I blame Mitch McConnell for Trump coup. History will not look kindly upon him | Letter

Thanks, Mitch! Quite a list developing here eh.Uniquely unqualified and dangerous cabinet nominations. Cessation of congressionally authorized funding programs. Attack on and degradation of civil servants. Department of Education on the block. FBI purges. USAID shuttered. Attacks on the free press. Unlawful access to treasury databases and payment systems by Elon. Stop and ponder this for a moment. Musk has taken over the treasury and now has all the personal information of millions and millions and millions of American citizens. What could go wrong?I blame you, Mitch. You sir in my view are singularly responsible for what can only be described as a coup against our democracy that is now underway. Your beloved GOP and Senate are in lockstep with this. You and you alone had a moment in time, that fleeting chance, a historic opportunity to exemplify patriotism.Post Jan. 6 the door was open for you to wield your legendary mastery of the Senate. You stood in the breach and could have protected the American experiment. But alas, you slinked away and failed miserably. What was it you said on the floor of the Senate? "He hasn't gotten away with anything yet...yet". Mitch! Your legacy is cemented. History will not look kindly upon you.
