Mitch McConnell sinks to a whole new low

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Back in May of 2017, Palmer Report pointed to campaign finance records which revealed that Mitch McConnell’s Super PAC took millions of dollars of just barely legal campaign money in 2016 from a Kremlin oligarch with dual U.S. citizenship, even as McConnell was blocking the voting public from knowing about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Later in 2017, the Dallas Morning News confirmed what Palmer Report had reported about Mitch McConnell, but beyond that, his multimillion dollar payday went severely under-reported. As Donald Trump’s illegitimate presidency has gone on, McConnell has made one move after another which suggests that the Kremlin indeed succeeded in buying him off, just as surely as it bought Trump off. Now McConnell is at it again.

Yesterday, Robert Mueller publicly testified before Congress that Russia is still attempting to meddle in our elections as we speak. Yet today, Mitch McConnell moved to block the Senate from confirming two bills that would have helped protect U.S. elections from Russia and other foreign threats.

Mitch McConnell continues do to everything he can to make it easier for the Kremlin to hack into our elections, and he hasn’t even come close to offering a coherent reason for why he’s doing this – but we all know why. Whether McConnell is doing this because Russia bought him off, or because he believes that Russian interference is simply good for his Republican Party, McConnell is acting as a Russian asset.
