McConnell Would Support Extending Benefits If Trump Backs It | Morning Joe | MSNBC
When Trump is crying in a prison cell about how unfairly he’s been treated, everyone who walks by needs to tell him, “It is what it is.”
Ema W , you mean the tax payers money he got?
@mr ady and mim yay civil war? You seem to forget what happened last time to the racists,ya lost. And if the fat slobs I’ve seen running around trying to overcome their insecurities, n lack of confidence,by carrying guns. It would be a very quick loss,if they could stop screwing their sister long enough to get out the trailer door
@Parris Price I’m a Republican not a Democrat.
@Parris Price The Indians lost the war, those losers. They were screwing their daughters
@mr ady and mim yay sorry for your illness
This is no “extending benefits.” This is taxpayers’ money going back to taxpayers in times of need.
@jeff mcgowan tRump is not winning at all. you trumpers are all alike , ignorant.
@Diane Hooper why do you got to name call.. if you do.. can you quit using the dems fake names
@Diane Hooper you think ypou can call others names and that gets you a win..lol.. sorry loser
@Kirsten Grau U ole radical leftist demonRATS have the darnedest time trying to process facts.
@Trogg And Pelosi with Schumer have to portray themselves as “saviors”
McConnell is scared he’ll loose the senate if it isn’t extended, which he may do anyway.
@joel yazell yey but if they dont stop them there will be nothing to save
McConnell: “I would support extending benefits if Putin … ooh er, I mean trump backs it.
Hope He looses
@Damian Draven Moscow mitch McConnell is sending signals that he knows his days is Numbered its like playing hot.potato between him and trump they both are going down period
Americans have noticed that and he looks awful right now. 🇺🇸
Poor baby Mitch, he can’t cross the street without holding tRump’s hand.
Williamski H is a soon to be deceased Russian troll! As soon as they drag Humpty Drumpty out of the White House by his wrinkly balls Putin will begin eliminating you and your pals! All of a sudden no more Williamski H Tweatleski Frictionski Snoopski Crystalski and many more! Especially since they are all you Moronski! Please do post the video when Putins goons hook up your balls to electrodes Americans can use a good laugh
Pipeski Downavitch Also Williamski H 🖕🖕
@tRumpet troll Killer Electrodes to the balls? That reminds me of a great song by the Dead Kennedy’s! 😃

@S RKH …Exactly…. McConnell’s Chokehold on the GOP Elected Representatives is ABSOLUTE (Exception Mitt Romney) and that Includes Trump. VOTE McConnell/Trump and the 22 Corrupt McConnell Controlled GOP Senators Up For Re-election on November 03, 2020 OUT Of OFFICE. And DEMAND Full Public Campaign Funding For ALL American Elections.
Tiny Hands ?
Moscow mitch, is just trying to play it off, because he knows elections are close
Moscow Mitch’s wife is a Chinese spy😶
@JD how did you know 😳😳
He’s carefully choosing his words so later he can point a finger at Trump and make him the fall guy for deficit spending and ballooning national debt. Mitch is enjoying this. He’s stuck between Nancy and Donny and knows Nancy is winning the battle. He’s even rooting for her to use this fiscal and health issue to land the TKO on Election Day. Mitch doesn’t care if he loses his own election. He will retire and be happy. Trump will be tossed out and potentially be handed over the SDNY? Republicans (The Lincoln Project) are even helping with that effort. Orange Clown Man anticipated to lose bigly in November. Should be entertaining. I hear election night coverage will have the biggest TV rating ever. 😂
Moscow Mitch is waiting for Trump’s permission again. Get rid of him too, Kentucky.
@19OldSchool73 well according to republicans proportionate taxation of the wealthy is an unspeakable crime. A report came out recently that the top one hundred richest corporations in the u.s. paid zero in taxes yet they receive subsidies in billions. We make thousands and pay taxes. Corporations make billions and pay nothing……there’s something wrong with this picture.
@Charles L Jones Greatest redistribution of wealth scheme ever created by man. Feudal lords with their peasants screamimg to cut the lords taxes more and to take more from them.
@Charles L Jones Trump is going down this November. If he think he’s going to stay in the White House past Jan 20th, he’s be escorted out by the Feds.
@RedondoBeach2 Sounds exactly like HUSSAIN obama, pelosi, and Reid.
@Charles L Jones U should go help Babbling Biden—maybe he can decipher ur theory.
