Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell waited approximately two hours after the news broke that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away to issue a statement saying the Senate would waste no time voting on a Trump nominee to replace her.
“President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate,” the 78-year-old Kentuckian affirmed.
The Senate and the nation mourn the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life.

It was an a**hole move, but not the least bit surprising given that this is Mitch McConnell we’re talking about.
Shortly after he put out that statement, an old video of McConnell tripping on stage began recirculating on social media.
The video was recorded during a campaign event in 2014 and shows McConnell falling on his way to the podium while his wife, Elaine Chao, watches and doesn’t bother helping him up until after several others rush forward to assist.
This is so satisfying ??

Normally, we would say that it’s not nice to take pleasure in someone falling in public… except when that person has actively worked against LGBTQ rights for the past 30+ years, lodged racist attacks against President Obama for eight years, is doing everything he can to take healthcare away from millions of Americans, has given Donald Trump free rein to do whatever the hell he wants, and totally dishonored Ruth Bader Ginsburg mere hours after she died.
Then it’s just called Karma.

All these anti – LGBTQ Republicans are the most wimpy tentative little things. There isn’t a contestant on Drag Race who couldn’t have taken Mitch down in his prime with one hand tied behind their backs.

Right on Cam!

I pay to see one of the Drag Race contestants b****slap his vile, right-wing @ss! For an LGBTQ/civil rights charity, of course!

BITCH MCCONNELL IS A PIECE OF SH*T.

Ha ha! Moscow Mitch is such a wimpy creature who has no compassion for our values, only for Trump and himself!

And such a graceful, masculine fall — full of athleticism and vivacity; hands in the air, then crawling on all fours to the podium. A true Trump toddling old fa*t. No jumping up and saying “I’m okay” and his wife just looks at him like “oh, you’re not dead” (kind of what we were all thinking).
