Mitch McConnell watches as Kamala Harris makes history — and becomes the tie-breaking vote that will soon dislodge him as Senate majority leader. pic.twitter.com/peeIEdvsAk

Senator Mitch McConnell arrived at Joe Biden‘s Inauguration yesterday morning as the Senate Majority Leader. He left, however, as the Senate Minority Leader. This was thanks, in no small part, to Vice President Kamala Harris. (And Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.)

Today, McConnell’s much deserved demotion was made official on social media when he changed his Twitter handle and bio. But instead of switching it from “Senate Majority Leader” to “Senate Minority Leader,” McConnell simply changed his handle to @LeaderMcConnell and is calling himself the “Senate Republican Leader”, leaving out the important minority distinction.
Can we talk about how Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is referring to himself "Senate Republican Leader" and "@LeaderMcConnell" because he can't bear the thought of changing majority to minority pic.twitter.com/7BXADevP8A

Meanwhile, his old Twitter page @senatemajldr has been deactivated.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Evidently, the 78-year-old, who spent the last four years enabling Donald Trump and turning a blind eye to his lawlessness for the sake of packing the courts with conservative judges, just couldn’t stomach the thought of being a minority.
But don’t worry! The rest of Twitter is making sure the world knows the Senator from Kentucky’s new title…

He’s already whining that they aren’t paying enough attention to what he wants, so yes…he now cares about minorities. Of one…him, particularly.

The GOP is great at making their own not accepting the truth, just ask Lindsey Graham

According to Republicans, “Unity” means they get to do whatever they want when they’re in the majority, and Democrats need to do whatever Republicans want, when the GOP is in the minority.

Yes, every other Democrat or Republican who been in his shoes, accept the name of Senate Minority Leader.
