Social Media Reacts To Mitch McConnell Stepping Down As Senate GOP Leader

Mitch McConnell stacked the Court, undermined our democracy, and enabled Donald Trump.

And yet – in his absence – the @SenateGOP will invariably select someone more extreme.

With our democracy more fragile than ever, we must select and elect leaders committed to protecting it.

Mitch McConnell has been the most successful Confederate since John C. Calhoun. Congratulations to him and his people in their service of evil.

Trump has almost completely destroyed the Republican party. Mitch McConnell is letting you know that it will be an unmitigated bloodbath in November for the GOP.

Sen. Mitch McConnell’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil. https://t.co/TiJDog1enc

McConnell’s legacy:

Reminder that Capitol Police released a statement expressing "profound disappointment" with Mitch McConnell for his attempt to cover-up the January 6th domestic terror attack on the U.S. Capitol on behalf of Donald Trump. pic.twitter.com/o0cZ5c7UGQ

Mitch McConnell has announced he’ll step down as GOP Leader in November. It’s the end of a terrible era. His legacy will be the obstruction of progress, furtherance of a regressive conservatism, and the enabling of an extremist wing of his party.

His successor will be even worse

Please no tributes to Mitch McConnell, the person who most enabled Trump to attack our democracy.

Mitch McConnell had the chance to indict Trump in his second impeachment, but he didn’t.
He said he was responsible for Jan 6th and then like a coward, he kicked the can down the road.
He could have stopped Trump from running again, but he didn’t.
He didn’t do the right thing… pic.twitter.com/I4oJyCtEi4

Pro tip: do not let the media memorialize this dude.

Mitch McConnell is a monster who has fueled the fires of fascism in this country and intentionally worked against women & marginalized groups in this country.

There is nothing to commemorate here except his absence. pic.twitter.com/iPhPqDMJbd

Mitch McConnell failed to do his basic constitutional and patriotic duty to convict and disqualify Trump after Jan. 6. And now, no matter what happens this November, Trump will continue to be the leader of the Republican Party while McConnell will be gone. https://t.co/mSQzloiBcL

Trump hurled racist venom at Mitch McConnell’s wife

He humiliates McConnell all the time

He replaced his beloved GOP with MAGA

He terrorized the Capitol in which McConnell has worked for decades

So what does McConnell do?!

He’s about to ENDORSE TRUMP AGAIN

I. Kid. You. Not.
