Yeah, I know … nothing about Mitch McConnell should surprise me.

Still, the message from the U.S. Senate majority leader given his longstanding relationship with President-elect Biden does raise my eyebrows.

McConnell is giving credence to the idiotic conspiracy theory being kicked out by Donald J. Trump that illegal voters carried Biden to the presidency. He is digging in his heels on whether to even offer a word of congratulations to the president-elect; McConnell had the chance today during a Senate floor speech to offer a good word to his “friend,” but he choked.

McConnell continues to behave in a manner that gives politics and politicians a bad name. As for Trump, he’s been a lost cause from the moment he rode down the escalator to announce his presidential candidacy. I am so glad he got beat.

I just wish McConnell would recognize the obvious and get behind the president-elect and declare his intention to actually work with Democrats in search of legislation upon which they all agree.

Isn’t that part of the oath he took?
