funds statues that support an economy based on SLAVERY is better

Viable change shouldn't take 50 years. The mindset of the 1960's is still here. Most people, even whites can't recognize it's subtleties. When corporations only have blacks in the warehouse? Look at the type they let in HR? People have told me they voted via cellphone?

We need new leadership man. Mitch McConnell looks like what would happen if one of David Icke's Lizard people got cancer and was becoming too thin for his skin suit.

Evidently McConnell thinks 'despair' = wanting to improve things beyond where they are today.

And he thinks he's is a small god!

Mitch gotta go VOTE him out

The inherent racism of the Republican cult will always be there. Asking the Republican cult to stop being racist is like asking a person to stop breathing. It is necessary for it to exist.

If he had his way, it would be 1860!

WSJ: this will be a good article Everyone else:

we should always strive to do better. But overhauling is rarely the right answer.

It's over Mitch. We need someone with balls instead of you.

So out of touch with Americans. MoscowMitchMustGo

“We let you use our water fountains what more do you want?” -Mitch McConnell 2020

Idiot

shocking- I didnt think there was a limit to the extent to which the GOP was willing to allow the country to be racially blackmailed.

Oh my gosh. This dinosaur 🦕 has to go

Mitch McConnell takes the white stance that minorities should be happy with what they got, and the WSJ broadcasts his message. Sick,.

McTurtle speaks!. Open your eyes moron!. The GOP KNOWS THE LESS PEOPLE WHO VOTE THE BETTER FOR THEM AND THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE VOTING AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE IN EVERY STATE THEY CONTROL!!.

So he hasn't seen or heard of closing polling places resulting in incredibly long lines, just to name one piece of evidence. How about the purging of voter rolls of voters who are active voters?

and that's headline making? or even a surprise?

So do you think the postal worker picking up your vote out of your mailbox would be willing to throw out a few just saw a democrat would win, look what Democrats are willing to do to their own cities like Seattle New York Chicago all so that they can win

But yet there’s real evidence that putting our ballots in the hands of unionized postal workers has great potential for election fraud, if Democrats are willing to do the things they’ve done to our cities what would they be willing to do with your vote

There’s a reason he’s known as Moscow Mitch McConnell

🤔, well when you're part of the problem you can't see anything else, nor are you trying to make and changes either. Once they're removed from office then things will change for the better and not the worst.

It’s just a coincidence that we’ve spent the last generation trying to figure out ways to make it more difficult for minorities to vote when we could have spent that time on voter outreach and winning their favor via the “marketplace of ideas.”

Really? You have the gall to PUT A LIMIT MOTHERFUCKER !!?😡🤬😡🤬

AMERICA'S BIGGEST VILLAIN

This man is the real instigator and silent director running the show from back end. The actor seems dumb and likes the front end publicity and has shown being way too easy please. Partners in so called.....what?

Of course this idiot would say this. GTFOH

Having to wait 6 hours in line to vote during a surging virus 'in selected neighborhoods' is unequivocally voter suppression.

Vote his ass out with Trump two of a kind crooks and there are more that needs voted Out

VOTE THIS GUY OUT

The man is 78 he should be sitting on a porch sipping lemonade in some gated community . That goes for half the GOP Senators they have 6 in there 80's for God sakes retire!!

The Devil has planned senatemajldr's time in Hell. Mitch finds himself standing in a long line stretched to the horizon. It is sweltering and mosquitos are biting. He sees he is the only old white male in line. The faces of color look back with contempt. The line does not move.

You stay out of it. Stop 🛑 FWTV Mitch Bitch Vote Blue in Kentucky

There is even less evidence of any voter fraud that the Republicans are promoting.

How many lies does a lyin’ sack make? If a lyin’ sack does make lies? MoscowMitch

He’s a corrupt criminal. Can’t wait till he’s gone!

lindsaywise If McConnell can't see voter suppression happening it's willful. It was well documented in Georgia this past election. Huge lines in black areas with polls reduced and easy access in red areas.

same old bullshitter, when will it stop.

Ever wonder if Mitch accidentally pinches the waddle every time he buttons the top button on his shirt? Cause I can't not think about it now.

How much did he and his wife get from CCP? Asking for a friend

And a little doesn’t matter? Vote for sanity. Vote for Dr. JoJorgensen2020

mcconnell is a liar and a thief. he has stolen education, housing and education from those who foolishly return him to office year after year. yes, there is vote suppression. even trump had to admit if republicans didn't suppress votes republicans would seldom win.

He is a joke. How many bills do you have sitting on your desk that you won’t take to the floor for discussion?

'Very little' is not the same as none. Also, what does he mean by 'tangible'?

How about starting this with 'Despite ample evidence to the contrary,'?

Pitch Moscow Mitch

Georgia? Wisconsin? Kentucky? For the GOP, a good election is one where white people vote easily and black and brown people have to wait in long lines during a pandemic.

I'm gonna fly to wherever he's buried and take a shit on his grave when he dies

What you just did in your state?

This vile corrupt party zealot has no credibility. He has no ethic standing to assess anything other than his own interests. McConnell is part of the cancer feeding the tumor of Donald Trump. And it is slowly, inexorably, killing this nation.

fortunately, the majority of america knows better......... another delusional dinosaur republican, no 'tangible' evidence of fossil fuel global warming either,...... another birtherism fool...........

Democrats call preventing voter fraud 'voter suppression' because to a democrat preventing illegal votes is suppression.

We all know where frog face double turtle neck stands on social issues. He's blowing the dog whistle for his mostly white conservative voter base in Kentucky.

The usual from the right: things don't exist as long as they don't admit that they exist. They employ the same approach to climate change, the coronavirus, racism, Trump's corruption, etc..

Of course he denies it exists. He wants to continue on in an unfair society with voter suppression. That’s the only way republicans will be elected, as admitted by Trump himself.

senatemajldr In fairness and to your credit, why would you admit to an illegal system that you and your criminal enterprise put in place so as to keep yourselves relevant and in power...I guess if I was you I wouldn’t see that evidence either

MoscowMitch MitchMcConnell needs to go. ENOUGH EnoughIsEnough this self minded high horse soap box louse who took took took for himself while doing squat/nada/nill for Kentucky thru so many terms, NEEDS TO GO! CORRUPTION corrupt CorruptGOP GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPCowards

He's looking more and more like the slug he is... good call clairecmc

I’m offended, as a Tennessean, that he knows so little of my state, being a neighbor. We’re 49th in voter turnout and it’s by design. Just based alone on how our state gov bent over backwards to try to thwart mail in voting during a pandemic should give Mitch a clue.
