Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has been holding COVID-19 relief hostage since for six months. His refusal to negotiate and his unreasonable demands have meant that struggling people had no choice but to try to return to their normal daily lives only to see the pandemic worsen. McConnell is just a responsible for tens of thousands of deaths as trump. His insistence on his “Free Pass to Tyson for Murdering Workers” liability shield will make him responsible for more deaths if he has his way. Not even the abject suffering of the people of Kentucky will move him. “You hear the desperation in the phone calls: ‘I have to pay my rent today. I’ve done everything I can do. I’ve offered to rake leaves or mow grass or anything I can do.’ They’ve lost their job or the stimulus has run out,” Chris Bartley, associate pastor at a Methodist church in Pikeville, Kentucky, told AP. “I’m dealing with more mental health issues than I ever have in 20 years,” he said. His church’s food pantry saw some fall in demand after the CARES Act passed in March, but that’s gone, and now “It’s almost as much as we can do to keep up again,” Bartley said. https://dailysoundandfury.com/mcconnell-watches-own-constituents-suffer-and-does-nothing-we-have-to-take-his-majority-away/
