.MaddowBlog: Ignoring irony, McConnell accuses Dems of taking a ‘one-year vacation’
If there were a Hall of Fame for political hypocrisy, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would be a first-ballot inductee.
Donald Trump, who’s deeply invested in labeling the opposition party “Do-Nothing Democrats,” was delighted with the comments, though those who take reality seriously should be far less impressed. So far this year, the House Democratic majority has passed its democracy-reform package , the Equality Act to expand civil rights to LGBTQ Americans , the Dream and Promise Act , the Paycheck Fairness Act to address pay disparities between men and women , a bill to expand background checks on gun purchases , and a bill to address the climate crisis .
It’s been three months, as of Sunday, since the Senate last took yeas and nays on a genuine, full-fledged bill…. The United States Senate, that great deliberative body, has effectively ceased legislating this year. It has shut down. Closed for business until 2021.
