Mitch McConnell Froze Again ... Time for Him to Resign [1]

Ageism is a problem in our country. It’s real. And its insidious. Often hiding behind claims of concern.

So, when Mitch McConnell had his first episode on July 26th, we were willing to overlook it. Perhaps, it was just a result of fatigue or dehydration as his staff suggested. And since he seemed to recover almost immediately, we gave it a wait and see approach.

But now, it’s happened again. And, once again, his staff seems to be dismissing the severity of the incident. So, we feel, unless his staff can offer a better answer -- offering details on the exact condition causing these incidents, and the treatment plan — we feel, it’s time for Mitch to resign.

And this is with the full knowledge that his replacement might be worse. And more dangerous. Despite the fact that Kentucky currently has a Democratic governor, Kentucky law would require that McConnell be replaced by another Republican. However, some suggest he could challenge this law in various ways. Stall the appointment. Or simply appoint a Democrat and have the issue settled in court … or at the ballot box.

But, quite frankly, if he cannot get through a simple press conferences without the danger of a repeat of this incident, it’s time for him to go.

We know if Joe Biden had even one incident like this, Fox News would be calling for his resignation 24/7. Granted, Mitch McConnell currently doesn’t have a position as powerful as the Presidents. But he’s a bit too close to comfort to being Majority Leader to allow this to continue.

Although there are pitfalls in calling for McConnell’s resignation, at this stage we think it is the right thing to do.
