   The GOP shouts it out loud- there is one rule of law for us – and another for the president. I do not ever want to hear a claim that the GOP is the party for law and order. It is a seditious lie. Vote them all out. https://t.co/lnMkt7AjE6

   I have said it before and will say it again: No one has blown up more Senate norms, destroyed comity more while giving a middle finger to fairness and honesty than Mitch McConnell. No one is even close.
