Mitch McConnell is pulling in and costing lots of money for someone who is fraudulently alive.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.

Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

when she was absent for over two months?

It’s not the first time an elderly elected official has been unable to show up for an extended period and it won’t be the last.
