As the vote count at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this July moved to Kentucky, delegates roundly booed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
I doubt McConnell cared. Just as he relished liberals who called him the “Grim Reaper,” he knew none of his detractors could do what he did electorally or in terms of obstructing Democrats. And more than that, he must surely have known that he was the person most responsible for this moment. It was all set into motion three years ago, when he voted to acquit Donald Trump after the January 6 riot.
