Washington Post Headline: “Mitch McConnell could end the shutdown. But he\u2019s sitting this one out.”<\/h4>\n

This pathetic scoundrel is “sitting this one out” because he has a vested interest in keeping Trump in power and deflecting any meaningful legislation that would move the country forward.
\nHis wife, Elaine Chao, is Trump’s head of Transportation, and McConnell isn’t going to do anything to disrupt his wife’s job security, perks, and power. She is undue influence on his decision making, especially in issues involving the Trump administration.
\nA reporter, any journalist, should have asked whether his wife’s position in the Trump administration has any bearing on his decisions?<\/p>\n
