GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday called the Senate “the most privileged nursing home in the country.”

In response to a question about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) apparently freezing up on Wednesday while taking questions in Covington, Ky., Haley said on Fox News that the Kentucky senator has “done some great things, and he deserves credit,” but emphasized that “you have to know when to leave.”

““No one should feel good about seeing that any more than we should feel good about seeing Dianne Feinstein, any more than we should feel good about a lot of what’s happening or seeing Joe Biden’s decline,” Haley said. “What I will say is, right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country.”

        This. He denied Garland to the Supreme Court. Then without a shred of shame shoved Barret through. He blatantly shat on a precedent he himself set. His supporters don’t care. They think this is good.

      His unwavering support for Ukraine.

      Or if you want a dish that is well chilled but much spicier look no further than the Anti-Corruption Act of 1988

        Sad that “one great thing” now equates to doing their fucking job.

          To be fair, can you think of anything that would qualify as “one great thing” that doesn’t fall under the purview of “doing their job”?

          Like, I don’t think the expectation is that he would have run into a burning building to save some starving orphans?

            Assassinating hitler does not fall under doing their job and yet it would be a great thing to have done.

              Your right that’s what McConnell should have done