Trump is only powerful because he has Moscow Mitch, Bill Barr, and FOX News.
All of them will dump him when his election loss becomes a near certainty. In fact, they will flip on him and find a way to say they never supported him.
FOX News? Why what in the world do you mean? . . . This FOX News?:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh4uS4f78o
Kaptain Kid yes that FOX News!
Rich family does not know what it means to live in poverty: 0 empathy
And, that is why we don’t need to have any empathy for them when we vote in November! They are clearly showing us that they don’t give a flying flip about us, they just care about the welfare wealthy😢
Not so much that they don’t know. It’s more that they don’t care. They need poor people. That’s what makes them rich. That’s what gives value to their wealth. That’s why republicans are against helping the poor. Greed. McConnell and his wife’s fraudulent activities getting rich on the backs of imbeciles who vote for them is all calculated. Their millions they get have only value the more others struggle. If everyone was well off, then they wouldn’t be (as) well off. That’s why republicans never try to fight income inequality/gaps. 1 million dollar is worth more, the less the bottom earners get and the bigger the gap. Your house is prettier when surrounded by ugly houses…
These people are playing politics with our very lives. Americans are hurting really bad. Because of this bad economy caused by the COVID-19 shutdown, you think our government would offer its tax payers some relief during this difficult time. People are dying, losing their jobs, scared to send their children to school, and loosing their homes, and these rich politicians are still playing politics with American lives. They don’t care.
It’s ironic cause Kentucky is hella poor and mitch runs that state.
And they don’t care
They act like they care about people, but the people have to beg them for basic survival needs.
Very true. Democrats must show leadership and compromise to deliver this aid package to American workers.
Yes and this should not be.,… families and children are hurting and suffering, help now
Andre Myers Yes indeed and as I said it is time for Democrats to show leadership on this and compromise was Republican so we can get this stimulus out to the American people that need the help. We also however, must understand that the job market is wide open. We see help wanted signs and all of this means higher wages for people going back to work. I am seeing advertisements for welders, over the road truck drivers, skilled mechanics, machinist and other well-paying jobs. Let’s do what we can do to get Americans back to work.
EVERYONE IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE BEEN GETTING$600.00 A WEEK!!!
Denise Michael Are you a socialist or communist? Why would you want to inflict that much harm on Americans to wish them to receive only $600 week. Why in the world would you want to do that to people?
McConnell will do anything for Trump as long as Trump doesn’t fire his wife.
“The American people need help” Really!?! So what clicked? The people need your help Now! Now hurry up. Btw, you’re so done Mitch. Don’t expect a seat in the Senate.
You tell him. He is soooooo gone.
What clicked was that he saw the polls and how bad it’s looking for him and the entire GOP.
Well we will see if the voters of KY see it that way let’s wait and see if the voters swallow Moscow Mitchs BS this time around only time will tell if they have had enough of Moscow Mitch?
Moscow Mitch sees he’s falling in his polls people VOTE him out
50,000,000 unemployed. 28% actual unemployment. Economy is failing. 🇺🇸
Antonio Fernandez Moscow Mitch is also known as the Grim Reaper for good reason.
McGrath has no chance if beating McConnell. Blacks in major areas of Kentucky don’t like her which is why McConnell is up 20 points in polls.
@Elijah Billings they are voting against themselves.
@Victoria Grayson add on to that McGrath is a horrible candidate. She is a corporate Democrat. She had no chance again mitch.
They’re just trying to do the right thing – for themselves.
Hmmm . . . the right thing for the wrong reasons. They say two wrongs don’t make a right, but do a right and a wrong make a right? Only the Right Wing Republicans know for sure.
My God, how difficult is it to help desperate Americans!
So very much True…
For multi millionaire Mitch…very hard….Kentucky don’t vote against yourself…Its time for you to Ditch the Mitch…
Republicans pretending to care around election time after almost 4 years of making Americans suffer painfully.
Golden Sun FOUR years?
That’s a wishy-washy fckin way to do the right thing.
mitch: “i’ll go along with whatever the adults decide.”
“Tangential” is such a diplomatic way of saying “irrelevant.”
And “irrelevant” is another way of saying “redundant” and redundant is another way of saying, “YOU’RE FIRED!” . . . . . Let’s fire Trump in November. TABA – Take America Back Again. Biden for president in 2020!
So now that his seat is up for grabs, now he wants to act like he cares.
McConnell: “I would support extending benefits if Putin … ooh er, I mean trump backs it.
