Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters that he’s “fine,” after freezing during a news conference on Wednesday.
At the risk of sounding like an ass… why? He’s done a lot of horrible things that affected a LOT of people.
Oh you won’t see me disagreeing that he’s made bad decisions in the Senate but I do think we should keep some things separate such as politics and wishing someone’s health doesn’t get worse.
Why? The man has used politics to consciously and deliberately harm millions of people. For years.
He doesn’t deserve respect, civility, or compassion. He deserves a swift fall and a sudden stop.
I can see this both ways - I also lamented his recovery, but it does make you feel something strange wishing for another human to die.
Your family raised you right.
I agree with a lot of people who disagree with you and your sentiment. But don’t stop.
At the end of the day we’re stuck on this planet together. Regardless how much of a d!ck someone is in real life, you don’t have to sink to their level.
As much as I dislike Mitch, I have to feel for all of his close family members who must be concerned for his health this evening. I might not care about that turtle, but that doesn’t mean I don’t feel bad for his family who saw their loved one experience a stroke on live television.
all humans deserve sympathy to an extent. we dont choose to be dropped into whatever environments shape our psyche… until later.
there are absolutely humans who have wreaked so much havoc on the rest of us, they do not deserve our ongoing sympathy, they not only do not deserve it, they have lost whatever humanity they were born with.
mitch is one of those people.
we need to turn our backs on people like this, not continually elect them ‘because its just politics’
Why not? It costs you nothing to be empathetic of others, regardless of their misdeeds. We’ve gotta do better if we’re going to make it as a society/species.
I’m not arguably the most powerful person in government playing at best an obstructionist role and at worst actively destroying the freedoms of the people I’m supposed to serve.
He doesn’t deserve any kind of sympathy and the world would be a better place without him. If we’re going to do better as a society, we have to call out the hatred and despicable behavior. Not by pretending we care about those knowingly and willingly destrying people’s lives.
