McConnell guilty of treasonous acts

There are many reasons why Mitch McConnell should be removed from office. Here are some of the most egregious:

1) After Obama won the 2008 election, Mitch blatantly declared on live television that their (he and GOP) number one job was to ensure that Obama was a one-term president and will do NOTHING to support him. He repeated that they will do nothing to support Obama after he won the 2012 election. If these were not treasonous acts, what are?

2) He refused to hear/debate Obama's Supreme Court nominee after Antonin Scalia's death, nine months before election, 11 months before inauguration.

3) Mitch and the GOP changed the Senate confirmation rules in 2017 to allow Supreme Court nominees to be confirmed via a simple majority vote and rushed through the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch.

4) He rushed through the confirmation of Bret Kavanaugh.

5) He allowed Trump to nominate Amy Coney Barrett just two months before the 2020 election (after having denied Obama's nominee for over nine months) and confirmed her ONE month later just before the election.

6) After the 2020 election, Mitch again said that he and the GOP will do nothing to support Biden. (Again, treasonous.)

7) Actions to undermine voting rights.

There are many more reasons, including his overall obstructionist actions making Congress a "Do nothing Congress." Think of holding up judicial, cabinet and other executive office appointments, lack of affordable health care, lack of gun control reform, standardized national voting rights, etc.

All of these actions are in line with his "do nothing to support ..." stance.
